Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Seventeenth Century Allusions to Shakespeare and His Works, Not Hitherto Collected
Many of the following allusions have been noted in "Notes and Queries," and perhaps elsewhere, but as they do not appear in "The Shakspere Allusion-Book: MCMIX.," it has been thought desirable to print them together.
The compiler is well aware that some of them were, no doubt, directly suggested by the later-seventeenth century perversions of Shakespeare's plays, and that two or three others may possibly not be entitled to be described as Shakespeare allusions at all. No attempt has been made to correct the spelling or punctuation of the various originals, nor has it been considered necessary to analyse or comment upon them. One may, perhaps however, be permitted to point out that on p. 31 will be found part of "Clarence's Dream" adapted to the purposes of a Pindaric ode, and on p. 39 a reference upon a title-page which is earlier by three years than any previously known.
