Synopsis

Excerpt from Australasian Shakespeareana: A Bibliography of Books, Pamphlets, Magazine Articles, &C., That Have Been Printed in Australia and New Zealand, Dealing With Shakespeare and His Works

The making of this bibliography would have been impossible if I had not the assistance of many helpers, to whom I gratefully acknowledge my thanks. I am under special obligations to Mr. Hugh Wright, Miss M. Windeyer and the other members of the staff of the Mitchell Library, Sydney, who have given valuable help in my researches at this Institution, unique in its wonderful col lection of Australians, and which contains many works not to be found else where. Mr. J. R. G. Adams, the General Secretary of the South Australian Public Library, has most kindly furnished me with useful information, and many of the Adelaide entries would not have been obtained by me, except through the help afforded by the Assistant Librarian, Mr. H. J. Keyes, who has added to my original proofs a number of items relating to the University Society. Unfortunately, I have not been able in all cases to index them under the author's name, as the greater part of the book was already in type. They are, however, included in their proper place under Proceedings or Journal. Mr. E. L. Armstrong, of the Melbourne Public Library, and his staff, likewise afforded me every assistance, both personally when inspecting the magnificent collection of that Institution, and also subsequently by replying to my enquiries. The Librarians of the Queensland and West Australian Public Libraries, Messrs. W. E. Hawkins (the President of the Shakespeare Society of Bertram Stevens and George Harris of Sydney, A. H. Turnbull of Wellington, New Zealand, and L. Phillips of Auckland, New Zealand, have also given me assistance, for which I am much indebted.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
