Extract

The British Museum possesses two sets of Shakespeare's plays which were annotated by S. T. Coleridge. Coleridge's copious marginalia were utilized by his nephew, H. N. Coleridge, for Literary Remains, but with a great deal of rewriting, which was in part, but only in part, necessary. Of the fragments here printed, the first has not, I believe, appeared before; the second has been printed with alterations and large omissions; the third has been altered.
