the highest veneration. And it may bo well believed, as there was besides « kineman and
descendant of the family, who was then a celebrated actor among them, this opportunity made
them greedily inquisitive into every litle cireumstance, more especially in his dramatick character,
which his brother could relate of him. But he, it seems, was so stricken in years, and possibly hia
memory #0 weakened with infirmities, which might make him the easier pass for a man of weak
Intellect, that he could give them but little light into their enquiries; and all that could be reool-
lected from him of his brother Will in that station was the faint, general, and almost lot ideas he
had of having once acon him ‘act a part in one of his own comedies, wherein, being to personate

Cua. There’s no news at the court, sir, but the
old news: that is, the old duke is banished by his
ounger brother the new duke; and three or four
[ering lords. havo put themscives into voluntary
exile with him, whoso lands and revenues enrich
tho new duke ; therefore he gives them good leave
to wander.
xx. Can you tell if Rosalind, the duke's
daughter, be Banished with her father ?
Cua. 0, no; for the duke's daughter, her
cousin, 60 loves her,—being ever from their cradles
bred together,—that she® would have followed her
‘exile, or have died to stay behind her. She is at
the court, and no less beloved of her uncle than
his own daughter; and never two Indies loved as
they do.

Cua. They say, he is already in tho forest of
Arden, and a many merry men with him; and
there they live like the old Robin Hood of Eng-
and: they say many young gentlemen flock to
hhim every day, and fleet the timo carelessly, as
they did in the golden world.
nt. What,—you wrestle to-morrow before the
new duke?
Cua. Marry, do I, sir; and came to acquaint
you with a matter. I am given, sir, secretly to
understand that your younger brother, Orlando,
hath a disposition to come in disguised against mo
to try a fall. To-morrow, sir, I wrestle for my
credit; and he that escapes me without some
broken limb shall acquit him well. Your brother
is but young and tender; and, for your love, I
would be loth to foil him, as T must, for my own
hhonour, if he come in: therefore, out of my love
to you, I came hither to acquaint you withal ; that
either you might stay him from his intendment, or
brook such disgrace well as he shall run into ; in
that it is a thing of his own search, and altogether
‘against my will.

bby Professor Mommsen) which was composed from notes taken during the performance of the
play and extracts from tho English version of « Apollonius Tyrius.”
Tho original source of Pericles is tho fabulous story of Kive Avottowrus or Trax, «
romance of great antiquity and of such renown, that, of the Latin version alone,—Husroata
Avoutoxm Tram, first edited about 1470,—Professor Haupt, of Berlin University, declares
he is acquainted with one hundred MSS, Tho author of the play, however, appears to
hhave been immediately indebted for his fable and incidents to that portion of Gowers
Confessio Amantis, which treats of King Appolin of Tyre, and to the English translation
of the Historia Apollonii entitled The Patterne of painefull Adventures: containing the
most excellent, pleasant, and variable Historie of the strange accidents that befell unto Prince
Apollonius, the Lady Lucina his wife, and Tharsia his daughter Wherein the uncertainty
of this world and the fickle state of man's life are lively desoribed. Gathered into English
by Lawrence Twine, Gentleman,—fret printed in 1576.

THE THIRD PART OF
KING HENRY THE SIXTH.
‘Tis tragedy was first printed in its present form, in the folio of 1623. It is an enlarged
and improved version by Shakespeare, of “The True Tragedie of Richard, Duke of Yorke,”
de, before adverted to, as that, we conceive, was an alteration and improvement by him of an
cearlior drama, the work of one or more of his contemporaries.
‘From the circumstance of Robert Greene's paraphrasing a line of “The True Tragedy :”—
+10, figure hart, wrapt in a woman's hide ;*
when reflecting on Shakespeare, in his “ Groatsworth of Wit,” 1592,* and of some
resemblances between passages in his acknowledged dramas and passages in “The True
Tragedy,” it may be inferred that he hed some share in the production of the piece or pieces,
on which were based “ The First Part of the Contention,” and “The True Tragedie of Richard,
Duke of Yorke.” This deduction is strengthened by a passage in “Greene's Funeralls, By
R. B. Gent.” 4to, Lond, 1594, a small tract of twelve leaves preserved in the Bodleian
Library :—
“Groene ia the pleasing Obieot of an elo;
Greene pleasde the cies of all that lookt upon him,
Greene is the ground of everie Paintar’s die ;

