INDEX.

In this Index no attempt has been made to analyze the regular discussions
of the separate works of Shakspere, to which any one desiring knowledge
of them would naturally turn. All mentions of these works, and of charac-
ters therein, which do not occur in the regular discussions, have been
noted.

The works of Shakspere are entered alphabetically under the head of
Shakspere; and the characters are entered alphabetically under the heads
of the plays in which they occur.

When works of other authors are mentioned, they are similarly entered
alphabetically under the heads of their writers.

The term seq. is used to indicate that the matter in question is mentioned
on more than two consecutive pages.
