Excerpt from Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor: The First Quarto, 1602 The greater part of Mr. Griggs's stock of the Facsimile of T he Merry Wives of Windsor having been consumed in the fire which destroyed his premises in june, 1883, a reprint has been found necessary to complete sets of this series of Quarto Facsimiles. Advantage has been taken of this circumstance to remedy the defects found in the facsimile as first issued in 1881 defects originating in the imperfections of the original copy Of the Q from which the facsimile was made. For this purpose Mr. Henry Huth has most generously allowed his beautiful Copy of the Q to be photographed, and the text of the facsimile produced from it has been examined by the Editor, who now makes himself responsible for its correct ness a duty which, owing to his absence from England, he was unable to undertake when the first edition passed through the press.
