Excerpt from Shakespeare's: Comedy of Much Ado About Nothing This, by the way, is the first occurrence Of the poet's name in these Registers. The quarto of 1600 was, on the whole, well printed; and no other edition Of the play is known to have been issued previous to the publicationof the Folio of 1623. The printers of the latter appear to have used a copy Of the quarto belonging to the library of the theatre and corrected for the purposes Of the stage; but the changes are for the most part very slight and seldom for the better, as will be seen by our Afofes below.
