's military career."--_Savannah Daily News._ "It is ably written and skilfully translated."--_Yankee Blade._ _NOTES AND EMENDATIONS OF SHAKESPEARE._ Notes and Emendations to the Text of Shakespeare's Plays, from the Early Manuscript Corrections in a copy of the folio of 1632, in the possession of JOHN PAYNE COLLIER, Esq., F.S.A.
