NOW READY, SEVENTH EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED, In 2 vols. super-royal 8vo. cloth, pp. 416, 432, with numerous Engravings and Facsimiles, OUTLINES OF THE LIFE OF SHAKESPEARE. By J. O. HALLIWELL-PHILLIPPS, F.R.S. The object of this work is to furnish the reader, in a plainly-written narrative, with details of all that is really known respecting the life of Shakespeare, random conjectures and æsthetic fancies being excluded. In the present edition the Charlecote traditions and the poet's religious opinions are treated at greater length than in the previous impressions. "A very monument of modest erudition, patient investigation, and loving reverence for the memory of him 'who was little less than light."" Daily Telegraph (London). "These are surely the largest and most substantial outlines of a biography of Shakespeare that were ever put before the public." New York Daily Tribune. "The magnificent new edition of Mr. HalliwellPhillipps's 'Outlines' will be welcome to Shakespearean students...... The book is, indeed, a vas! of the work of our great dramatist. Not a little store of facts bearing upon the life and the history new light is thrown upon points that have aroused curiosity; but, after all, this work renders no greater service than by its tendency to bring back Shakespearean criticism within the bounds of sobriety and common sense."-Daily News (London). "Now that the world is going Shakespeare-mad, the appearance of a book like this is most timely. Here are no surmises, but statements which rest on facts which can be substantiated." New York Evening Post. "Once again Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps has enlarged his 'Outlines.' It is a rich storehouse of accurate information, and promises, as edition succeeds edition, to grow into a picture gallery of old Stratford views. Thoroughly trustworthy, it is also | anything but dull or dry.”—Academy (London). London: LONGMANS, GREEN & CO. Printed by JOHN C. FRANCIS, Athenæum Press, Took's-court, Cursitor-street.
