p. 206.

There was a play upon the historical subject of the fall of Cæsar, anterior to the time when Greene wrote his "Orlando Furioso," and to that representation he probably refers.

P. 99.-HURLY BURLY's done.] The word also occurs in the unique poem, recently discovered, called "The pityfull Historie of ij loving Italians," by John Drout, printed in 1570, 8vo.

"Then hurly burly did begin,

great rumours straight were raysde."

This is the poem which was entered on the Stationers' registers in 1570, but of which nothing more was known. Malone, from the title, conjectured erroneously that the story related to "Romeo and Juliet."

P. 104. The WEIRD sisters hand in hand.] Shakespeare as usual obtained his information from Holinshed :-" But afterwards the common opinion was that these women were either the weird sisters, that is (as ye wold say) the goddesses of destinie, or else some nymphes or feiries."

P. 193.-and we heard him broach them some years before the Lectures Ueber Dramatische Kunst und Litteratur were published] It is fit to add, that Goethe, in his "Wilhelm Meister," had promulgated the leading notions of Schlegel, on the character of Hamlet, many years earlier.

P. 211.-he wore his beaver up.] The Rev. Mr. Goodchild refers us to a passage in the Diary of Archbishop Laud, (quoted in Wood's Athenæ by Bliss, vol. ii. p. 433) by which it seems that he meant by "wearing the beaver up," that the face was covered by it. This is not quite clear, but the fact may be, that the beaver was sometimes made to rise from below, and sometimes to fall from above, for the protection of the face; and hence "he wore his beaver up" might mean that his countenance was not exposed. Such, however, is clearly not the meaning of Shakespeare here.

P. 457.-Diminish'd to her coCK.] As is stated in the note, "cock" was often used in old writers for cock-boat: one of the earliest of these is John Drout, in his "Pityfull Historie of ij loving Italians," 1570, 8vo,

"Bicause that surging seas did rise,

and tooke them to their cock."

P. 460.-To say "ay" and "no" to everything said! "Ay" and "no" too was no good divinity.] Mr. F. A. Twiss has favoured us with a MS. note by his father upon this passage, which did not reach us in time to be noticed in the proper place, but which we insert here, principally on account of the close parallel it supplies.

"Both the syntax and the sense are here vicious. A slight change in the punctuation, by joining the two sentences, will restore both. I read thus: To say 'ay' and 'no' to everything I said 'ay' and 'no' to was no good divinity." So Terence, Eun. Act ii. sc. 2. 1. 20, Quidquid dicunt laudo; id rursum si negant, laudo id quoque: negat quis, nego; ait, aio.”

We do not adopt this ingenious reading, merely because it seems to us that the mark of admiration cures the defect, and still keeps the sentences divided, as in the old copies: the word "too" is also there spelt as we spell it.

P. 518.-Correct note 3 by omitting the marks of quotation between which the word "we" is erroneously included.

VOL. VIII.

P. 127.—Sirrah, Iras, go] It is not to be supposed that this practice of applying "sirrah" and "sir" to women, was at all peculiar to Shakespeare as a dramatist. Beaumont and Fletcher not unfrequently do the same. See Dyce's Edit. vol. iii. p. 183, &c.

P. 242.-Note 6 requires qualification, for in "Skialetheia," 1598, (and perhaps elsewhere) we meet with "fangled" without new before it:

"It is Cornelius, that brave gallant youth,

Who is new printed to this fangled age." Sign. B 4.

P. 253.—yea, and she herself] The full-point has accidentally dropped out at the end of this line.

P. 266. the original title-page, stating it to have been "written by William Shakespeare," was cancelled, no doubt, at the instance of the author to whom it was falsely imputed.] See additional note to Vol. i. p. clxxxix., where the editor has seen reason to correct this opinion.

P. 322. Even on my YEARNING time] The reading of the folio, "eaning time," seems right, from the Angl. Sax. eanian, parturire. See Way's Promptorium, printed for the Camden Society, p. 140.

P. 344.-Come now, your one thing?] The mark of interrogation has accidentally dropped out at the end of this question.

P. 370.-The date of 1604 is erroneously given to "Salmasis and Hermaphroditus," imputed, probably falsely, to Beaumont: it was first printed in 1602. The error is also corrected in Vol. i. p. cxvi.

P. 462.-And when the judge is ROB'D the prisoner dies] In this line for "rob'd" read robb'd.

P. 473.—Still at the early age of eighteen or nineteen, which the earl reached in 1609] There is an evident error here, inasmuch as the Earl of Southampton was thirty-six in 1609: having been born in 1573, he was twenty-five when Meres published his Palladis Tamia in 1598.

P. 487.-in TABLE of my heart] So in "Skialetheia," by Edward Guilpin, 1598.

"Consider what a rough worme-eaten table

By well-mix'd colours is made saleable." Sign. C. 6.

P. 514.-Or me, to whom gav'st it, else mistaking] The pronoun thou has accidentally dropped out after "whom" in this line.

P. 553.—All vows and consecrations giving place] The conjunction and has by an error been repeated in this line.