THREE PARTS OF KING HENRY VI.
‘“ SuaxsPeans’s choioe fell first on this poriod of English history, so full of misory and horrors of every
‘kind, bocause the pathetio is naturally more suitable than the characteristic to a young poet's mind.
‘Wo do not ob find hore the whole maturity of his genins, yet certainly ita whole strength. Carcless an
‘we ought to take them ; from soenes where the effect is sufficiently agitating to form the catastrophe of
's loss extensive plan, the poet perpetually hurries us on to catastrophes still more dreadful.
“The First Part contains only the first forming of the parties of the White and Red Rose, under which
‘blooming ensigns such bloody deeds were afterwards perpetrated ; tho varying results of the war in
‘Franco principally fll the stage. Tho wonderful saviour of her country, Joan of Arc, is pourtrayed by
Shakspeare with an Englishman's prejudices : yet ho nt first leaves it doubtful whether she has not in
reality a heavenly mission ; she appears in the pure glory of virgin heroism ; by her supernatural
eloquence (and this circumstance is of the poet's invention) she wins over the Duke of Burgundy to tho
French cause ; afterwards, corrupted by vanity and Inxury, she has recourse to hellish fiends, and comes
tomisernble end. To her is opposed Talbot, s rough iron warrior, who moves us tho more powerfully,
4 in the moment when ho is threatened with inevitable death, all his eare is tenderly directed to eave
his son, who porfarms his first deeds of arms under his eye. After Talbot has in vain sacrificed himself,
‘and the Maid of Orleans has fallen into tho hands of tho English, the Vronch provinces are completely
Jost by an impolitio marriags; and with this the picos ends. ‘The conversation between the aged
‘Mortimer in prison, and Richard Plantagonet, afterwards Duke of York, contains an exposition of the
claims of the latter to the throne: considered oy itself it is a beautiful tragic elegy.
"In the Sécond Part, the evonts more particularly prominent are the murder of the honest Protector,
Gloucester, nnd its consequenoas ; the death of Cardinal Beaufort ; the parting of the Queen from her
favourite Suffolk, and his death by the hands of savage piratos ; then the insurrection of Juck Cade
‘under an assumed name, and at the instigation of the Duke of York. The short scene where Cardinal
Beaufort, who is tormented by his conscience on aocount of the murder of Gloucester, is visited on his
Aeath-bed by Henry V1, is sublime beyond all praiso. Can any other poot be named who has drawn
aside the curtain of eternity at the close of this life with auch overpowering and awful effect? And yot
itis not mere horror with which the mind is filed, but solemn emotion ; a blessing and a curso stand
side by side; tho pious King is an image of the heavenly meroy which, even in the sinner’s last
‘moments, labours to enter into his soul, ‘The adulterous passion of Queen Margaret and Suffolk is
invested with tragical dignity, and all low and ignoble ideas carefully kept out of sight. Without

attempting to gloes over the crime of which both are guilty, without socking to remove our
disapprobation of this criminal love, he still, by the magio force of expression, contrives to excite in us
‘ssyzapathy with their sorrow. In the insurrection of Cade he has delineated the conduct of a popular
demagogue, the fearful Iudicroumness of the anarchical tumult of the people, with such convincing
truth, that one would believe he was an eye-witness of many of the events of our age, which, from
ignorance of history, have been considered as without example.
“The civil war only begins in the Second Part ; in the Third it is unfolded in its full destructive fary.
‘The picture becomes gloomier and gloomier ; and seems at last to be painted rather with blood than
with colours, With horror we behold fury giving birth to fury, vengeance to vengeance, and see thst
‘when all the bonds of human society are violently torn asunder, even noble matron became hardened to
cruelty. ‘The most bitter contempt is the portion of the unfortunate ; no ono affords to his enemy that
‘pity which he will himself shortly stand in need of. With all, party is family, country, and religion,
‘the only spring of action. As York, whose ambition is coupled with noble qualities, prematurely
porishos, the object of the whole contest is now either to support an imbecile king, or to place on the
throne a luxurious monarch, who shortens the dear-bought possession by the gratification of an insatiable
voluptuousness. For this the celebrated and magnanimous Warwick spends his chivalrous life ; Clifford
revenges the death of his father with blood-thirsty filial love; and Richard, for the alevation of his
brother, practises thoso dark deeds by which ho is soon after to pave the way to his own greatness, In
the midst of the general misery, of which he has been tho innocent cause, King Henry appears like the
powerloas image of a saint, in whose wonder-working influonce no man any longer believes : he can but
sigh and woop over the enormities which he witnesses. In his simplicity, however, the gift of prophecy
{0 lont to this pious king: in the moment of his death, at the close of this great tragedy, he prophesies a
still more dreadful tragedy with which futurity is pregnant, as much distinguished for the poisonous
wiles of cold-blooded wickedness as the former for deeds of savage fury.”—Sce.axt,

