1. 'The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eight' was printed for the first time in the Folio of 1623.
2. The earliest edition of 'Troilus and Cressida' of which we have any knowledge was the Quarto which was printed in 1609 with the following title:
The | Historie of Troylus | and Cresseida. | As it was acted by the Kings Maiesties | seruants at the Globe. | Written by William Shakespeare. | LONDON | Imprinted by G. Eld for R. Bonian and H. Walley, and | are to be sold at the spred Eagle in Paules | Church-yeard, ouer against the | great North doore. | 1609. |
In the same year was issued another edition, printed from the same form as the preceding, but with the following title:
The | Famous Historie of | Troylus and Cresseid. | Excellently expressing the beginning | of their loues, with the conceited wooing | of Pandarus Prince of Licia. | Written by William Shakespeare. | LONDON | Imprinted by G. Eld for R. Bonian and H. Walley, and | are to be sold at the spred Eagle in Paules | Church-yeard, ouer against the | great North doore. | 1609. |
Besides the variations in the title-page this edition differs from the preceding in having a preface, apparently the work of the publisher, of which the heading is 'A neuer writer, to an euer reader. Newes.' In this preface the play is called a new one, 'neuer stal'd with the Stage,[Pg viii] neuer clapper-clawd with the palmes of the vulger,' and hence it has been inferred that the edition with the preface is the earlier of the two. It appears, however, upon a close examination, that all the copies were printed from the same form, that the title which we have recorded first was the original one, and that in some copies this was cancelled, and the new title and preface inserted on a new half-sheet and with a new signature. The title-page of the edition with the preface is printed from the same form as the other title-page, as is evident from a comparison of the parts in each, from 'Written by William Shakespeare' to the end, which are absolutely identical. As the running title, 'The history of Troylus and Cresseida' corresponds with the first quoted title-page, we believe that the copies with this title-page were first issued for the theatre, and afterwards those with the new title-page and preface for general readers. In this case the expression 'neuer stal'd with the Stage, neuer clapper-clawd with the palmes of the vulger' must refer to the first appearance of the play in type, unless we suppose that the publisher was more careful to say what would recommend his book than to state what was literally true.
Since, in the play itself, these two editions are identical, we refer to them by one symbol, Q.
It appears from an entry in the Stationers' Registers, 7 Feb. 1602/3, that a play called 'Troilus and Cressida' had been acted by the Lord Chamberlain's Servants, and this Mr Staunton conjectures may have been the same as that upon which Decker and Chettle are known, from Henslowe's Diary, to have been engaged in 1599, and may possibly have formed the foundation of the later play.
In the Folio of 1623, Troilus and Cressida stands between the Histories and the Tragedies. The Tragedies at first began with Coriolanus. Then followed Titus Andronicus and Romeo and Juliet, and it appears upon examination that the editors intended Troilus and Cressida to be next in order. With this view the first three pages were actually printed and paged so as to follow Romeo and Juliet, and the play was called 'The Tragedie of[Pg ix] Troylus and Cressida.' Whether it was found that the title of tragedy could not with propriety be given to it, or whatever may have been the cause, the editors changed its position, cancelled the leaf containing the end of Romeo and Juliet on one side and the beginning of Troilus and Cressida on the other, but retained the other leaf already printed, and then added the prologue to fill up the blank page, which in the original setting of the type had been occupied by the end of Romeo and Juliet. The rest of the play was printed with a new set of signatures and without any pagination, and was simply called 'Troylus and Cressida.'
