That the
Council would gladly publish works more immediately in connection with
Shakspeare and his writings, if the materials for them could be found,
is proved by the fact of their having just published the _Remarks of
Karl Simrock on the Plots of Shakspeare's Plays_, which that gentleman,
whose name is honoured by all lovers of early German poetry and romance,
appended to the third volume of the _Quellen der Shakspeare_, a
collection of Novels, Tales, &c., illustrative of Shakspeare, which
Simrock collected and translated in conjunction with Echtermeyer and
Henschel, and which somewhat resembles Mr. Collier's _Shakspeare's
Library_. The translation of these remarks, made for the Society, was
placed in the hands of Mr. Halliwell, and forms, with the notes and
additions of that gentleman, a volume containing much new and curious
information upon a very interesting point in Shakspearian literature.
