Such of the Notes to the Memoir of Shakespeare as are distinguished by brackets have been added by the American Editor. The material for them has been derived principally from Collier's Life of Shakespeare. A few corrections, consisting, for the most part, of restorations of earlier readings, have been made in the Text of the Poems.
