I'IIEFAGE OF TIIE EDITOII.

The circutnstances» under which the interesting tract
contained in this repri,t bas corne to iight9 are
as follows. 1 had ah'eady some years ago received in-
telligence that a few old Eglish books of Shakespeare's
time were in the public library of Zurich. Dt'. J.
Horner» the Chier Librat'ian of the "Stadtbibliothek"»
had the kindness to transmit them successively to
me: amongst then 1 found also the no,el of
George Wilkins and perceiving it to be ider, tical with
that mentioned by Mr. Collier in his Shakespeare
Vol. VIII. p. œeG72fig.» and struck with a great many
passages of surprising beauty9 besides lhe line narrative
style of the whole» I had a nind to republish it. But
before I set to work9 1 applied to ny most honoured
ff'tend Blr. Collier to tell me whether it had been
ah'eady reprinted or hot" for9 manv bools being only
printed for pt'ivate circulation» a foreigner» although
attentive to every thing Shakespearean at home and
abroad» may easily be mistaken as to a novelty of
the ki,d. 1Mr. Collier was kind enough fo inform
me that there was only one perfect copy of it i, Eng-
land» and that in the possession of a gentleman» who was

PREFACE. Vil

The conformity of the novel wilh the play being
sometines aimost literal, ma,y other instances might
be brought forward of new attd very plausible read-
ings (e. g. to read III 2. "from Tyre" istead of
"for Tyre'" Coli. Sh. VIII» 311» 23 Vili« 6» 20. and
46» 11.) of conjectures SUlpOl'ted (e. g. ib. III» 3.
Coll. Vill. p. 321. hot. 5. Wilk. 52» 34. to read un-
cissar'd and hair instead of unsisterd and heir)
or confitte(l. But it is hot ont business here to an-
/icil)ate the observations of fiture editors of "Pet'i-
cics"5 we wish otdy to direct the altcntiot of out
Shalçespeareans to this curious novel and to leae
it to abler hands to make tkdl use of it.
In Fact the whole seems to bave been worked
up bo/h from Shakespeare's play attd the noel of
AI)ollonius Tyrius as it was translated by Laxrence
Twine» which» together with Gower's version From
G()lFridus Viterbiensis is known to have been the
source of Shakespeare» and was as Stlch rei)rinted
bv 5Ir. Collier in his "Shal, espeare's Library" Vol. 1.
p. IS3--257. On a carefid cotnparison it will al,l,ear »
that llle coincidences l)etween Twine and Wilkins
are Ioo numerous and too literai to be ascribed to
tnere chance. The very litle and head-line of out
novel was /aken from Twine, who inscribed it: The
Pattcrne of the painefull zld,«enh«res; only Will, ins
had "A Patterne etc. but» by inadvertency he seems
fo have left "'Thc'" in lhe fit'st head-line (p. 12). Auy
direct del)endance of 'iil, ins on Gower is hot
al»parent.
On the other hand» we ntust confess» that out

VIII TIIE EDITOIUS

novel is not only well written» and» for lhe easy flow
of llle narrative tastes of Herodolean sweetness (as
a friend of mine judiciously observed) but that it
bas also some passages which by lheir force of argu-
ment, bv heir descripive vivacity or felicity of imagery
a,d expression seem vastly superior to lhe powers of
any George Wilkins and are neverlheless» sought i, vain
in olher sources or in lhe Drama such as we possess it.
It mtst not however be overlooked: lhat Wilkins
was a poct: and lhat we mav suppose him lo have

him: tilat he was "an attthor lhat liv'd in lhe reign

Of 'The Miseries" we agree with 5Ir. Rapp  that the
style strongly rivais ShaKespeare and that we are every-
where reminded of the ludicrous scenes in Henry IV. As to
the tract last mentioned (which 1 have hot seen) it
"is written in an ambitious st)l% and the descrip-
tions are often striking» but there is nothing but the
similarity oF the naine to connect it with The Miseries
of lnforced Marriage." To the uncommon rarity of
"The Painfill Aduentures of Pericles" it must be ascrib-
ed» that the attthor's naine» as connected with Shake-
speare's Pericle% seems to have remained «nknown hi-
therto. Being one of the minor dramatists of the rime he
was most l)robably enployed by a booKseller to adapt

the Dedication "to the right worshipfid and most

INTRODUCTION.

