Besides writing a modest prefatory life, Mr Van Laun has prefixed to each play an Introduction containing all necessary information respecting its sources and circumstances, and has added to each an appendix of peculiar interest. These appendices contain full extracts from the plays in which English playwrights have done themselves the honour to 'convey' Molière's good things. The portrait of Molière is extremely fine."-Academy. "Not only the best translation in existence, but the best to be hoped.

"It is then an eminent service to Shakespearian literature which Mr William Paterson renders when he issues an edition of the poet's works which is an exact reprint of the famous folio. In this case we have not a facsimile reproducing the size, shape, and every detail or defect of the original, but a handsome edition in eight octavo volumes, with the best paper and the most delicate of typography, presenting an exact transcript of the folio, with the spelling and the metrical dispositions of the original, and with all the minutia of italics, parenthesis, and the like, with which a text of that period abounds. We may almost fancy we are nearer to the poet in intelligence and sympathy when we have his words, as he or his companions set them down. We need only remark, in conclusion, that the work is illustrated throughout with etchings of great finish and delicacy, which for the most part indicate a real Shakespearian sentiment."-Times.