TIMON OF ATHENS.
Fs Nes
“Dare Life of Tymon of Athens” appeared first in the folio of 1628, At what period it was
‘written we haye no evidence, though Malone assigns it to the year 1610. ‘The story, originally
devived from Lucian, was « popular one in Shakespeare's time, and must have been known to him
from its forming the subject of a novel in Paynter's “Palace of Pleasure,” and from the account
of Timon given in North's translation of Plutarch, ‘The immediate archetype of the play,
Ihowover, wasyprobably some old and now lost drama, remodelled and partially re-written by our
‘author, bat of which ho permitted much of the rude material to remain, with seareely any
alteration,
Tt is upon this theorysalone wo find it pouible to reconcile the discordanee between the defective
plan, and the faultless execution of particular parts,—betwoen the poverty and negligence
observable in some seenes, and tho grandour and consummate finish displayed in othere, Tho
basis of Shakespeare's “Timon” was long supposed to be an anonymous piece, the manuscript of
‘which was in the possession of Mr. Strutt, and is now tho property of Mr, Dyce. Bat this
‘manuscript was printed, in 1842, for the Shakespeare Society ; and although it is found to have
one charactor, Laches, who is a coarse counterpart to the faithful stowand, Flavius, and two or
three incidents, particularly that of the mock banquot, where the misanthrope regales bis
parasites with stones, puinted to look like artichokes, which correspond in some measure with
transactions in the piece before us, there is not the slightest reason for believing Shakespeare
‘ever saw it. ‘These resemblances are no doubt merely owing to both plays being founded on a
‘common origin; for the subject was evidently familiar to the stage long before we ean suppose
Shakespeare to have produced his version, In Guilpin's Collection of Epigrams and Satires,
called “ Skialetheia,”” 1598, wo have in Epigram §2:—
“Like bute-man Timon in his coll he sits,"
which, as Me, Collicr says, apparently points to some scene wherein ‘Timon hud boen represented
‘and he is again mentioned, in a way to show that his peculianties were well understood, in the
ploy of Jack Drum's Eutertainment,” printed in 1601:—s* But if all the brewers? jader in
the town ean drag me from the love oy myself, they shall do more than der the seven wise wen
of Greece onild. Come, come ; now I'll be as sociable as Timon of Athens.”

