Excerpt from Studies on the d104 of Shakespeare: With Numerous Emendations, and Appendices The expression on our title page d104 of Shakespeare is at best a vague and often a very misleading one. Who can say truly where or what it is? Though the material now-a-days for such a purpose is more acces sible than ever. The time may come when the English speaking populations of the world will have in their hands such a text as will satisfy every reasonable de mand, admitting only as curiosities some of the most glaring errors which the original copies present, and leaving to the intelligent reader the choice of pondering over these if he has a mind, or passing them by undisturbed. One expression in the Preface to the first volume of the Cambridge Shakespeare came home to me with a start, for which I was hardly prepared, when I read of the intention of the editors in their work to give the reader in a compact form a complete view of the existing materials out of which the text has been constructed, or may be emended And truly their labour has not been misapplied.
