Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gems From the Loves of the Heroes and Heroines For those who are familiar with the Shakesperian plays this preface is not intended; but rather for them who, "by the shot of accident," or "dart of chance," or the environments of a not kind fortune, lacked the leisure to read them, and therefore it will not be considered "wasteful and ridiculous excess." It is, perhaps, needless to say, that throughout the civilized world, wherever culture and intelligence is found - among all classes of people - the young, the middle-aged and aged, a profound admiration exists for the splendid creations of that great genius - that Emperor of the domain of poesy, William Shakespeare. His admirers fondly believe, that the advent of no other planet in the realms of poetic literature can obscure with the shadow of eclipse the light of his unquenchable glory, but, that it will, like an enormous gem of purest ray, "set on the outstretched forefinger of all time, there to sparkle forever." The writer believes that a large portion of the reading people of the country, desire something of the kind, which this little unpretentious book purports to be - a cheap pocket edition; for the reason, that many, especially travelers on cars, steamers, or in hotels, have not the time to indulge in reading the full text of the various plays, while they would gladly seize the opportunity of improving time on what many think to be the most charming of the many charming things uttered by the great bard.
