Notes

 
[1]

The Shakespeare First Folio (1955), p. 317.

[2]

"Cast-off Copy for the First Folio of Shakespeare," Shakespeare Quarterly, 6 (1955), 259-273; and The Printing and Proof-reading of the First Folio Shakespeare, 2 vols. (1963).

[3]

See Joseph Moxon's characteristically meticulous description of casting-off in Mechanick Exercises on the Whole Art of Printing (London, 1683-84), rpt., ed. Herbert Davis and Harry Carter (1962), pp. 239-244.

[4]

"Cast-off Copy for the First Folio of Shakespeare," p. 263.

[5]

Printing and Proof-reading, II, 507.

[6]

Quotations are from Hamlet: Second Quarto 1604-5, Shakespeare Quarto Facsimiles, ed. W. W. Greg (1940); and The Norton Facsimile of The First Folio of Shakespeare, ed. Charlton Hinman (1968). The through-line-numbers (TLN) are those established by Hinman.

[7]

A trace of Polonius' lines appears in the First Quarto (1603): "He hath, my lord, wrung from me a forced graunt" (sig. B3v). Since Q1 was apparently a memorial reconstruction of the play based on performance, the fact that it contains this trace would seem to indicate that the lines were in the prompt-book which served, at some remove, as copy for the Folio.
