The Admirers of Shakespear must not take it ill that there are some Scenes, and consequently many fine Passages, omitted in this Edition of Cymbeline. It was impossible to retain more of the Play and bring it within the Compass of a Night's Entertainment. The chief Alterations are in the Division of the Acts, in the Shortning many parts of the Original, and transposing some Scenes. As the Play has met with so favourable a Reception from the Publick, it is hop'd that the Alterations have not been made with great Impropriety.
N.B. The Scene printed in Italics in the fifth Act was omitted in the Representation after the first Night, but it is thought proper to print it.
