Grant White's edition (Boston, 1872, text, like that of the present edition, follows the First Folio); Delius's Shakespeare's Werke (English text, German notes); Furness's Variorum Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, published; single plays in Clarendon Press edition, and in the American editions of Hudson (Boston), and Rolfe (New York).

LEXICONS, &C.-Schmidt's Shakespeare Lexicon (invaluable); Mrs. Cowden Clarke's Concordance to the Plays; Mrs. Furness's Concordance to the Poems; Dyce's Glossary (last volume of his edition of Shakespeare): Nares' Glossary. GRAMMAR, VERSIFICATION, &C.-Abbott's Shakesperian Grammar; W. Sidney Walker's Criticisms on Shakespeare, and Shakespeare's Versification; Bathurst's Changes in Shakespeare's Versification; Ellis's Early English Pronunciation, with special reference to Chaucer and Shakespeare, Part III.

COMMENTARIES.-Gervinus's Commentaries (full and laborious); Dowden's Shakspere; his Mind and Art, (New York: Harper & Bros.), attempts to trace the growth of Shakespeare's genius and character through his works, studied chronologically; Hudson's Shakespeare; his Life, Art, and Characters, criticises twenty-five of the chief plays; Hudson's Harvard Shakespeare (Boston, Ginn and Heath); Furnivall's Introduction to the Leopold Shakespeare; Coleridge's Shakspeare Notes; Mrs. Jameson's Characteristics of Women, on Shakespeare's female characters; Hazlitt's Characters in Shakespeare's Plays; Kreyssig's Vorlesungen über Shakespeare, and his smaller Shakespeare-Fragen (the best German literary criticism on Shakespeare is that of Kreyssig); Ulrici's Shakespeare's Dramatische Kunst is highly esteemed in Germany and has been translated (Bohn's Library); but Ulrici reads ideas сххі

and philosophy of his own into Shakespeare. Hertzberg's prefaces to some plays in the German Shakspere Society's edition of Schlegel and Tieck's translation of Shakespeare are valuable with reference to characteristics of versification. The same Society has published twelve annual volumes (Jahrbücher) containing many articles of interest. Fleay's Shakespeare Manual may be found useful, if read with care to distinguish the writer's theories from ascertained facts. The New Shakespeare Society has published Transactions containing papers of value, reprints of early quartos, and Elizabethan works which illustrate Shakespeare. (Publishers for the Society, Trübner and Co., London.)
