Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet Q 1 differs so considerably, and in so many minute details, from the received text, that the variations can not be rightly exhibited in notes; it must be read in its entirety, and happily it is easily accessible in the facsimile by Praetorius, in Mommsen's reprint, in the Caiizorielge Shakespeare, in Furness, and (with most advantage for the student) in the New Shakspere Society's reprint of Parallel Texts of t/ze First Two Quartos, admirably edited by Mr. Daniel. Such readings as have been adopted from Q I into the text of modern editors have a special claim to attention; these I have, with few exceptions, recorded, and have added in notes and in Appendix I. Several lines and passages differing from the received text in a way which can hardly be accounted for by errors of the printer or reporter. In these, or in some of these, we probably find work of Shakespeare discarded in his revision of the play.