XXIX

"lt is now ! believe» g(nerally admitted that»
v«he a pla.y was unusually popular, it was the habit
of certain booksellers» in the rime of Shakespeare» to
einploy shorthand wriers {o {ake down in the the-
atre» as much of the dialogue as the.+ couhl and fo
publish the transcribed noes as the play i{self. Such»
we may be sure» was the case with "Hamlet" and
"Romeo and Juliet," to which the excellent letter of
ProE Mommsen» it the lhenacmn of February 7 se-
para[ely api»lies. Whv {he sane course was hot pur-
sued in the case o "Pericles" does hot appear.
Perhaps in 1607 or lfi0S the trick was becoming
somewhat stale» and the bookseller lhought that he
could make a better thing of a publication in a nar-
rative rotin» but distinctly stated on the title-page to
be derived ff'oto a play then daily represented with
great applause. Hence the tract 1 atn now directing
attention to» which is called» and I quote the terres
literally» "The painfltll Adventures of Pericles Price
of T-re. Being tle true History of the Play of Pe-
ric]es» at it was lately presented by the worthy and
ancient Poet John Gower. At London. Printed bv
T. P. for Nat. Butter. 160S." It is in quart% and
consists of forty leaves hcluding the title-page iu
the cenlre of which there is a woodcut of John Gower
with a staff in one hand and a bunch o ba)s in
the other5 while belote him upon a table lies a
book» which we may suppose to be a copy of his
"Confessio Amantis" containing as is well known
a version of the story oç "Pericles" u,der the naine
of Apollonius oç Tyre. His dress» as rel»resented in the

woodcut, merits notice inasmuch as it is i1 ail pro-
bal)ility such as tbe actor wore v«ho played the part
of Gowe' and who spoke the Prologue ami inte'h»-

so't of gow» very plain» openig in fl'ot» and reach-
ing iust below the knee. in my fifly copies of he
small publication relai)g to Ibis subiect  1 gave a
fic-simile of tbis itte'estiug (h'ama/ic relic.
"Now to sl)eak a iittle more particularly of the
cotttetts of Ihis litet'ary rarity. It lwofesses, as we
have seen by the /i/le-page, to give the "history of

when "by the King's 51ajesties Players it was excel-
lently presented." The King's 51ajesty's Players of
course cosisted of the company to which Shakespeare
had been always attached which performed in the
summer at the Globe on Ihe Banksid% and in the
winter at tbe Blackfi'iars.

"I ara anxious in xvhat follows» and with as much
brevity as possible» to establish two points:- !» That
the novel befi»re us very tnuch adopls lhe language
of ihe play 5 2» That it ot unh'equetlv sutTlies por-
tions of the play» as it was acted in lfi07 or 160S+
which have not corne down to ils in attv of the print-
ed copies o Percles. The last is infiitely the
mot'e importattt» because we may Ihereby recover»
i»'o tatdo, a lost portion of the lalguage of Shake-
speat'e. 1 proceed to prove9 in the tirst llace» lhat
the novel ad the play are» in some sort» identical.
"In lhe novel» xvhen Pericles, undeterred by Ihe
waring of Antiochus» insists upon attempting Ihe so-
lution of the enigma» it is said 
• "But Periclcs, armed with lhese noble armours, Failhfulness
and I',ourage, and making himsclf fit for de'a/h, if dealh proved
fit for him, r3,1ied , that he was corne now to mcet death willingly."
In the play» Pericles relis Antiochus» 
"Like a b«,ld champit, n I assume lhe lists,
Nor ask adice of any olher lhought,
But failhftthless and courage."  (Act 1, sc. 1.)
"The following is lhe account Pericles gives of hiln-
self- in the third pet'son- in the novel"
"A gcnlleman of Tyrc, his naine Pericles, his educai«n
been in arts and arms, who, lotking for advenlm'es in lhe wtr]d,
was, by lhe rough and tmconslant seas, lnOSl unforlunalely be-
reft both of ships and meg, and, after shil»wreck, lhrown upon
that short."
How does this passage appear in the play? It ruas
thus in Shakespeare's verse- 
"A gentleman of Tvre (my nam • Pericl«s.

"Do you kuov this house Io bc a place of such resort, and
will you corne inlo it? 1 hcar say, you are of honourable parts,

This is ail she is ruade to utter in the play ai this

with me» as regards the preceding extracts» will be
able to gratify themselves to the fidl. I have here

1 shouhl have been hal)l»y to have said a great

expected from me bv mv acconplished friend
the Editor of the present Reprint» so well known in
Germany for his intima[e and critical acquaintanc(
with English dramatic literature, lu the ensuing tract
we have distinct evi(iettce that Wilkins attended the
public performance of Shakespeare's "Pericles'" for
the purpose of taking notes of the drama as it was
delivered ri'oto the mouths of the Actors; and being
himself a poet of reputation and genius he afterwards
put his nmmoranda into a narrative which was publish-
ed by one of the most celebrated booksellers of the day.
Itis this novel so compounded and COml>ose(i  that
is now» after the lapse of nearly two centuries and
a half most accuratelv reprinted; and it is my firm
conviction that it snpplies many passages» written
by Shakespeare and recited bv the performers» which
were garbled mangled» or omitted in the printed
