THAT Shakfpcare has followed nature with such trath and corre&nefs, as to ren der his Works the delight of all nations, however differing in cuftoras and manners from his own, is a fact which mote than centuries of nnivj;rfal approbation have' fufficiently eftablifherl—The debt unpaid by the careless and unenlightened co-tem poraries of this Illustrious Man has been left to posterity to d ifcharge, and in pro portion to theprogrefs of taste and litera ture, the gratitnde bf mankind has endea ♦oured to acknowledge tke obligation. England has exhibited her favourite Au thors with splendor, and it is hoped that America that feat of true libajty, will not be backward in encouraging this firft great attempt to do merited justice 10 the author of this Dramatic Work. The seleCtion therefore, of this incom parable Production for an H.EOANT AMERI CAN edition, requiting no juftification, it only remains (6r ihe Pfiblifhers to add a few observations on the claim which fiich under takings have to patronage in America—a country, which for liberry none can equal and Ihould necefTarily be the nurse and pa tron of the Arts. And tho' to rival the Eastern country, may ffeerh hopeless in us— yet it is surely a laudable endeavOtir to ex cite that encouragement here,which Ihould be always offered to improvement *nd ex cellence. Indeed t»he zeal which has ap peared in America, firicethe permanent et tablilhment of the present happy constitu tion, tor patronizing the arts, wbilft it ha produced and rewarded a multitude of works which immortalize the artist*, has also exalted the character of the nation, and given dignity to the people whose patriot ism and munificence have promoted their discovery of perfection. America is not insensible to the value of character, and will afiume her rank amorgft nations as an encourager .of the arts. It would therefore be an impeachment of her wndei(landing and patriotism, if a doubt were entertained of her possessing a portion of that spirit which so elevates the eastern world,a spirit which coniidered in a nation al point of view, is one of the molt praise wortfty in the catalogue of public virtues : as it contributes to the belt interests of so ciety, by promoting industry, cherishing genius, multiplying the rational enjoyments of life, and exciting a general talte for the beautiful and the excellent. mfewt!3J In the hope then that the humble effort here proposed may interest this fpirh, and have some claim to generi I encourage ment, it has been ttnetartakea. The attention which shall be paid to the corredtnefs and beauty of the P*intlks, will evince the desire of the publiftiers to present tfielr country wiih an cditien worthy of the inimitable Shaktjpeait. The Publifliers assure the Patron»of this undertaking, tliry will difchjrge tl*ir en gagement with ft'rift probity and honor, and therefore hope ttiey may jtiKHy claim public confidence and support.
