PREFACE 
 
 The advantage this hook has over previous 
 editions of Shakespeare is that a majority of 
 the famous author" s plays are condensed into 
 lO pa^es^ all reading /natter is eliminated^ 
 'which of course makes it useless to //linisters, 
 old //laids^ and students^ while on the other 
 hand it will be readily understood by people 
 of all nations.
