of a new edition of Dr . Doran's great book must have many responsibilities in undertaking
the task of revision , for the author ' s original work had many imperfectionswhich he
continued to make notes of until the , last . These notes are , by the permission of Mr . Albaii
Doran , incorporated in the new edition . Mr . Lowe ' s critical acumen and his
knowledge of stage history are very satisfactorily shown in these volumes . He uses the oriinal
notes ' — - — - -- -- with discretion — — — - - — . — , and — r ^ » his . ~^^^^~^^^ ^^^ own ^^^ »^» ' ^^^ ^^ . emendations " , ^^ ^^ ^"" " ^^^ ^^ ^ " ^ ^^ ' ^ g pWfc ^^^^^^^^ ^^ ^^^^ are generally accurate , though not in all cases
