By James Henry Hackett. Washington: Philp & Solomo John Quincy Adams said of Hackett's man- uscript notes on “ Hamlet,” that they + indi- cated how thoroughly he -had delved into the bottomlesg mine, of Shakespeare’s genius.” ‘This volume embraces the notes upon “ Ham- let,” above alluded to, and similariy suggestive and well defined criticisms upon various lead- ing Sbakspearean characters. Not the least in- teresting part of the volume, however, is + devoted to leading actors of «« Hamlet,” the Wo Keans, Cooper, the Vandenhoffs, Kemble, Macready, Booth, Forrest, and others. The cbapter of correspondence on Shakspearean subjects, introduces very many prominent literary personages; and the reader will fiad elsewhere in the work an elaboration of the ingenious theory set up by Mr. Hackett, that Shakspeare, as indicated by passages in his works, was aware of the “circulation ef the blood” prior to its alleged discovery by Har- wey.
