THE NONESUCH SHAKESPEARE
Again we are enchanted by another volume of Shakespeare's Plays, published by the Nonesuch Press (23 12s. 6d.). There is nothing to add to our last notice in praise of this edition, except that it is gratifying to see that in spite of the present embarrassed state of the world the Nonesuch Press has managed to weather the storm and still carries on its good work in producing volumes so exquisite in form. The edition .differs moreover from other editions de luxe which have come our way in being readable and not merely decorative. The volumes can be held with comfort and read without effort, and the mind is not distracted by that frilsomeness of deror which spoils so many otherwise admirable productions. Should there be any who buy only one volume Of such a series, we should add that many of the plays generally considered popular are to be found in this the fifth volume.
