Shakespeare's case has in a great measure resembled that of a corrupt classick; and, consequently, the method of cure was likewise to bear a resemblance. By what means, and 7 Vide Heminge and Condell's Introduction, p 3. 72 FAMOUS INTRODUCTIONS with what success, this cure has been effected on ancient writers, is too well known, and needs no formal illustration. The reputation, consequent on tasks of that na...ture, invite me to attempt the method here ; with this view, the hopes of restoring to the publick their greatest poet in his original purity, after having so long lain in a condition that was a disgrace to common sense. To this end I have ventured on a labour, that is the first essay of the kind on any modern author whatsoever.
