Demy 8vo, Cloth, 21/- net. SHAKESPEARE STUDIED IN SIX PLAYS "For their own interest and grace of style, these pages will be grateful to even the most strictly scientific Shakespeare scholar." Irish Times. "Mr. Canning writes not for scholars and experts but for the general reader. . . . This aim he has carried out with clearness and exactitude."—Westminster Gazette. "It is refreshing to turn to a volume so sober and so sensible as that by the Hon. A. S. G. Canning entitled 'Shakespeare Studied in Six Plays.'"-Great Thoughts. "This book does not call for criticism so much as appreciation, and this we think it is certain to meet with.”—Public Opinion. "Exposition so sober and so earnest as that of this interesting volume is valuable as a corrective as well as upon its own substantial merits.”—Scotsman. "Mr. Canning sedulously abstains from critical comment, and there are no doubt very many even in these days of popular education who need such an easy introduction to the works of our great national dramatist as he has conscientiously set himself to provide." The World. "Lovers of Shakespeare will cordially welcome the Hon. A. S. G. Canning's latest work, Shakespeare Studied in Six Plays.'" Methodist Times. "I have never met with a more painstaking and detailed method of dealing with Shakespearean plays."—Lady's Pictorial. "It will not be the author's fault if the book does not prove both entertaining and instructive.”—Commonwealth. "The author has an agreeable style, knows his Shakespeare well, and his running comment is always apt."—Irish Independent. "He deals in turn with Othello,' 'Macbeth,' 'King John,' 'Richard II.,' 'Henry IV.,' and 'The Merry Wives of Windsor,' and it is only fair now that his work of interpretation in this connection should be generously recognised and praised." Standard. "Reading Othello' in Mr. Canning's book, one can almost imagine oneself in the same room listening to the conversations of the characters and watching the expressions on their faces."