There are very remarkable discrepancies between the Quarto and the Folio text of this play, similar in character to those which are found on comparing the two texts of Richard III. In the present case, however, they are not nearly so frequent, nor, as a general rule, so important. Some of the most important have been mentioned specially in the notes at the end of the play, and all the others recorded in the foot-notes. We find in the Folio several passages essential to the sense of the context which do not exist in the Quarto, and which therefore must have been omitted by the negligence of a copyist or printer. On the other hand we find some passages in the Quarto, not absolutely essential to the sense, though a decided improvement to it and quite in the author's manner, which either do not appear in the Folio at all, or appear in a mutilated form. Sometimes the lines which are wrongly divided in the Quarto are divided properly in the Folio, and vice versa: in this point, however, the former is generally more correct than the latter. The two texts differ in many single words: sometimes the difference is clearly owing to a clerical or typographical error, but in other cases it appears to result from deliberate correction, first by the author himself, and secondly by some less skilful hand. The main duty of an editor must be to discriminate the one from the other, and in the first case to prefer the text of the Folio, and in the second to reject it in favour of the Quarto. On the whole we are[Pg x] of opinion that the Quarto was printed from a transcript of the author's original MS.; that this MS. was afterwards revised and slightly altered by the author himself, and that before the first Folio was printed from it, it had been tampered with by another hand. Perhaps the corrections are due to the writer who did not shrink from prefixing to Shakespeare's play a prologue of his own.
3. Coriolanus was first published in the Folio of 1623. The text abounds with errors, due, probably, to the carelessness or the illegibility of the transcript from which it was printed.
4. Titus Andronicus was, so far as we know[A], published for the first time in the year 1600, in Quarto, with the following title-page:
The most lamenta-|ble Romaine Tragedie of Titus | Andronicus. | As it hath sundry times beene playde by the | Right Honourable the Earle of Pembrooke, the | Earle of Darbie, the Earle of Sussex, and the | Lorde Chamberlaine theyr | Seruants. | At London, | Printed by I. R. for Edward White | and are to bee solde at his shoppe, at the little | North doore of Paules, at the signe of | the Gun. 1600. |
[A] In the Registers of the Stationers' Company are the following entries with regard to a book called 'Titus Andronicus,' but it is more than doubtful whether any of them refer to the editions of the play of that name which have come down to us. It will be seen that the entry under the date, 19 April, 1602, speaks of a transference of copyright from Thomas Millington to Thomas Pavier, but as both the extant editions of the play, printed respectively in 1600 and 1611, were published by Edward White, the entry can have reference to neither of these.
6 February, 1593.
John Danter. Entered for his copye under handes of bothe the wardens a booke intituled, A Noble Roman-Historye of Tytus Andronicus. vjd.
1602. 19 April.
Tho. Pavier. Entred for his copies by assignmt from Thomas Millington these bookes folowing; salvo jure cuiuscumque—
viz.
A booke called Thomas of Reading. vjd.

A booke called Titus and Andronic'. vjd.
Under the date 14o Dec. 1624, among a list of 'Ballades' is mentioned 'Titus and Andronmus.' Again, on 8o Novemb. 1630, is an entry assigning to Ric. Cotes from Mr Bird 'all his estate right title and interest in the Copies hereafter menconed,' and in the list which follows is 'Titus and Andronicus.' On 4 Aug. 1626, Thomas Pavier had assigned his right in Titus Andronicus to Edw. Brewster and Rob. Birde, so that apparently the same book is spoken of here as in the entry under the date 19 April, 1602. This being the case, it is difficult to account for the fact that a book, which in 1602 was the property of Thomas Millington, should in 1600 have been printed for Edward White, and that, after the transference of the copyright from Millington to Pavier, a second edition of the same book should have been printed in 1611 for the same Edward White. No edition with Millington's name on the title has yet been found.
Langbaine, in his Account of the English Dramatick Poets, p. 464 (ed. 1691), says of Titus Andronicus, 'This Play was first printed 4o. Lond. 1594. and acted by the Earls of Derby, Pembroke, and Essex, their Servants.' Whether or not this is the same as 'titus and ondronicus' mentioned in Henslowe's Diary (p. 33, ed. Collier) as acted for the first time on the 23 Jan. 1593, it is impossible to say.
Only two copies of this edition are known to exist, one in the library at Bridgewater House, and one in the library of the University of Edinburgh[B]. From a tracing of the title-page of the latter, kindly sent us by Mr D. Laing, we find that it agrees in every particular with the above, which we have copied from the Bridgewater Quarto, now before us.
[B] Not the Signet Library, as stated by Mr Collier.
