The chief requisites are a pure text (expurgated, if necessary), and the notes needed for its thorough explanation and illustration. Each of Shakespeare's plays is complete in one volume, and is pre- ceded by an Introduction containing the "History of the Play," the "Sources of the Plot," and "Critical Comments on the Play." From Horace Howard Furness, Ph.D., LL.D., Editor of the "New Vario- rum Shakespeare. ' ' No one can examine these volumes and fail to be impressed with the conscientious accuracy and scholarly completeness with which they are edited. The educational purposes for which the notes are written Mr Rolfe never loses sight of, but like "a well-experienced archer hits the mark his eve doth level at."
