To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(A copy of the same edition in fact is now lying open before us, in which some of the most poetical passages are similarly struck out. ) It is assumed that these elisions in the Devon- shire folio must have been made by the " Old Corrector, " in conformity with some original from which he derived his emendations. Now the overwhelming probability seems to be, that the passages in question were not struck out by the person who wrote the Notes and Emendations, but were expunged at a much earlier p...eriod, and that solely for thea- trical, and not critical, purposes ; the ink in which the cor- rections are 'made being evidently different from that in which these deletions or elisions occur. This fact too seems the more clear, as these scored passages are accompanied by exactly the same sort of amended readings in the margin as the rest of the book. If they were scored out by the " Old Corrector " with the view of being omitted, how came they, equally with the unscored passages, to exhibit these various readings ?
