The exercises on each play follow a logical order, embracing 
general questions, questions on individual acts and scenes, char- 
acter-study, the relation of the play to its sources, and questions 
concerning the text or meaning. Part I is introductory to the 
series. It includes “The Study of Shakespeare’s Language,” 
“The Study of Shakespeare’s Verse,” and a select general 
bibliography. Part II contains detailed questions for the study 
of Shakespeare’s four early histories (the three parts of Henry 
VI, and Richard III) which deal with the fall of Lancaster and 
the coming of Tudor; the poems; and the first comedies, Love’s 
Labour's Lost, The Comedy of Errors, The Two Gentlemen of 
Verona, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

countervail the manifest and ifold proofs of your unsparing labour 
a and thorough scholarship. It is fairly astonishing what a deal of infor- 
. mation in all departments of Shakespearian study you have compiled, 
and set forth alluringly—no small consideration where young people 
are concerned—within so small a space.

The reader who wishes to enjoy Petrarch for his own sake 
will find in Professor Cosenza’s translation much of the beauty 
of the original. The translation will be useful also to the stu- 
dent and the literary investigator. The author’s notes at the 
end of every letter are comprehensive and eminently readable, 
comprising a discussion of the merits of each letter, its arrange- 
ment and object, and a valuation of previous translations. The 
k gives a vivid picture of the intellectual world of the Renais-
