FARMER iltc Mit of a Mmm 1604 Issued for Subscribers by the Editor of THE TUDOR FACSIMILE TEXTS MCMXH tlji iitxt 0f a Wiaman 1604 The original of this facsimile, like " The Wars of Cyrus " (see Introduction to that facsimile reprint) is in a had state. Many of the pages present exceptional difficulties owing to their stained paper with ink showing through from tJie other side. These diffi<:ulties in both cases have been surmounted, says Mr. Herbert, probably about as successfully as photography will admit of, and where they are absent the reproduction is all that could possibly be desired. He continues, specially with reference to the present play : — " H is quite excellent. There is hardly anything else for me to say ; but I should like to suggest still greater care not to over-blacken the pages which contain decorative work, and in painting out the clip-marks.'' The ^^ Hand-list'' to the series I have been obliged to postpone sending out until the next issue on January 17th next. JOHN S. FARMER.
