The editor combines with the patience and accuracy of the textual scholar an industry which has overlooked nothing of value that has been written about Shakespeare by the best German and French, as well as English, commentators and critics; and what is of no less moment, he possesses in himself a rare delicacy of literary appreciation and breadth of judgment, disciplined by familiarity with all that is best in the literature of antiquity, as well as of modern times, which he brings to bear on his notes with great effect.”—Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.