KING RICHARD THE THIRD.
‘Tim carliest known copy of thia popular tragedy is a quarto published in 1507, entitled, —
“The Tragedy of King Richard the Third. Containing, His treacherous Plots against his
brother Clarence: the pittiefull murthor of his innocent nophowes: His tyrannicall ysurpation :
with the whole courso of his detested life, and most deseruod death, As it hath beone lately
acted hy the Right honourable the Lord Chamberluine, hia seruants. At London, Printed by
Valentine Sims, for Andrew Wise, dwelling in Ponlos Chareh-yard, at the sigue of the Angell,
1597.” Tn 1598, another edition appeared beating the some title, and in addition tho author's
name, “William Shako-speare.” ‘Tho next impression, brought out in 1602, professes to be
“Newly augmented ;” this was followed by a fourth in 1605, and a fith in 1613, which was
the last quarto copy prior to tho publication of the folio in 1623. Subsequently, three other
quarto editions, dated respectively 1624, 1629, and 1634, were published, not one of which
however, it is noticcable, contains the passages first found in tho folio, Although an historical
piece on the same subject—* The True Tragedie of Richard the Third : wherein is showne the
death of Bdward the fourth, with the smothering of the ito young Princea in the Tower
with a lamentable ende of Shores wife, an example for all wicked women. And lastly, the
conjunction and ioyning of the two noble houses, Lancaster and Yorke, As it was playd by the
Queenes Maicaties Players,’ —vas issued in 1594, there aro no proofs that Shakespeare haa any
obligations to it: his ouly authorities appear to have been the old chroniclers,
‘Malone has remarked that the textual variations between the quarto version of this play and
the folio are mor: numerons than in any other of our author's works. ‘This is true, and the
diversity has proved, and will continue to prove, a source of incalculable trouble and perpetual
dispute to his oditors, sinco, although it is admitted by every one properly qualified to julge,
that a reasonably perftet text can only be formed from the two versions, there will always be a
conflict of opinions regarding some of the readings. Upon the whole, we prefer the quarto text,
though execrably deformed by printing-offce blunders, and can by no means acquieseo in the
decision that those passages found only in the fulio are “additions” made by the poet, subso~
quent to the publication of the early quartos, On the contrary, we believe those very passages
to have been structural portions of the pices, and the real additions to be the taree and vigorous
bits of dialogue peculiar to tho quartos. Is it credible that 20 accomplished a master of stage
‘eraft as Shakespeare, after witnessing tho representation of Richard the Third, would have added
above eighty linos to the longest seeno in this or perhaps any other play? Tait not far more
probable that these lines in Act IV,, those touching the young prince’s train in Act TE., the nine
jin Gloucostex’s mock reply to the Mayor and Buckingham, and some others, formed originally
part of the text and were omitted to accelerate the action, and afford space for the more lively
‘and dramatic substitutions which are met with in the quartos alone? But although in these
and a few other instances the folio copy appears to have been an earlier one than that used
by tho printers of the quartos, it must bo admitted that there aro numerous places in which
the tert of the former has undergone minuto and careful correction, and where, both in rhythm
‘and in languago, it is supotior to tho previous editions.
Malono conjectured that Shakespeare wroto “Richard the Third” in 1603; the received
‘impression at the present day is, that he produced it very shortly before its first publication
in 1597,

‘by no means satisfuctory to our moral feelings, as Lessing, when speaking of a German play on the same

invention he opens a prospeot into tho othor world, and shows us Richard in his last momenta already
bbranded with tho stamp of reprobation. Wo sco Richard and Richmond in the night before the battle

“From a delineation like this, Milton must have caught many of tho most striking features of hin
Satanic portrait. ‘The same unfon of unmitigated depravity and consummate intellectual enorgy
characterises both, and renders what would otherwiso be loathsome and disgusting, an object of
sublimity and shuddering admiration,
“Richard, stript as ho is of all the softer foclings, and all the common chaities of humanity,
possessed of

and loaded with every dangorous and dreadful vioo, would, were it not for his unconquerable powers of

Aisposition, cruel, bloody, und remorseless in all his deeds, he displays such an extraordinary share of
cool and determined courage, such alncrity and buoyancy of spirit, such constant self-possession, such
fan intuitive intimaey with the workings of the human heart, and such matchless skill in rendering
‘them subservient to his viows, as so fur to subdue our detestation and abhorrence of his villany, that
‘we at length contemplate this fiend in human shape with & mingled sensation of intense curiosity and
grateful terror.
“The task, however, which Shakspeare undertook was, in one instance, more arduous than that which
Milton subsequently attempted; for, in addition to the hateful constitution of Richard's moral
‘charactor, he had to contend also against the prejudices arising from personal deformity, from 1 figure

“Ono of the most prominent and detestable vives, indeed, in Richard's charncter, his hypocrisy,

‘Tas play was firt printed in the folio of 1628, and is supposed, upon tho slight foundation
of two or three doubtful allosions to contemporary events, to have been written in 1603. ‘The
fact of its having been played before the Court on St. Stephen's night, December 26, 1604,

