THA*r Shakfpeare has followed nature with such truth and correftnefs, as to ren der his Works the delight of all rations, however differing in customs and manners from his own, iaa fact which more than centUries of universal approbation havu fufficiently established—The debt unpaid by the careless and unenlightened co-tem poraries of this Illustrious Man has been left to poftrrity to discharge, and in pro portion to the progress of taste and litera ture, the gratitnde of maiikind has endea voured to acknowledge the obligation, England has exhibited her favourite Au thors with splendor, and it is hoped that America that feat of true liberty, will not be backward in encouraging this firft great attempt to domerited justice Jo the author of this Dramatic Wotk. Decembeo Bth 1794' SICRETARY m&wtijj O F IV EIOHT DUODECIMO VOLUMES, From Jones's Dublin Edition. That it ftiall be embellished with a beautiful Frontispiece of Shakfpwote— engraved by the belt American Artist TO THE PUBLIC. The feleftion therefore, of this incom parable Production for an elegant AMERI CAN edition, requiting no judication, it only remains for ihe Publifliers to add a few observations on the claim wjjich such under taking" have to patronage in America—a country, which for liberty none can equal and should neceflari'ly be the nurse and pa tronof the Arts. And tho' to rival the Eastern country, mayfejm hopeless in us— yet it is surely a laudable endeavour to ex cite thatencouragement here,which fhou'd be always offered to improvement and ex cellence. Indeed fche zeal which has ap peared in America, fi'».e the permanent rf. tablifltment of the present happy crmftitu tion, lor patronizing the arts, whilst it has produced and rewarded a multitude of wotks which immortalize the artists, has also exalted the character of the nation, and given dignity to the peOftle whose patriot ic and munificence have promoted their discovery of perfection. America is not infenlible to the value ol character, and will assume her rank among if nations as an encourager of the arts. It would therefore be an impeachment of her undemanding and patriotism, if a doubt were entertained of her pofleffing a portion of that spirit which so elevates the eastern world, a spirit which considered in a nation al point of view, is one of the mod praise worthy in the catalogue of public virtues : as it contributes to the bell interests of so ciety, by promoting industry, cherishing genius, multiplying the rationil enjoyments of life, and exciting a general taste lor the beautiful and the excellent. In the hope then that the humble effort here proposed may interest this spirit, and have some claim to general eocourage- meat, it has been undertaken. The attention wlvch fliall be paid to the corre&ne'fe and beauty nt thePRiNTiKO, will evince the desire of the ptrblilherj to present their country wiih an tditm worthy of tile inimitable Shakejptue.
