Excerpt from Nero Other Plays: Edited, With Introduction and Notes Reprint. NO attempt has been made in this selection to Obtain unity of manner or subject. In the picturesque tragedy of the refined and scholarly poet who wrote Nero, in the homely comedy of burly Porter, the delicate aerial. Music Of Day, the wanton and boisterous mirth Of Field, we approach the great Elizabethan stage from four widely distant points, and are enabled to appreciate something of its freedom, breadth and variety. Volumes like the present, we may hope, are storehouses of scattered treasures; delightful things neglected only because they are scattered.
