Excerpt from Pericles Prince of Tyre

The circumstances, under which the interesting tract contained in this reprint has come to light, are as follows. I had already some years ago received intelligence that a few old English books of Shakespeare's time were in the public library of Zurich. Dr. J. Horner, the Chief Librarian of the "Stadtbibliothek", had the kindness to transmit them successively to me: amongst them I found also the novel of George Wilkins, and perceiving it to be identical with that mentioned by Mr. Collier in his Shakespeare, Vol. VIII. p. 267-269., and struck with a great many passages of surprising beauty, besides the fine narrative style of the whole, I had a mind to republish it.