For some time the Bridgewater copy was believed to be unique. Todd was the first to collate it, somewhat hastily as it would seem, with Steevens' edition of 1793, and the results were given in the notes to the first variorum edition (1803). Subsequent editors were content to accept Todd's authority till Mr Collier consulted the original for himself. Lady Ellesmere's kind liberality has enabled us to do the like. We have gone over it with great care, and succeeded in recovering a considerable number of readings which had escaped the notice of previous collators. Taking its rarity into account, we have recorded the variations of this edition with unusual minuteness. They are the better worth notice, as the book is printed with remarkable accuracy. We call it Q1.
The second edition of Titus Andronicus was published in 1611. This we call Q2. Its title-page is as follows:
The | most lamen-|table Tragedie | of Titus Andronicus. | As it hath sundry | times beene plaide by the Kings | Maiesties Seruants. | London, | Printed for Eedward White, and are to be solde | at his shoppe, nere the little North dore of | Pauls, at the signe of the | Gun. 1611. |
This edition was printed from that of 1600, from which it varies only by some printer's errors and a few conjectural alterations.
The first Folio text was printed from a copy of the second Quarto which, perhaps, was in the library of the theatre, and had some MS. alterations and additions made to the stage directions. Here, as elsewhere, the printer of the Folio has been very careless as to metre. It is remarkable that the Folio contains a whole scene, Act III. Sc. 2, not found in the Quartos, but agreeing too closely in style with the main portion of the play to allow of the supposition that it is due to a different author. The scene may have been supplied to the players' copy of Q2 from a manuscript in their possession.
Ravenscroft's version quoted in our notes is an alteration of the play, published in 1687 under the title of 'Titus Andronicus: or the Rape of Lavinia.'
We have to thank Dr Delius of Bonn, for sending us the second edition of his 'Shakespeare,' and for the interest he has taken in our work, Dr Leo of Berlin, for a present of his edition of 'Coriolanus,' Mr Rivington and Mr Greenhill, for procuring us access to the registers of the Stationers' Company, and Sir S. M. Peto, Sir J. Claridge, Professor Blackie, Mr D. Laing, the Rev. T. J. Rowsell, Dr Kingsley, Mr R. H. Martley, Mr L. Booth, and Mr H. Peto, for various acts of kindness.

I. 1. 167. Mr Collier says: "In the three earlier folios the word is spelt 'wrenching,' which the printer of the fourth folio, not understanding, altered to 'drenching.'" In the three copies of the fourth folio now before us the word is 'wrenching.'
I. 2. Capell, followed by Malone, made many gratuitous alterations in the stage-directions of the Folios, which we have not thought it worth while always to record.
II. 3. 7-9. Pope's reading is as follows:
Theobald, followed by Hanmer, has:
Capell reads, following the arrangement of the Folios:
We are in doubt here as to which is the reading of Mr Collier's MS. Corrector, for in his edition of Coleridge's Lectures he gives it,
while in the second edition of his Shakespeare he quotes it as follows:
II. 3. 103. Mr Collier says, "If the blood of Anne Bullen had saluted or welcomed the news,—'If my blood salute this a jot—' there would have been no difficulty." It is not clear whether Mr Collier intends this as a conjectural emendation or not.
II. 3. The stage direction which we have given from the Folios has been variously altered. The only important change which Capell introduces is in making the Archbishop of Canterbury follow the Bishops. The alteration 'between' for 'below' appeared in Reed's edition of 1803, and has been followed by some modern editors.
II. 4. 75. This line appears to have been accidentally omitted by the printer of the edition by Johnson, who, without taking the trouble to refer even to Warburton's text, conjectured that the passage was corrupt and proposed to read:
II. 4. 182. Mr Collier, in his 2nd edition, says, "We are quite satisfied that Theobald was right in reading 'The bottom of my conscience.'" Theobald does not adopt the conjecture in his text. His[Pg 119] note is as follows: "Tho this reading be sense, and therefore I have not ventur'd to displace it; yet, I verily believe, the poet wrote; 'The bottom of my conscience,—' My reason is this. Shakespeare in all his historical plays was a most diligent observer of Hollingshead's Chronicle; and had him always in eye, wherever he thought fit to borrow any matter from him. Now Hollingshead, in the speech which he has given to King Henry upon this subject, makes him deliver himself thus. 'Which words, once conceived within the secret bottom of my conscience, ingendred such a scrupulous doubt, that my conscience was incontinently accombred, vex'd, and disquieted.'" Theobald appears to have forgotten that the emendation was suggested to him by Dr Thirlby. See Nichols' Illustrations, II. p. 461.
