SHAKESPEARE. 



txxajm notice 



RESPECTING 



THE MONOGRAPH EDITION OF SHAKESPEARE IN TWENTY FOLIO VOLUMES, 



EDITED BY 



J. O. HALLIWELL, Esq. F.R.S., F.S.A. 



THE ILLUSTRATIONS BY F. W. FAIRHOLT, ESQ., F.S.A. 



Tnr preparations for this Work are in a state of great forwardness, so that it is confidently expected the First Volume, containins the LIFE 

 and tlie TKMPEST, will be ready in March next, and that the remainin? volumes will be completed regularly in consonance with the Original 

 Announcement. All the documents at Stratford-on-Avon, connected with the Biography, have been carefully reeoUated. Jlr. Wheler has kindly 

 permitted fac-similes to be made from the important Shakespeare Manuscripts in his possession ; wliile access to n»w sources of documentary 

 evidenc<! in Warwickshire has resulted in tlie discovery of New and Important Notices of the Poet. MK. FAIRIIOIjT iias completed an engraving 

 of the ilonumental Effigy on a larger scale than has hitherto been attempted, and all local artistical sources have been once more explored by that 

 artist. 



The original limit of one hundred and fifty copies will be most carefully observed, and all the engravings made for the work will be destroyed. 

 The fulfilment of both these conditions will be attested by the autographs of the printers and artists attached to each copy. By these me ms, the 

 lasting commercial value of the work will be retained, and in all probability greatly increased ; but at the same time it is right to state that it is 

 feared' the original estimates of the expenditure will be considerably exceeded. It was suggested to supply the probable deficiency by a graduated 

 subscription, but as, on due deliberation, this method was not thouglit to be in sufficient accordance with the terms of the original prospectus to be 

 fairly adopted towards those who have already applied, the idea has been relinquished as far as regards any copies applied for previously to this 

 notice. 



MK. HAT>LI\VELIi would earnestly request the communication of any information, especially respecting the early quartos of Sliakespeare, 

 that can be obtained ; and in cases where a purchase is allowable, he is willing to give a liberal price for any editions of literary importance. For 

 example, he offers 100/. for a perfect copy of the First Edition (LWl) of Titus An.ironicus, a copy of which was certainly in existence during the last 

 century, and is probably still preserved. Any communications on such subjects, addressed to J. O. HALLIWELL, ESQ., Avenue Lodge, Brixtou 

 Hill, Surrey, would be carefully acknowledged.

GUTTA PERCHA TUBING. 

 —Many inquiries having been made as 

 to the durability of this tubing, the Gutta 

 Percha Companv have pleasure in drawing 

 attention to the following letter, received from 

 Mr. C. Hacker, Surveyor to the Duke of Bed- 

 ford :- 



" Office of Works, Wobum Park, 

 Jan 10, 1852. 



" In answer to your inquiries respecting the 

 Gutta Percha Tubing for Pump Suctions, I find 

 that the water has not afiected it in the least, 

 although it will cat lead through in two years ; 

 we have adopted it largely on account of being 

 cheaper than lead, much easier fixed, and a 

 more perfect job. 



" Yours, &c. C. HACKER." 



N.B. The Company's Illustrated Circulars, 

 containing instructions to plumbers for joining 

 tubes, lining tanks, &c., will be forwarded on 

 the receipt of three postage stamps.
