THIS

PREFACE

HIS abridgment follows the same lines as its predecessors in the same series. I have made it my aim to omit nothing which contributed directly to the elucidation of the play. In a very few cases I have made small alterations and additions with the view of making particular points clearer.

September, 1908.