III. 2. 192. The first and second folios, which in so doubtful a case we have followed, read:
The third and fourth extend the parenthesis so as to include line 198, '(Though ... break).'
Rowe reads: 'that am I, have been, and will be: Though ... horrid; yet, my duty, &c.'
Pope: 'that am I, have been, will be:' pointing the rest with Rowe.
Capell, reading as the folios, puts a full stop at 'be,' line 192, and a semicolon at 'horrid,' line 196.
Mason proposes to omit the words 'that am, have, and will be,' because he can find no meaning in them.
Malone supposes that a line following 192 has been lost.
Seymour proposes to read:
Jackson conjectures: 'that aim, has and will be, Though, &c.' or, 'that aim has, and will be To you, though ... duty, And throw, &c.'
Mr Knight conjectures: 'that aim I have and will, Though, &c.,' 'will' being here a noun.
Mr Collier adopts this reading, but takes 'will' to be a verb, for 'will have.'
Mr Singer reads: 'that I am true, and will be, Though, &c.' by which, he says, all is made 'congruous and clear.'
Mitford would read: 'that am, and will be yours. Though, &c.'
Dr Badham suggests: 'that am your slave and will be. Though, &c.'
Mr Staunton conjectures: 'to that I am slave and will be, Though, &c.'
Sidney Walker says: "If there be no other corruption, the period after 'be' ought to be replaced by a comma: otherwise the words appear unintelligible. Even so, however, this will be a most harsh instance of ἀνακολουθία. But I rather think that a line is lost, somewhat to the following effect:
Mr Grant White adopts Mr Singer's reading, nearly: 'that am true and will be, &c.'
Mr Nichols proposes to transfer 'yours' from line 199 to follow 'will be:'
Mr Keightley prints, 'that am, have and will be ... Though &c.,' indicating that the sense is interrupted.
III. 2. 208, 209. The misreading 'may' for 'have,' which is so familiar to us in this often-quoted passage, was not corrected by Pope or any subsequent editor till Capell.
V. 3. Mr Grant White suggests that a new scene should begin here, "although the stage direction in the folio is only 'A Councell Table brought in with Chayres and Stooles, and placed under the State,' &c. But this is plainly the mere result of the absence of scenery of any kind on Shakespeare's stage, and the audience were to imagine that the scene changed from the lobby before the Council Chamber to that apartment itself." We have adopted his suggestion, thinking that the obvious propriety of changing the scene outweighs any inconvenience which might result for purposes of reference. Hanmer, Warburton, and Johnson all follow Pope in calling this[Pg 121] Scene V. Theobald also supposes a new scene to begin here, although in his edition the scenes are not numbered. Capell, by his stage direction, indicated that the scene presented the Council-chamber and the lobby both at once to the eyes of the spectators.
V. 4. 30-61. It is scarcely worth while to record how Capell cut up these thirty lines of prose into verse. No editor has followed him. Mr Sidney Walker however has made a similar attempt, but is forced to admit that in some changes of reading he has 'ventured beyond the lawful limits of an emendator.' With the same license, it would be easy to convert an Act of Parliament or a leading article into verse.
Mr Walker also has followed Capell, or perhaps has hit independently on the same arrangement, as regards the first part of the scene. The intervening lines from 10 to 30 are printed as verse in the folio. In these he proposes some trifling changes of arrangement.
V. 5. 1-4. Pope, with more than usual audacity, makes the lines run smoothly by thus changing them:
Theobald, Hanmer, Warburton, and Johnson adopt Pope's reading without remark.
V. 5. 32. Mr Collier mentions that the second Folio has 'Come' in this line, a misprint rectified by his 'old annotator.' In three copies which we have consulted it is distinctly 'Corne.'
