In this, the " Falstaff " Edition of Shakespeare's works, the order in which the plays 

 are presented is that of the first folio edition of 1623— " Pericles," which was not included 

 in that edition, and the Poems being added at the end of the volume. No new reading of 

 the text is attempted ; and only those variations from the text of theiearly editions are 

 included which have been accepted by the best Shakespearean critics. The task of the 

 present Editor has consisted solely in the choice between the readings of these critics, 

 where they disagree. For the most part the text of Delius has been followed.

THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D., 



and the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides. By James Boswell, 

 Esq. Edited with Notes, and a Biographical Dictionary of the Persons 

 named in the work, by Percy Fitzgerald, M.A., F.S.A., Author of 

 " The Life of James Boswell," " Boswell and Crocker's Boswell," &c. 



This Edition is a reprint of the Sixth Edition, being the last that) contains Malone's 

 corrections and notes issued during his lifetime. 



"Boswell's Life of Johnson" is a work that has become so overburdened with 

 notes, commentaries and speculations, that the Editor has thought it advisable in this 

 edition to include at the foot of the text only the notes by Boswell himself. Such other 

 notes, with those of his own, as have been deemed necessary by the present editor will be 

 found at the end of the volume ; as well as short biographies of those whose names occur 

 in the work, arranged in the form of a biographical dictionary, and a somewhat longer 

 one of Boswell himself. 



These, in conjunction with Boswell's Notes, will, it is hoped, afford all the information 

 that is necessary, without detracting from the appearance of the volume, or distracting 

 the reader's attention while perusing it. 



The Editor's notes will be found to be in no way controversial, or in contradiction of 

 Boswell, but simply in explanation of what is obscure. 



Some modern editors— notably Mr Croker— have taken it upon themselves to divide 

 the work into chapters ; the present editor has thought it wiser to leave the work as it 

 originally was. The editor has thought well to include also " The Tour to the Hebrides," 

 as being a companion work almost inseparable from the " Life." 



Elustrations—'PoTtr&it of Samuel Johnson (Photogravure) ; Portrait of James Boswell; 

 " The Round Robin " ; Facsimiles of Johnson's Writing; Boswell's Map of the Tour. 



^t0e— Large super royal 8vo, lOJ by 7^ inches. 



Type- Re-set from New Bourgeois Type, and printed with large margins.
