Excerpt from Choice Readings From Standard and Popular Authors
In compiling we have drawn from a number of sources, all of which have, in some form, been duly recognized. We here acknowledge our indebtedness for the valuable criticisms and suggestions of the Rev. Henry N. Hudson, the well-known Shakespearian, who has revised and ap proved the selections, and has himself furnished some of them, and has also superintended and corrected the printing throughout; which of itself should be endorse ment enough to satisfy the most critical.