V. 5. 39-55, 56-62. Theobald was the first to suggest that lines 39 to 55 'Nor shall this peace ... bless heaven,' and lines 56 to 62, 'She shall be ... mourn her,' were an interpolation. Cranmer's speech originally, as he supposed, ended at 'not by blood.' Then the King replied:

The Folios have 'The Tragedy of Troylus and Cressida' as title of the play. In the first three the prologue precedes the title. In the fourth the order is reversed. In the third and fourth 'Troylus' is spelt 'Troilus,' both here and in the body of the play. Some copies of the Quarto have 'The Famous Historie of Troylus and Cresseid,' others 'The Historie of Troylus and Cresseida,' as first title, while the running title in all is, 'The History of Troylus and Cresseida.' The play is not divided into Acts and Scenes either in the Quarto or the Folios, excepting that the latter have Actus Primus, Scæna Prima, at the beginning.
In the spelling of 'Trojan' we have conformed to modern usage. In the Quarto it is uniformly 'Troyan' and usually 'Troian' in the first Folio.
I. 3. 238. The reading of the Quarto given in the note at the foot of the page is that of Capell's copy, in which the final 's' of 'swords' has failed to take the ink. In the Duke of Devonshire's copy the 's' is visible but imperfect.
I. 3. 357-365. The Quarto reads as follows:
Capell adopts the Quarto reading, putting 'If not' in a line by itself.
II. 2. 22. This misprint of Theobald's was repeated in every edition, except those of Hanmer and Capell, down to that of Harness, 1825, inclusive. Mr Knight made the necessary correction. We have left unnoticed many similar instances.
II. 3. 74. Mr Dyce suggests that the reading 'sate' of the Quarto was a mistake for 'rates.'
II. 3. 130-133. Both the Quarto and the Folios put a full stop at report, a colon at war, and a full stop or colon at giant: a punctuation which was followed substantially by Rowe and Pope. Theobald first put a comma at report and inverted commas before Bring, forgetting, however, to mark the end of the quotation. Hanmer printed the line Bring ... war in italics, and Johnson put the whole passage Bring ... giant in inverted commas. Subsequent editors have followed him in marking the quotation thus. We have done the like, though with some doubt as to whether Hanmer's view be not preferable.
II. 3. 187, sqq. Rowe, in this passage, followed the Folios. Pope, too, left the preposterously long line '(As amply titled, as Achilles is,) by going to Achilles:' but in the following, altered 'fat already, pride' to 'pride, already fat.' Theobald followed Pope.
Hanmer reads:
Johnson first adopted the reading and arrangement given in the text, followed by Capell, except that the latter gave, like Hanmer, Achilles' (with an apostrophe) in the first line.
III. 2. 21. Capell's copy of the Quarto has distinctly 'repured,' though Capell, usually so accurate in his collation, omitted to notice that it differed from the Folio. The same is the reading of the copy in the Duke of Devonshire's Library, and of two copies in the British Museum, one of which formerly belonged to Steevens.
Steevens's reprint has 'reputed'—an error which seems to have been the source of the statement that some copies of the Quarto have that reading.
III. 3. 120. In Capell's copy of the Quarto there are traces of what appeared to us at first to be an imperfect letter at the end of the word 'reuerb'rate.' On referring, however, to the Duke of Devonshire's copy, and to the two in the British Museum, we are inclined to believe that the apparently imperfect letter is in reality a lead.
III. 3. 123-128. The Quarto has,
The first Folio gives,
The later Folios omitted the stop between 'what' and 'Nature,' which misled Rowe, who in his first edition read:
Pope read,
Hanmer reconstructed the whole passage, thus:
IV. 4. 74-77. The Quarto here reads:
The first Folio has:
The second Folio has the same except that it substitutes 'Flowing' for 'Flawing.' The third and fourth have substantially the same reading as the second.
Rowe edited it thus:
Pope followed Rowe, with a difference of punctuation:
Theobald followed Pope, except that he restored 'why' for 'while' in the first line, and Warburton Theobald, reading 'gifts' for 'gift.'
Johnson followed Warburton, except that in place of 'qualities' he restored 'quality.'
