This unique Edition of the great dramatist is admirably suited for 

 home use ; while objectionable phrases have been expurgated, no rash liberties 

 have been taken with the text. 



" It is quite undeniable that there are many passages in Shakspeare which a father 

 could not read aloud to his children — a brother to his sister — or a gentleman to a lady ; 

 and every one almost must have felt or witnessed the extreme awkwardness, and even 

 distress, that arises from suddenly stumbling upon such expressions. . . . Those 

 who recollect such scenes must all rejoice that Mr. Bowdler has provided a security 

 against their recurrence. . . . This purification has been accomplished with sur- 

 prisingly little loss, either of weight or value ; the base alloy in the pure metal of 

 Shakspeare has been found to amount to an inconceivably small proportion. ... It 

 has in general been found easy to extirpate the offensive expressions of our great poet 

 without any injury to the context, or any visible scar or blank in the composition. 

 They turn out to be not so much cankers in the flowers, as weeds that have sprung up 

 by their side — not flaws in the metal, but impurities that have gathered on its 

 surface — and, so far from being missed, on their removal the work generally appears 

 more natural and harmonious without them." — Lord Jeffrey 171 tJie Ediiibu7gk
