    nothing ^ but praise for the if entire ^ , edition now that it stands complete . Editors and publishers have striven to make the Irving Edition worthy

    of the scholarship and mechanical resources of the age , and we may say at once that they have succeeded . It is — a great work — bravely

    planned and faithfully executed c ? . It , is to be •/ sincerely regretted that Mr . Marshall did not live to see the completion of the great task to

    which he devoted the best part of his life , but his works will surely follow him . Happily his death did not interfere with the progress of the

    work . When he fell , Mr . Arthur Symons stepped into the breach , and it is mainly to Mr . Symons ' s care and ability , Mr . Irving

    informs us , that the completion of this last volume is due . The introduction to Hamlet in the part before usis from the pen of Mr .

    Marshall jl and will be , read with M a sad and peculiar interest ; it is also likely to be read with no small profit . The introduction to

    Henry VIII . is by Mr . Symons , that to Pericles by P . Z . Hound , and that to the Poems by A . Wilson Verityand _ _ _ all _ are _„__ lucid and scholarly .
