Excerpt from Comments on the Commentators on Shakespear: With Preliminary Observations on His Genius and Writings, And on the Labors of Those Who Have Endeavoured to Elucidate Them

After so much that has been written on this subject in the prolegomena to the various editions of Shakespear, and after the two luminous Essays of Mrs. Montague and Mr. Morgan, it is difficult to say any thing new upon the subject. I shall therefore only throw together a few thoughts on it that have occurred to me during my perusal of those works, which, through the course of my life, has been a favourite amusement in my hours of leisure.
