Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of John Marston, Vol. 1 of 3 Marston's Works were edited in 1856 by Mr. Halliwell (3 vols. 8 vo.) for Mr. Russell Smith's Library of Old Authors. I yield to none in my admiration for the best and the most accurate of living Shakespearean scholars; but I am sure that Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps, who in his Outlines of the Life of Shakespeare has set so singularly high a standard of excellence, would be the first to acknowledge that his edition of Marston's Works needs revision. In the present volumes I have done my best to regulate the text, which is frequently very corrupt; but I am painfully conscious that I have left plenty of work for future editors. A valuable edition of Marston's poems was published in 1879, for private circulation, by Dr. Grosart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
