Romeo and Juliet, first published in 1879, is now thoroughly revised on the same general plan as its predecessors in the new series. While I have omitted most of the notes on textual variations, I have retained a sufficient number to illustrate the curious and significant differences between the first and second quartos. A mong the many new notes are some calling attention to portions of the early draft of the play some of them very bad whichS hakespeare left unchanged when he revised it. The references toD owden in the notes are to his recent and valuable edition of the play, which I did not see until this of mine was on the point of going to the printer. The quotation on page 288 of the Appendix is from hisS hakspere: His Mind and A rt, which, by the way, was reprinted in this country at my suggestion.
