Excerpt from The Text of Shakespeare Vindicated From the Interpolations and Corruptions Advocated

Puck is therefore still at work, and we have in Mr. Collier's book one of his promised vagaries. I owe the above version of the German to a fair friend, who has admirably rendered the spirit of the whole poem. While I write this I learn that Tieck, celebrated for his enthusiastic love of Shakespeare no less than for his own highly poetical dramatic talent, has paid the last debt of nature, full of years as of fame.

Excerpt from The Text of Shakespeare Vindicated From the Interpolations and Corruptions Advocated

Bentley, in his "Dissertation on the Epistles of Phalaris," relates that: "The great Scaliger published a few Iambics, as a choice fragment of an old tragedian, given him by Muretus; who soon after confessed the jest, that they were made by himself." I should have thought that Mr. Collier, in the same manner, meant to mystify the Shakespearian Scaligers of this age by the publication of his volume of "Notes and Emendations;" but as he had formerly evinced such praiseworthy respect for the remains of our great poet, and had been such a staunch defender of the integrity of the old text, I could not bring myself to believe that he would indulge in a hoax which might lead to mischievous results.