Hanmer has:
Capell thus:
Malone reads:
Mr Knight and Mr Collier give the reading of the second and following Folios, only striking out the comma after 'compos'd.'
Mr Grant White:
The reading which we have adopted in the text is that of Mr Staunton. The word 'Flowing' was in all probability a marginal correction for 'swelling,' which the printer of the Folio by mistake added to the line.
IV. 5. 96. The Quarto reads:
The first Folio has:
The second Folio amended the metre of the second line by reading,
which was followed in the later Folios and Rowe. Pope restored the reading of the Quarto, which is probably the true one, as the words 'they call him Troilus' occur lower down in the speech, at line 108. If they are retained at all, we should read,
but most likely they are the insertion of a hasty corrector.
IV. 5. 103. Although we have not been able to find any other instance of 'impair' as an adjective, we have retained it; for editors should be careful not to obliterate ἅπαξ λεγόμενα, and etymologically 'impair' may have the sense of 'unsuitable, unequal to the theme.' Johnson's conjecture of 'impure,' though plausible, is not entirely satisfactory, as it is Troilus's ripeness of judgement and not his modesty which is the subject of praise.
V. 2. 12. The short speeches throughout this scene are printed as verse first by Steevens (1793). This arrangement has been generally adopted by later editors. From the manner in which the short lines are arranged in the earlier editions it is impossible to say whether they were intended to be read as verse or not. An alteration made by Pope in line 40 for the sake of the metre shows that he read some of the lines at least as verse.
V. 3. III. The Folio here inserts the following lines:
As they occur again, with a slight variation in the first line, in the last scene, we have followed the Quarto in omitting them. This is an indication that the play has been tampered with by another hand than Shakespeare's.
V. 7. 6. Mr Collier quotes the Duke of Devonshire's copy of the Quarto as authority for the reading 'aims,' 'the letter i being a little indistinct.' This is a mistake. The indistinct letter is, beyond all question, an imperfect r. Capell's copy and the two copies in the British Museum all have 'armes.' In the same note Mr Collier quotes the Folio as reading 'arm,' not 'arme,' and attributes Capell's correction to Steevens.
V. 10. 31. Here Capell inserts the passage 'Pan. Do you hear ... deeds,' V. 3. 97-111, and after Troilus's speech, 'What now?' gives the stage direction 'Exeunt Æneas, and Trojans.'

I. 1. 108-117. In Singer's edition of 1826 these speeches were distributed in the following manner:
In his edition of 1856 the ordinary arrangement is silently given.
I. 3. 41. The first Folio reads:
as if 'Contenning' were the name of the gentlewoman in attendance.
The second has:
The third:
The fourth:
which is followed substantially by all editors before Capell.
Capell reads:
which is adopted in subsequent editions down to that of Mr Knight, inclusive.
Mr Collier, in his first edition, gave:
at the same time offering as a conjecture:
This was afterwards found among the MS. corrections of his second Folio and adopted by Mr Singer, as well as by Mr Collier himself in his second edition.
The reading we have given in the text was first adopted by Dr Leo. He, however, puts no comma after 'sword.'
Mr Keightley gives the same reading, marking, however, a break in the sense, thus:
Mr Lettsom conjectures:
Perhaps we might read:
It has also been suggested to us that 'Contenning' is the remnant of a stage-direction [containing herself]. But we know of no similar instance in any old edition.
I. 4. 31. A copy of the second Folio, which was in the possession of Mr Singer, is said to have 'a Heard,' not 'you Heard.'
Malone, in his Supplement to Steevens's edition of 1778, proposed to read:
I. 9. 41-53. Theobald, at Warburton's suggestion, read the whole speech as follows:
Subsequent editors partly followed Theobald's arrangement, without adopting his readings.
Mr Knight printed as follows:
Hudson follows Knight, but reads where steel ... silk as one line. Singer proposed to read and print thus:
In his Text of Shakespeare Vindicated, &c. (1853) he arranged the first four lines as in our text, and in the two following read silks ... them.
