注記

The first American illustrated Shakespeare. Complete sets of this, the only printing, are scarce due to destruction of the plates in Harper's 1853 fire. Cf. Westfall

Each volume has added. t.-p., illus.: The illustrated Shakespeare ...

Issued in parts, most with wrappers having title: Harper's illuminated and illustrated Shakespeare. The fascicles, though numbered, were not intended to be bound in numerical order. The order prescribed by the publisher and printed in the table of contents (v. 1. p. [iii]) is that followed in the LC copy; Verplanck, however, urged (v. 1, p. xiii subscribers to arrange the plays--within the three groups, Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies--in the order of their composition. To this end, the plays are each separately paged, without continuous pagination

The text is based on Collier's; the notes, etc., selected from Malone, Singer, Collier, and especially from Knight's pictorial edition, from which most of the illustrations are taken
