INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

A NUMBER of Shakespearean studies, which have been published from time to time in periodical form, are gathered in this volume. All of them have been revised, and some of them have been condensed and emended by the author; who also added fresh matter on Shakespeare Glossaries and Lexicons, and a note on Mr. Walker's "Critical Examination of the Text."

It was while preparing this book for publication, that Mr. Grant White was seized by the long and painful illness from which recovery became impossible. His work upon it had so nearly reached completion, however, that little remained to be done beyond the customary corrections for the press. And his readers will remember, should inaccuracies appear in its pages, that they did not receive these last finishing touches from the hand now laid at rest forever.
