A NEW EDITION of SHAKSPEARE'S WORKS, (comprising the Plays and Poems,)
the Text formed from an entirely new Collation of the Old Editions; with
the Various Readings, Notes, a Life of the Poet, and a History of the
Early English Stage. By J. PAYNE COLLIER, Esq., F.S.A. Author of "The
History of English Dramatic Poetry and the Stage," &c. &c. The Type of
this edition has been expressly cast for it, and is the largest used for
Shakespeare's Works for these Twenty Years.

"The most perfect text with the fewest possible notes. Whoever wants
to know what Shakespeare wrote must refer to Collier's
edition."--_Monthly Magazine_.

"Mr. Collier has brought to his task the aid of great research,
discrimination, and intimate knowledge of the true mode of treating
his subject."--_Age_.
