English as She is Wrote Showing Curious Ways in which the English Language may be made to Convey Ideas or obscure them.
   New York:

   D. APPLETON AND COMPANY,

   1, 3, AND 5 BOND STREET.

   This edition is being printed with new type, cast expressly for the work, on laid linen paper, and in a form and style which give it peculiar elegance. The text is mainly that of DELIUS, the chief difference consisting in a more sparing use of punctuation than that employed by the well-known German editor. Wherever a variant reading is adopted, some good and recognized SHAKSPEREAN critic has been followed. In no case is a new rendering of the text proposed; nor has it been thought necessary to distract the reader's attention by notes or comments.

   "

    There is, perhaps no edition in which the works of Shakspere can be read in such luxury of type, and quiet distinction of form, as this.
