CONCLUSION OF INTRODUCTORY SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS, WITH NEW NUMBER- ? UTLER'S BOOK ON SHAKESPEARE'S SON nets appeared in October 1899 under the title Shakespeare's Sonnets reconsidered, and in part re arranged ; with introductory chapters, notes, and a reprint of the original 1609 edition. It is now for the first time reprinted. Butler states in his Preface (p. xx, post) that for his reprint of the 1609 edition he followed Mr. Tyler's facsimile. This is á facsimile in photo-lithography which was published in 1886 by C. Praetorius; it is no. 30 of the Shakspere-Quarto facsimiles and has an introduction by Thomas Tyler. For the Shrewsbury edition a new photographic reproduction from a copy in the British Museum has been substituted for Butler's type facsimile. This has some marks on it in ink which, of course, appear in the facsimile, but which are sufficiently extraneous not to confuse the reader. In the facsimile of the edition of 1609 printed with the first edition of this book “ A Lover's Complaint is omitted; in this edition it is given. Further, Butler gave, in his facsimile, the number of each sonnet in his re-arrangement after the Q number; this has not been done in the present edition, but two comparative tables of the Sonnets in Q and in Butler's re-arrangement are added. Otherwise the present edition is a faithful reprint of the first, with the correction of numerous misprints and mistakes of quotation and reference, and with the addition of a few notes gleaned from Butler's papers. 1925.
