The Tragedy of Hamlet is now in pres3. The first

PROSPECTUS.
The Pictorial and Illustrated editions of SHAK
SPEARE, late ly published in England, are amongst
the most beautiful specimens of the recent and re
markable improvement of the aft of wood engraving,
which, by combining great excellence of execution,
with economy of price, has given an unprecedented
diffusion to the most useful as well as the most ex
quisite productions of the arts of design.
The designs of Kenny Meadows for the illustra
tions of Tyas’ edition of Shakspeare, expresses the
character of the several personages, and the spirit o
the scene, with wonderful truth and power; whilst
the wood engraving of Knight’s Pictorial edition
combine with the highest merits of art and taste,
such a learned and minute accuracy as to scenery,
costume, architecture and antiquity as to make them
a perpetual and most instructive commentary upon
the Poet’s text. It is now proposed to embody in
an American Edition, the admirable illustrations of
both these editions, engraved with equal excellence
of mechanical execution, to add to these, other en
gravings from eminent artists, as Reynolds, Fuseli,
S. Newton, &c., and to accompany them with a bcau
lifully printed and correct text.
But die publisher, anxious that his country should
pay some part of the homage due from her to the
greatest of Poets, as to one who belongs not solely
to England, butte ail
who speak the tongue
That Shakspeare spake,
Could not content himself with a mere republication
or compilation. He has therefore prevailed upon R.
W. Weir, whose reputation as an artist is already
identified with his country’s history, to contribute a
series of original designs, togetherw ith such advice
and assistance in other details of art as his taste may
suggest for the illustration and embellishment of
thispnblication. From the same reason the publish
er, instead of reprinting the text and commentary of
any popular English impression, was desirous that
his edition should have the supervision fan Atm-r
--can editor. This task has been under ke f (JU
LIAN O. VERPLA.NCK.
| The plan proposed to himself by the
furnish the reader with a careful! ■■ y
i curately primed text, unc lcumbeted hy any nm <
; or comments upon die page itself; as how ever usi -
ful they may be elsewhere, they arc too apt to divert
1 the mind from the power of the Poet’s thought, and
to disturb the magic of his scene. Such notes as
may be thought useful for the explanation or criti
cism of the text, will be thrown into an Appendix io
each play.
The text of Shakspeare’s dramatic, works, drawn
from old printed copies in his age, which had never
passed under the author’s own eye, was consequent
ly disfigured hy many eirore and obscurities. It
passed during the last century through a succession
of varying editions until the revision ol Stevens and
Malone, whose text, (or rather that of Stevens) has
become the standard from w hich most of the English
and American editions have been printed, with vari
ous degrees of accuracy. But within die last twen
ty years a more minute and familiar acquaintance
with old English idioms, habits, and modes of
thought, guided by an intense and constantly increa
sing admiration of Shakspeare’s genius, has led to
the strong conviction that very many of the numer
ous though slight deviations from ihe ancient text
appearing in modern editions, are useless or errone
ous interpolations, sometimes weakening the sense
and often substituting ru arbitrary monotonous met
rical regularity to the Poet’s own native melody.—
Accordingly very many of these emendations have
been rejected hy the last and best English editors,
especially Mr. Knight and Mr. Collier, and the rea
dings of the old folios and quartos have been resto
red, unless where some error of the press or manu
script was undeniably manifest. Yet there aro ma
ny such passages confessedly corrupt, and requiring
conjectural emendation; there are also differences
of reading between the several old impressions, af
fording grounds for some diversity of text and w arm
controversy between the more recent editors.
Upon these the American editor thinks it due to
the character of this edition, to decide for himself
without implicitly following the text of any one mod
ern edition. As the industry and learning of prior
editors have furnished the collation of various read
ings and the authorities upon which they may be
supported, the task is no longer that of laborious in
vestigation, bnt, as it were, of judicial decision, en
lightened by contending argument.
