Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. This is the Temple Edition of William Shakespeare's play, "The Comedy of Errors". The book was edited, with a Preface, Glossary and Notes by Israel Gollancz, and published by J. M. Dent in London . This is the 7th Temple Edition, issued in August 1902. It is the shortest of Shakespeare's plays; according to "The Oxford Companion to English Literature", |> This is one of the earliest and crudest of his plays, and, in the main, is an adaptation of the 'Menaechmi' of Plautus.<| Nonetheless it is a rather madcap comedy of mistaken identities, and despite the overhanging threat of execution that hangs over one of the characters, playgoers found themselves chuckling at the staged absurdities. Audiences still find the story a comic farce, well worth the watching. It's a lovely, petite book, measuring approximately 4" x 5 3/8", bound in dark burgundy cloth with top edge gilt. The front cover has Shakespeare's family heraldic crest stamped in blind; the spine has the title in gilt. The fore- and bottom text-block edges are rough trimmed. Inside, the end-papers, front and back, have Shakespeare's heraldic crest printed in black and yellow. The half-title announces the series ("The Temple Shakespeare"). The frontispiece is a gravure reproduction in miniature of an old etching of the Grammar School at Stratford Upon Avon. This frontispiece is accompanied by a guard tissue, which has printed on it an elegy for the great Bard by Ben Johnson ("And though thou hadst small Latin and less Greek …"). The decorated title page, which is rubricated (printed in red and black), features a central vignette of two smiling head, pointing each to the other. On the verso of the title page is Samuel Coleridge's appreciative assessment of Shakespeare's wit, which starts : "The myriad-minded man, our, and all men's, Shakspeare, has in this piece presented us with a legitimate farce in exactest consonance with the philosophical principles and character of farce as distinguished from comedy and from entertainments …". The rest of the book is lightly rubricated throughout with the act and scene numbers rendered in red. The book is bound with a silk place-marker. SERIES : Temple Shakespeare TITLE : Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors AUTHOR : William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) EDITOR, PREFACE, GLOSSARY, NOTES : Israel Gollancz (1864 - 1930) TEXTUAL QUOTES : Ben Johnson & Samuel Coleridge IMPRINT : J.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Frontispiece of Samuel Johnson by Sir Joshua Reynolds, engraved by James Watson. Original paper over boards, missing spine. Small in-text decorations in purple by William Jordan. Pages are fragile: some have torn, but are complete. Remnants of bookplate from Mr. Phillip's Room on front pastedown. This was a limited edition of 750 copies printed by the McClure Press. This book is number 461 of 750. In 1785, a year after Johnson's death, Reverend George Strahan, D.D., published a posthumous volume of writings given to him by Johnson, which he named Prayers and Meditations. These were the private religious meditations of a very public man of letters, and it is unclear whether Johnson intended publication. This edition from 1902 contains an introductory note (which follows the text) and a number of notes, some of which include biographical information about Johnson and his mental state at the time of writing. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) was an English writer who made lasting contributions as a poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic, biographer, editor, and lexicographer. His most famous works are his English dictionary of 1755, and his Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 108 pages, 12mo.…
