The Rules referred to in the following Notes are the Rules oft unctuation which will be found in Appendix A, and are practically reprinted from my Notes on Measure, forM easure with some slight modification calculated merely to extend their application A complete annotation of this difficult Play should include much that is not comprised in the present Notes I regret that the sale of the preceding numbers of the series has not justified me in giving a fuller presentation of my views In addition to Booth sR eprint and the Reduced Facsimile, I have had the advantage of using Craig sR eprint of the First Folio text of this Flay, with its admirably minute collation of the later Folios.- With that collation before me I cannot avoid the conclusion that theS econd Folio text is not the result of any systematic correction by a comparison with the original manuscript. The First Folio, then, remains the supreme authority and I trust that my Notes how imperfect soever may contribute towards showing that, notwithstanding the depredations of modern editors, it well deserves our confidence, such misprints as there are being of a comparatively trivial nature I am again indebted to theO xford Shakespeare for the linenumbering in my references.- A nd, in conclusion, I would place on record my acknowledgment of the kindness of those few who through good and ill report have encouraged me to continue my task.
