Excerpt from Hamlet: Parallel Texts of the First and Second Quartos and the First Folio

The aim of the present volume is simply to place before the reader exact reprint of the two earliest Quartos and the first Folio text of Hamlet arranged in parallel columns for ready reference. Collations of other editions would, of course, also have been desirable, but a these would have inconveniently swelled the bulk of the volume, and are easily accessible in the Cambridge Edition, or in Furness's Variorum Shakespeare, they have been dispensed with.

The First Quarto (Q1), of 1603, is here reprinted from the facsimile in photo-lithography by W. Griggs, reproduced from the Duke of Devonshire's copy, the last leaf, which is wanting in the Duke's copy, being supplied from that in the British Museum. Its title is as follows:

The | Tragicall Historie of | Hamlet | Prince of Denmarke | By William Shakespeare. | As it hath beene diuerse times acted by his Highnesse fer- | uante in the Cittie of London: as also in the two V- | niuersities of Cambridge and Oxford, and else-where | [Vignette.] | At London printed for N. L. and Iohn Trundell. | 1603.

Our reprint of the Second Quarto (Q2), of 1604, is likewise made from Mr. Griggs's facsimile in photo-lithography of the Duke of Devonshire's copy of the original, with the following title-page:

The | Tragicall Historie of | Hamlet, | Prince of Denmarke. | By William Shakespeare. | Newly imprinted and enlarged to almost as much | againe as it was, according to the true and perfect | Coppie. | [Vignette.] | At London, | Printed by I. R. for N. L. and are to be fold at his | shoppe vnder Saint Dunstons Church in | Fleetstreet. 1604.
