Excerpt from Strictures on Mr. N. E. S. A. Hamilton's Inquiry: Into the Genuineness of the Ms. Corrections in Mr. J. Payne Collier's Annotated Shakespeare, Folio, 1632
Having, however, in haste pronounced judgment, they now, unfortunately, - as their impartial decision, after both sides had been thoroughly heard, would have been very valuable - stand committed; and the world has to form an opinion upon evidence which cannot be dispelled or distorted by a sudden stroke from the magic wand of any modern Circe.

The author presents a thorough investigation into the Folio, challenging the prevailing view that the annotations are modern forgeries. By meticulously examining the physical evidence of the Folio, the author posits that traditional palaeographic methods used to date the ink have been flawed, and that the annotations may well be authentic.
