speare, 1889), "Shakespeare adopted verse as the general tenor of
his language, and therefore expressed much in verse that is within
the capabilities of prose ; in other words, his verse constantly en-
croaches upon the domain of prose, but his prose can never be said
to encroach upon the domain of verse." If in rare instances we
think we find exceptions to this latter statement, and prose actually
seems to usurp the place of verse, I believe that careful study of the
passage will prove the supposed exception to be apparent rather
than real.
Some Books for Teachers and Students. — A few out of the
many books that might be commended to the teacher and the criti-
cal student are the following: Halliwell-Phillipps's Outlines of the
Life of Shakespeare (7th ed, 1 887) ; Sidney Lee's Life of Shake-
speare (1898; for ordinary students the abridged ed. of 1899 is
preferable) ; Schmidt's Shakespeare Lexicon (3d ed. 1902) ; Lit-
tledale's ed. of Dyce's Glossary (1902) ; Bartlett's Concordance to
Shakespeare (1895) ; Abbott's Shakespearian Grammar (1873) ;
Furness's " New Variorum " ed. of the plays (encyclopaedic and
exhaustive) ; Dowden's Shakspere : His Mind and Art (American
ed. 1881) ; Hudson's Life^ Art, and Characters of Shakespeare
(revised ed. 1882) ; Mrs. Jameson's Characteristics of Women
(several eds. ; some with the title Shakespeare Heroines^ \ Ten
Brink's Five Lectures on Shakespeare (1895); Boas's Shakespeare
and LJis Predecessors (1895); Dyer's Folk-lore of Shakespeare
(American ed. 1884); Gervinus's Shakespeare Co?nmentaries (Bun-

of the Bible (3d ed. 1880); Elson's Shakespeare in Music (1901);
Rolfe's Life of Shakespeare (1904).
Some of the above books will be useful to all readers who are
interested in special subjects or in general criticism of Shakespeare.
Among those which are better suited to the needs of ordinary
readers and students, the following may be mentioned : Mabie's
William Shakespeare, Poet, Dramatist, and Man (1900); Dow-
den's Shakspere Primer (1877; small but invaluable); Rolfe's
