Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This play, which I first edited in 1881, has now been very thoroughly revised on the same general plan as its predecessors In the new series. The play 1s not only one of the longest that Shake speare wrote, but the text abounds in obscurities and perplexities which, on account of the various readings and explanations adopted by the leading editors and critics, and for other reasons, demand more than usual discussion in the Notes.
