PREFACE.

It was at first my intention to print in this edition only Shakespeare's part of Pericles; but, on second thought, I concluded to give the other portions in smaller type, as in Timon of Athens. The wretched brothel scenes in act iv. have been freely abridged, not because I suppose that the play will be read in schools, but because the scenes are not worth printing at all, except for the critical student, who of course has other and "unexpurgated" editions. My aim was to pick out from the nastiness no more than might serve to show the plan of the scenes and their relation to the rest of the play.

The illustrations are mostly from Knight's

"Pictorial Shakspere.”
