Excerpt from Notes on Elizabethan Dramatists, Vol. 1

Twenty years have elapsed since I first ventured on publishing conjectural emendations on the text of Shakespeare and other Elizabethan dramatists. It was but natural that at the outset they should have come as 'single spies' and that they should have gradually increased in number on being combined with metrical comments and going hand in hand with my lectures. The result of these studies was laid before the public in my Notes on Elizabethan Dramatists the first series of which was published in 1880; a second Series followed in 1884, and a third in 1886. Having thus grown upon me I might almost say unawares, these critical and metrical observations wanted suitable arrangement and unity, a want which must have been keenly felt by every reader and may even have stood in the way of the circulation of the three volumes. Under these circumstances I have felt it incumbent on me to remedy this defect and have now re-arranged, revised, and corrected the whole and brought it to the compass of a handy single volume.

The fond hope to which I gave expression in the preface to the first Series that I should not be obliged, at some future day, again to withdraw (as I had done before) part of the conjectural emendations contained in that volume, has like many other hopes sadly deceived me and I now concur in the persuasion of Gottfried Hermann, my great teacher in textual criticism, that a true verbal critic must be no less ready to withdraw his conjectures than to make them. I now firmly believe, that this is a drawback incident on all verbal criticism. The loss thus caused to the bulk of my book has been more than compensated by the addition of fresh matter, especially the notes on K. Richard II. and Othello.

I must not fail to inform the reader that the designation of 'triple ending' has been substituted for 'trisyllabic feminine ending' which latter term I had borrowed from Mr. Fleay.
