Book excerpt: Excerpt from Topical Shakespeariana: Or a Collection of English Shakespeariana (Exclusive of Editions); Arranged Under Headings to Facilitate Reference to Special Subjects of Investigation Merson claims that while every one is allowed his poet, that the poet should be allowed the poet's poet without exciting any ill-feeling. In agreement with this phil osophy, it seems as if providing for the bibliopole and the bibliomaniac, there might be room for the student who values his books as they aid his investigations, and who desires to know of a new book the nature and manner of treatment. Bibliographies like Thimm's or Lowndes' or Allibone's are not Specially convenient for the purpose last stated, and it is hoped that this article will be found directly serviceable to those who have forgotten or who have never known where to look for aid in the pursuit of any special Shakespearian inquiry. To study Shakespeare is a general direction, and many are de terred by an ignorance of what to study in Shakespeare, and of those auxiliaries which direct and aid one while a pupil, and which enlarge even the student's view by the presenta tion of the work of[others. Most essays upon Shakespeare are unfortunately eulogistic rather than critical: hence with a traditional belief that Shakespeare is the great name in En glish literature, but little is done towards changing a blind faith into a clear conviction hence again, while all in a gen eral way, know that Shakespeare has proved his universality by standing the tests of many and various standards, it yet remains to bring home to people the truth that Shakespeare can minister better than another to their individual needs and that with a recognition of the reciprocity of all genuine efforts, we should be relieved from the bickerings and un charitableness that form so large a part of most treatises.