October, 1604, to the end of the same month, 1605 :—
“By his Mate plalers, Ou St. Stivens Night in the Hall, A Play called Mosur for Mesur”—
proves it to have been written before that date, and this really is all that is known with eortainty
respecting the period of its production, ‘The plot appears to bave been taken from Whetstone’s

CRITICAL OPINIONS
on
MEASURE FOR MEASURE
“In ‘Measure for Measure! Shakspeare was compelled, by the nature of the subject, to make his
poetry more familiar with criminal justice than is usual with him. All kinds of procoedings connected
with the subject, all sorts of active or passive persons, pass in review before us: the hypocritical Lord
Deputy, the compassionate Provost, and the hard-hearted Hangman ; a young man of quslity who is to
suffer for the seduction of his mistress before marriage, loose wrotches brought in by the police, nay,
even a hardened criminal, whom even the preparations for his execution cannot awaken out of his
callousness, But yot, notwithstanding this agitating trathfulness, how tender and mild is the pervading
tone of the picture! ‘The piece takes improperly its name from punishment ; the true significance of
‘tho whole is the triumph of mercy over strict justico; no man being himself so free from errors as to
be entitled to doal it out to his equal. ‘The most beautiful embellishment of the composition ia the
character of Isabella, who, on tho point of taking the veil, is yet prevailed upon by sisterly affection to
tread again the perplexing ways of the world, while, amid the general oorruption, the heavenly purity of
hor mind is not evon stained with one unholy thought : in the humble robes of the novice she is a very
‘angel of light, When the cold and stern Angelo, heretofore of unblemished repatation, whom the
Duke has commissioned, during his pretended absence, to restrain, by o rigid administration of the
laws, the excesses of dissolute immorality, is oven himself tompted by the virgin charms of Isabella,
supplicating for the pardon of her brother Claudio, condemned to death for a youthful indiscretion ;
when at first, in timid and obscure language, be insinuates, but at last impudently avouchos his roadi-
1ness to grant Claudio's life to the sacrifice of her honour ; when Isabella repulses bis offer with a noble
scorn; in her account of the interview to her brother, when the latter at first applauds her conduct, but
‘at length, overcome by the fear of death, strives to persuade her to consent to dishonour ;—in these
‘masterly scenes, Shakspeare has sounded the depths of the human heart. ‘Tho interest here reposea
altogether on tho represented action ; curiosity contributes nothing to our delight, for the Duke, in the
disguise of a Monk, is always present to watch over his dangerous representative, and to avert every
‘evil which could possibly be apprehended; we lock to him with confidence for « happy result. The
‘Duke acts the part of the Monk naturally, even to deception ; he unites in hia person the wisdom of the
priest and the prince, Only in his wisdom he is too fond of round-about ways; his vanity is flattered.
‘with acting invisibly like an earthly providence; ho takes more pleasure in overhearing his subjects
‘than governing them in the customary way of princes, As he ultimately extends a fre pardon to all
the guilty, we do not see how his original purpose, in committing the execution of the laws to other
‘hands, of restoring their strictness, has in any wiso been accomplished, ‘The poet might Nave had this
irony in viow, that of the numberless slanders of the Duke, told him by the petulant Lucio, in ignorance

CYMBELINE
“Tue Tragedie of Cymbeline” is one of the seventeen plays, the earliest known edition
of which is the folio of 1623. When produced, or when first acted, we have, as usual,
no means of determining; but Malone is perhaps not far wrong in supposing it was written
in 1609, as about that period there is good reason for believing Shakespeare wrote “Tho
Tempest,” and ‘Tho Winter’s Tale:” and the marked similarity in the versifcation of
those plays and that of Cymbeline, indicates that the threo were composed at no distant
dato from each other.
‘Tho main incident of the plot—tho wager on tho chastity of the hervine—appears to
have been taken from a story in Boccaccio (Day 2, Nov. 9), of which an abstract will be
found in the “ Illustrative Comments.” ‘This novel was a favourite evidently, for it has
been translated and paraphrased many times. One modification of it occurs in the amusing
collection of stories called, “ Westward for Smelts, or The Water-mans fare of mad merry
‘Western wenches,” ée., which Steevens and Malone assort was printed in 1603. If they
fare correct, this réchaufé of Boceaccio's fable may have contributed to the composition ot
“Qymbeline,” but no edition of it earlier than 1620, and of that only one copy, is now
known to exist. The events in this story are laid in England during the reigns of Henry
VI. and Edward IV., and the villain of it, instead of being conveyed to tho lady’s chamber
in a chest (as described in the Italian and French versions), hides himself beneath her
bed.
‘The historical facts and allusions in “ Cymbeline” were seemingly derived from Holinshed ;
but the important and delightful episode that introduces us to Belarius and the stolen princes,
‘we may conclude was Shakespeare's own invention ; unless the germ of it were found in some
older play upon which the present was founded.