II. 3. 236-238. The Folios here read:
Rowe, in his first edition, reads:
In his second edition he reads:
Pope reads:
In his note on the passage he says, "This verse I have supply'd. A line having been certainly left out in this place, as will appear to any one who consults the beginning of Plutarch's life of Coriolanus, from whence this passage is directly translated."
Notwithstanding that the words 'darling of the people' are not in the passage referred to, the line inserted by Pope was accepted by all subsequent editors down to Singer.
Steevens, in his edition of 1773, omitted 'for' in the second line; and in his edition of 1793, instead of 'twice being censor' read 'being censor twice.'
Singer (ed. 1856) reads:
Mr Grant White adopts Pope's insertion, and follows Singer in reading 'chosen' in the next line.
Dr Delius reads:
He remarks that 'darling of the people' does not sound like Shakespeare.
Dr Leo reads:
Mr Keightley reads:
Dr Nicholson conjectures that the line omitted was:
The passage from Plutarch, to which Pope refers, stands as follows[Pg 427] in North's translation of the Lives, p. 235, (ed. 1595): 'Of the same house were Publius, & Quintus, who brought to Rome their best water they had by conduites. Censorinus also came of that familie, that was so surnamed, because the people had chosen him Censor twise.'
The reading we have given in the text was first adopted by us in the Globe Edition. It leaves the words of the Folios still in their order, and introduces what must have been the significant fact that Censorinus was chosen 'by the people.' A stain or rent in the copy might have rendered parts of two lines illegible, the remainder being unskilfully pieced together by transcriber or printer.
III. 1. 97-101. Hanmer, followed by Capell, reads:
In line 98, where Mr Collier, from his MS. corrector, reads 'impotence' for 'ignorance', Warburton interprets 'ignorance' as 'impotence; because it makes impotent.'
III. 1. 185-188. All editors follow the Folios in assigning the words 'Weapons, weapons, weapons!' to the second senator, and all, except Capell, continue the words 'Tribunes ... citizens!' to the same speaker. Capell assigned them to the First Senator. But surely the words are intended to express the tumultuous cries of the partisans on both sides, who are bustling about Coriolanus. The following words 'Peace, peace, peace' ... attributed to 'All' in the Folios, are spoken by some of the elder Senators endeavouring to calm the tumult.
Compare also Act V. Sc. 6. 121-123. There is a similar stage direction of the Folio, which was similarly misinterpreted, in The Tempest, I. 1. 57-59.
III. 2. 105. Malone (1790) says 'The word as has been substituted for which by the modern editors in the passage before us.' We have been unable to find it in Rowe, Pope, Theobald, Hanmer, Warburton, Johnson, Capell, or Steevens. It is probably a printer's emendation in some of the numerous reprints of the play.
IV. 5. 130. Mr Collier, in a note to this passage, says that the Earl of Ellesmere's copy of the first Folio has 'o'er-beare.' Mr Staunton, to whom the volume has been lent, has kindly consulted it for us, and says that the reading there is 'o're beate' or 'o're beare.' He adds 'It is difficult to say which. There are other cases in the Folio where the t and r so nearly resemble each other that I can hardly decide between them.'
V. 1. 17. Mr Collier explains his reading by the following note: 'Menenius intends to say that the tribunes have wrecked a noble memory for Rome by occasioning its destruction.'
V. 3. 75. Dr Nicholson writes to us: 'The stage action here to which Coriolanus replies is this: the boy refuses to kneel, but interposes between the kneeling ladies and Coriolanus. See his after speech 'A' shall not tread on me,' &c. This, if not introduced as a stage direction, ought to be explained in a note.' To us Coriolanus seems rather to commend the boy for doing as he was bid. To refuse to kneel would suit ill with his 'aspect of intercession' (line 32). Besides, he kneels, without being specially told to do so, afterwards (line 175).

II. 1. The Quartos have no distinction of act or scene here or elsewhere. After Exeunt comes immediately a stage direction Sound Trumpets, manet Moore. The first Folio, after Actus Secunda, has Flourish. Enter Aaron alone. The Editor of the second Folio seeing the impropriety of introducing Aaron alone with a flourish of trumpets, omitted the word Flourish. Capell was doubtless right in supposing that it had been displaced from the end of the last scene.
