"My great objects in this undertaking are to remove from the
writings of Shakspeare, some defects which diminish their value,
and, at the same time, to present to the public an edition of his
plays, which the parent, the guardian, and the instructor of youth
may place without fear in the hands of the pupil; and from which
the pupil may derive instruction as well as pleasure; may improve
his moral prínciples, while he refines his taste; and without incur-
ring the danger of being hurt with any indelicacy of expression, may
learn in the fate of Macbeth, that even a kingdom is dearly purchas-
ed, if virtue be the price of acquisition."-Preface.
