« Welcome ! — thrice welcome ever glorious Shakespeare ! In this form thou art 
indeed useful. This book, containing extracts from the prince of the dramatic world, 
may justly be designated, 
■THE EXQUISITE BEAUTIES OF SHAKESPEARE.’ 
Need we sav more to recommend ill A far better Key to a knowledge of Shakespeare 
than Ayscough’s wordy Index; much more ample than Dodd Is ridiculous selection ; 
and altogether a contrast to the laughable, and, for the credit of the country, we hope 
totally extinct ‘Aphorisms,’ which were sent into the world, accompanied with the power- 
ful epbc of Capel Loft’s name. Mr. Dolby’s volume is entitled to the praise of 
being the best and most ample of the Selections of Shakespeare. —Monthly Rente w. 
“This volume will be found an indispensable adjunct to the works of Shakespeare. 
It is copious, well arranged, and, as a work of reference, very complete. We can 
honestly^ recommend it to our readers, who will find it a storehouse of good things ready 
at call.” — Metropolitan. 
“ A sreat deal of pains has been taken with this work, which may truly be termed 
the Beauties of Shakespeare. It is an excellent Table Book, pleasing and useful for 
reference, and highly interesting, if merely taken up for its own sake. —Literary Gazette. 
“ It is a decided improvement on ‘Dodd’s Beauties,’ and will be found extremely 
serviceable as a book of easy reference for appropriate extracts. — Weekly Dispatch. 
“Mr Dolbv’s Book is more comprehensive than any of his monkish predecessors; 
and is certainly much better than Mr. Capel Loft’s crude ‘Aphorisms’ from Shakespeare, 
because it is more systematic. The use of such a book is to lie on the window or on a 
Toilet Table. It is a pleasant book for people who have not time to read the original— 
for young ladies who cannot read the original— and for all travellers.’ —Atlas. 
“ Every Englishman must be delighted with a volume which will explain and direct 
to everv remarkable passage. He will be still more pleased to find, within such limits, 
so splendid an assemblage of poetical gems as Mr. Dolby’s industry and taste have here 
brought together.” — Sunday Times. 
“ When it is considered that in the woiks of our great dramatist the human character 
is completely anatomized, such an analysis affords not merely a guide to readers, 
admirers and cilers of his plays, but a kind of map of the mind, we are not surprised 
that such an excellent analysis should have been in request. . 
“The present appears to us to be compiled upon a much better plan than its predeces- 
sors; it is, what such a work should be, rather a dictionary of the poet s thoughts and 
expressions than of his works.” — Asiatic Journal. 
“To every reader of Shakespeare, to every one desirous of being familiar with his many 
beauties, the book will be found most useful, and we sincerely recommend it accordingly.