Johnson is of opinion that this scene ought to continue the first act.
II. 1. 134. Mr Collier, reading 'these,' says, 'The Quartos give the text correctly.' The Quarto of 1611 has 'their.'
III. 1. 170. In the copy of Theobald's edition before us, which belonged to Warburton, the latter has written 'Mr Warburton' opposite Theobald's note in defence of his emendation, thereby claiming for himself the merit of the conjecture. But in his own edition he retains the old reading 'castle,' while in a note he assigns the emendation to Theobald, and ridicules him for adopting it. Theobald first proposed it in a letter to Concanen (Nichols' Illustrations, II. 220).
III. 1. 277, 278. Perhaps the original MS. had as follows:
The Author, or some other corrector, to soften what must have been ludicrous in representation, wrote 'Armes' above 'teeth' as a substitute for the latter. The printer of the first Quarto took 'Armes' to belong to the first line, and conjecturally filled up the lacuna with 'in these,' making, also, an accidental alteration in the position of 'thou.' Then a corrector of the second Quarto, from which the first folio was printed, made sense of the passage by substituting 'things' for 'Armes.'
thus continuing the speech to Marcus. Rowe omitted 'And,' and the true reading was not restored before Capell.
Mr Collier, in his second edition, says: 'In the Folio of the Earl of Ellesmere, this speech has no prefix; but the conjunction 'And' for And. was mistakenly put before 'Come.'' Mr Staunton however tells us that there is a full stop after 'And,' and that though not in italics the word is clearly meant for Andronicus.
IV. 1. 46. Mr Dyce says that Theobald omitted the words 'Help her:' but this is a mistake. They are retained by Theobald, and by every other editor we know of.
IV. 2. 100. 'Seems' is an error of Johnson's own printer. In his note on the passage, he conjectures that 'scorns' is the true reading,[Pg 535] without knowing that it was to be found in every edition previous to his own. For an instance of similar carelessness, see Note VI. to The Third Part of King Henry VI.
IV. 2. 178. Mr Collier, in his Appendix to Coleridge's Lectures, states that his MS. corrector substitutes 'thrive' for 'feed' in this line, while, in the note to his second edition of Shakespeare, he says that the substitution is made in the next line, 'thrive on curds, &c.'
In IV. 4. 37, we have assigned a reading to the MS. corrector, because we find it in Mr Collier's one-volume edition, though he has not mentioned it elsewhere.
In IV. 4. 113, he gives, in the Appendix to Coleridge's Lectures, and in his second edition of Shakespeare, 'Then go incessantly, and plead 'fore him,' as the reading of the MS. corrector, while in the one-volume edition, he gives, on the same authority, 'Then go successfully, and plead 'fore him.' We have left unnoticed other discrepancies, where, as is usually the case, they were unimportant to the sense. We mention the fact once for all, in order to defend ourselves from the charge of inaccuracy. Indeed, it is on this ground alone that we ever call attention to those errors of our predecessors, which are, in themselves, venial and unimportant.
IV. 4. 8. Steevens says that the first Folio here has 'the law.' It is 'law' in every copy which we have been able to consult.
V. 3. 72, 73. Mr Collier mentions that the correction 'Lest' for 'Let' was also made by Southerne in his copy of the fourth Folio. The further correction, which is due to Capell, was claimed by Steevens, and is frequently given to him by modern editors. The corruption was perhaps due to a copyist or printer, who, not seeing that 'Let' was miswritten for 'Lest,' yet felt that the words 'Let Rome, &c.' were not suitable to Marcus, and gave them to a Roman lord, at[Pg 536] a guess. The Editor of the first Folio, or some corrector of the Quarto from which he printed, thinking the words not suitable to a Roman, gave them to a Goth.
It may be however that the four lines 'Let Rome ... herself' were intended to be spoken by a Roman lord after Marcus had stabbed the Emperor. Perhaps they were an after-thought of the author and written at the foot of the page, and the printer of the first Quarto, thus misled, inserted them in the middle of Marcus's speech.
In so doubtful a case we have acquiesced in what may be considered the received text.
