Excerpt from The First Quarto Edition of Shakespeare's Hamlet: Edited With an Introduction and Notes

The introduction gives a bibliographical history of the First Quarto, sets forth in detail the condition of its text, and discusses the question of the source and origin of that text.

I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Henry E. Huntington of New York for the use of a photostat reproduction of the Devonshire copy of the First Quarto, now in his library. Upon this I have based the text of the present edition.