As many of these variations are of nearly equal
probability, and as some of them are doubtless the
author’s own alterations at different periods ‘all the
more important readings will he presented to the
reader in the notes for his own selection. Those
notes will also contain so much of commentary as j
may be useful to explain antiquated wotds and phra- i
ses, obscurely expressed passages, and allusions to
obsolete opinions or the habits or history of the
times; the whole in as condensed a form as practica
ble. But any commentary upon Shakspeare, how
ever brief, would he imperfect if it did net present i
some view of the higher criticism employed, not on
the interpretation of his language, but upon his
thoughts, his character, his poetrv, passions, philoso
phy. The only difficulty here arises from the abun
dance, the magnificent variety of the materials con
tributed during the last half century by the most
brilliant minds of Europe. Still it is believed that
this duty can be satisfactorily performed without
swelling the edition to an inconvenient bulk.

THE nerves of the human body— those necessary
and mysterious apents which immediately con
nect man with external nature—are singularly'prone
to have their functions disordered by an oppressed con
dition of the stomach ; the minu'e termination of that
portion of he nerves expanded upon the organs of
digestion conveying die morbid impression to the Brain.
And although the Head can. undoubtedly, like other
organs, be the seat of primary cisorder.yet, in the great
majority of cases, the uneasy eersatiotts there experi
enced are symptomatic of disordered Stomach ; and,
further there is abundant evidence to prove that erndi
ties in the Stomach and Bow els can, in every grade of
humhn existence give rise to spasmodic action in every
organ of the body; and whether we survey if in th e
agonising form ofTtc Dolereaux—the alarming con
vulsions of the Epileptic seizure—or in that irritable
condition of the nerves ofthe heart occasioning nervous
palpitation—they can all frequently he traced to the
source above mentioned, and he cured bymild evaru
ant and tonic remedies. To relieve a state of so much
suffering and distress (in which body and mind also
participate) BRANDRETH PXXL.LS are confi
dently recommended; as, by combining aromatic tonic
and cleansing properties, thev remove all oppressive
accumulations, strengthen the Stomach, induce a
healthy appetite, and impart tranquility to the nervous
system ; and in feet, by their general purifying power
upon the blood, exeria most benKflctti influence in all
cases of disease. Read the following.
DYSPEPSIA CURED.
BENNINGTON, Yt. Dee. sth, 1843.
Dear Sir I wish you to add my testimony to flic
host of others thatyou have, in saver of jourvalnable
Tills. In the year 1638, I was attacked with that dis
agreeable complaint, the DYSPEPSIA, which so
affected me that I could not take the least particle of
food, without the most unpleasant and uncomfortable
sensations in my chest, bead and bowels. My chest
was so sore that 1 ectiitl not bear the slightest pres
sure without giving me pain. My health was most
miserable ; many physicians told me they thought
was in the consumption, and that il l did not give tin
my business, and change climate I c .uld live hut a
short time.
I tried emry thing in the shape of medicine, and
consulted the most skilfnl physicians, but found no
permanent relief. I became discouraged, gloomy,
sad, and sirk of life; and, probably, ere this should
iiave been in my grave, had I not fell in with your
precious medicine. A friend of mine, whohad been
sick of the same complaint, advised me to try your
pills ; but,Jiavntg tried most of the medicines without
obtaining any relief, had bot little faith that vonr
Tills would ! e of benefit to me ; but, at his eariten
solicitations. T procured a box arid commenced taking
’(cm. The first box produced little or no effect,and
1 Ii can to despond, for fear that your medicine
c ould prove like others I have taken; but my friend-t
argued lhat one was not a fair trial, and I purchased
a second, and before I had taken the whole box be
gan to experience a change: the pain in my chest
began to be less painful, and my food did not distres
me as uuch as formerly. I tvetiton taking- them un
til I bad taken six boxes, and my DYSPEPSIA
was GONE, and my expectation of an early death
vanished, and I felt like a 4l new creature.” 1 was
then, and am now, a healthy man. t have never
since been troubled with the DYSPEPSIA. !
nave administered your Tills io the members of ntv
f-iuuly, and to my friends, and in all cases with good
success. son ran publish if it w ill be of any use tu
you. I am, dear Sir, trulyyottrs,
