"It is not for a moment to be doubted, we think, that in this volume a contribution
has been made to the clearness and accuracy of Shakespeare's text, by far the most important
of any offered or attempted since Shakespeare lived and wrote."

"The corrections which Mr. Collier has here given to the world are, we venture to
think, of more value than the labors of nearly all the critics on Shakespeare's text put
together."

"It is a rare gem in the history of literature, and can not fail to command the attention
of all the amateurs of the writings of the immortal dramatic poet."

"It is a book absolutely indispensable to every admirer of Shakespeare who wishes
to read him understandingly."

"It is clear from internal evidence, that for the most part they are genuine restorations
of the original plays. They carry conviction with them."

"This volume is an almost indispensable companion to any of the editions of
Shakespeare, so numerous and often important are many of the corrections."