aro somewhat ssorificed, but this could not be otherwise: the false and wicked Queen is merely an
instrument of the plot ; ahe and her stupid son Cloten (the only comic part in the piece), whose rude
‘arrogance ia portrayed with much humour, are, before the conclusion, got rid of by merited punishment,
‘As for the heroical part of the fable,—the war between the Romans and Britons, which brings on the
dézouenent, the post in the extent of his plan had go little room to spare, that he merely endeavours to
represent it asa mute procession. But to the last scene, where all the numerous threads of the knot
‘aro untied, ho has again given its full development, that he might collect together into one focus the
‘scattered impressions of the whole. example and many others are a sufficient refutation of
Tohnson's assertion, that Shakspeare usually hurries over the conclusion of his pieces. Rather doce
hho, from a desire to satisfy the fectings, introduce a great deel which, so far as the understanding of the
dénouenent requires, might in a strict sonse be justly spared : our modern spectators are much more
impatient to seo the curtain drop, when thero is nothing more to be determined, than those of his day
could have been.”—Scuzeax.
“This play, if not, in the construction of its fable, one of the most perfect of our author's productions,
is, in point of pootic beauty, of variety and truth of character, and in the display of sentiment and
‘emotion, one of the most lovely and interesting. Nor can we avoid expressing our astonishment at the
sweeping condemnation which Johnson has passed upon it ; charging its fiction with folly, its conduct
with absurdity, its evonta with impossibility ; terming its faults too evident for detection and too grow
for aggravation.
“OF tho enormous injustice of this sentence, nearly every page of Cymbeline wil, to s reader of any
taste or discrimination, bring the most decisive evidence. That it possesses many of the too common
inattentions of Shakspoaro, that it exhibits « frequent violation of costume, and a singular confusion of
nomenclature, cannot be denied ; but these are trifles light as air when contrasted with its merits,
which are of the vory essence of dramatic worth, rich and full in all that breathes of vigour, animation,
‘and intellect, in all that elevates the fancy, and improves the heart, in all that fills the eye with tear,
or agitates the soul with hope and fear.
In possession of excellences vital as these must be deemed, oold and fastidious is the oriticism that,
on acount of irregularities in mere technical detail, would shut its eyes upon their splendour. Nor are
there wanting oritios of equal learning with, and superior taste to Johnson, who have considered what
he has branded with the unqualified charge of ‘confusion of manners,’ as forming, in a certain point of
view, one of the most pleasing recommendations of the piece. It may be also remarked, that, if the
‘unities of time and place be as little observed in this play, as in many others of the eame poet, unity
of character and feeling, the test of genius, and without which the utmost effort of art will ever be
unavailing, is uniformly and happily supported.
“Imogen, the most lovely and perfect of Shakspeare’s female characters, the pattern of connubil ore
‘and chastity, by the delicacy and propriety of her sentiments, by her sonsibility, tenderness, and rexig:
nation, by her patient endurance of persecution from the quarter where she had confidently looked for
endearment and protection, irresistibly seizes upon our affections ; and when compelled to fly from the
paternal roof, from
she in driven to assume, under the name of Fidele, tho disguise of a pago, we follow her footsteps with
the liveliest interest and admiration.
“The scenes which disclose the incidents of her pilgrimage; hor reception at the cave of Belarius; ber
intercourse with er lost brothers, who are ignorant of their birth and rank, her supposed death, funend
rites and resuscitation, are wrought up with a mixture of pathos and romantic wildness peculiarly
