NOTES AND QUERIES. 



379 



hope that Mr. L. Booth's projected reprint in 

 octavo of the Folio of 1623, will be executed with 

 similar fidelity and beauty : an edition of Shak- 

 speare will then be attainable, no less creditable, 

 and I believe remunerative, to the publisher, than 

 valuable in every point of view to all classes of 

 readers. 



The value of Mr. Allen's reprint is much en- 

 hanced by the bibliographical Preface, and list of 

 Hamletiana, prefixed by Mr. Tiinmins, to whom 

 we are also indebted for the careful collation of 

 the present with Mr. Collier's reprints. With 

 regard to the Hamlet Bibliography, . although 

 aware of the difficulty of the task and the imper- 

 fection predicated of its accomplishment, I must 

 confess that I was somewhat disappointed. Find- 

 ing that assistance had been derived from various 

 sources, I set about the comparison of this new 

 bibliography with my own notes, in the expecta- 

 tion that I was about to add greatly to their 

 number and value. So far, however, from this 

 being the case, I found that these enabled me 

 greatly to extend and amplify the former : having 

 done this, it occurred to me that by the publica- 

 tion of these additions in " N. & Q.," those pos- 

 sessors of Mr. Allen's reprint, " whom it may 

 concern," will be enabled to insert them in their 

 respective copies ; and thus, with the addition of 

 any other articles with which they may become 

 acquainted (and of these there will be few, for I 

 am persuaded that the amalgamated list will be 

 found nearly exhaustive), obtain a perfect biblio- 

 graphy of this master- play. Without farther pre- 

 face, I proceed to transcribe my list of additions, 

 disposing them, for facility of reference, in a simi- 

 lar arrangement to that of Mr. Timmins, and be- 

 speaking indulgence for errors, deficiencies, or 

 possible repetitions : — 



English Editions, Commentaries, etc. 



" Hamlet: An Opera, as it is performed in the Queen's 

 Theatre in the Haymarket." London. 8vo. 1712. 



This piece, which is very rare, is founded rather on the 

 old Hiilorie of Hamlet than Shakspeare's tragedy. 



" The Grave-Makers," from Shakspeare's Hamlet. 



This is the 9th piece in the curious collection of drolls 

 and farces, such as were presented in old times by stroll- 

 ers at Bartholomew and other fairs, edited by the book- 

 seller, Francis Kirkman, and entitled The Wits, or Sport 

 upon Sport, 8vo., 1662. A second edition appeared in 

 1073, with frontispiece. See Baker and Jones's Biog. 

 Dram., vol. iii. p. 414. 



" Short Criticism on the Performance of Hamlet by J. 

 P. Kemble." 8vo. 1789. 



" Hamlet Travestie ; in Three Acts, with burlesqued 

 Annotations after the Manner of Dr. Johnson and George 

 Steevens, Esq., and the various Commentators. By John 

 Poole." Small 8vo. London, 1810. 



Later editions, 1811, 1812. This piece has often been 

 produced at the minor theatres, and must be regarded as 

 a very amusing and felicitous performance. 



" Discoveries in Hieroglyphics, and other Antiquities. 

 In progress to which many favourite Compositions are 

 put in a Light now entirely new, and such as rendered 

 them infinitely more amusing as well as more instructive 



to Readers of earlier Times. By Kobert Deverell, Esq." 

 London. 6 vols. 8vo. 1813. 



The 2nd and 3rd vols, only, of this very curious work 

 (previously noticed in " N."& Q.," I" S. ii. 61.), relate 

 to Shakspeare. In these will be found reprints of Ham- 

 let, Lear, Othello, Merchant of Venice, Sfc, copiously 

 illustrated with notes and woodcuts. I do not know if 

 this work has come under the notice of M. Delepierre, 

 but it certainly should not be omitted in the Litterature 

 des Fous. 



" Observations on the Laws of Mortality and Disease, 

 with Illustrations on the Progress of Mania, Melancholia, 

 Craziness, and Demonomania, as displayed in Shakspeare's 

 Characters of Lear, Hamlet, Ophelia, and Edgar. By 

 George Farren." London. 8vo. 1829. 



" A New Burlesque of Hamlet." London. 12mo. 1838. 



■ The Barrow-Diggers ; a Dialogue in Imitation of the 

 Grave-Diggers in Hamlet, with Notes." 4to. 1839. 



Only a limited number printed. It contains many 

 plates of articles found in tumuli in Dorsetshire. 



" Essay on the Tragedy of Hamlet. By P. Macdon- 

 nell." Royal 8vo. 184.3. 



" What does Hamlet mean?" London. 8vo. (?) 



" Facsimile of the Last Page of the First Edition of 

 Hamlet, 1603." 



Only six copies of this were lithographed by Mr. Ash- 

 bee. Two of these (one on India paper) occurred at Mr. 

 Halliwell's Sale, Sotheby & Wilkinson, June, 1859. 



German Editions, Translations, Commentaries, etc. 



" Hamlet, znm Behuf des Hamburger Theaters, iiber- 

 setzt von F. L. Schroder." 8vo. Hamburg, 1778. 



Mr. Timmins notices the "neue rechtmassige Ausgabe " 

 of 1804 of this version. It will also be found in the au- 

 thor's Dramalische Werlie, herausgegehen von E. von Bil- 

 low, eingeleitet von Ludwig Tieck, 8vo., Berlin, 1831.
