James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps (1820 1889) was an enthusiastic
collector of books on Shakespeare (including nearly all the
pre-1660 editions) and a respected and prolific scholar of
Elizabethan literature. His extensive collection is now housed at
Edinburgh University Library. This volume contains a selection of
his early writings and includes: 'A catalogue of the early editions
of Shakespeare's plays and of the commentaries and other
publications illustrative of his works' (1841); 'An account of the
only known manuscript of Shakespeare's plays, comprising some
important variations and corrections in the Merry Wives of Windsor'
(1843); 'An introduction to Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream'
(1841); 'On the character of Sir John Falstaff, as originally
exhibited by Shakespeare in the two parts of King Henry IV' (1841);
'Curiosities of Modern Shakespearian Criticism' (1853);
'Observations on some of the manuscript emendations of the text of
Shakespeare and are they copyright?' (1853).
