Abbott. A SHAKESPERIAN GRAMMAR : An Attempt to 

 illustrate some of the Differences between Elizabethan and Modern 

 English. By the Rev. E. A. ABBOTT, M.A., Head Master of the 

 City of London School. For the Use of Schools. New and 

 Enlarged Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 6s. 



The object of this work is to furnish students of Shakespeare and 

 Bacon with a short systematic account of some points. of difference 

 between Elizabethan Syntax and our own. The demand for a third 

 edition within a year of the publication of the first, has encouraged 

 the author to endeavour to make the work somewhat more useful, 

 and to render it, as far as possible, a complete book of reference for 

 all difficulties of Shakesperian Syntax or Prosody. For this purpose 

 the whole of Shakespeare has been re-read, and an attempt has been 

 made to include within this edition the explanation of every 

 idiomatic difficulty (where the text is not confessedly corrupt) that 

 comes within the province of a grammar as distinct from a glossary. 

 The great object being to make a useful book of reference for stuitents 

 and for classes in schools, several Plays have been indexed so fully, 

 that with the aid of a glossary and historical notes the references 

 will serve for a complete commentary. ' 1 A critical inquiry, con- 

 ducted with great skill and knowledge, and with all the appliances 

 of modern philology." PALL MALL GAZETTE. "Valuable not 

 only as an aid to the critical study of Shakespeare, but as tending to 

 familiarize the reader with Elizabethan English in general."
