Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth: Edited, With Notes I have likewise omitted most of the Critical Com ments from the introduction and elsewhere, as the books from which they were taken are now generally accessible in public and school libraries. For these extracts I have substituted comments of my own, in the course of which I have attempted to settle some ques tions that have been much discussed, but, to my think ing, never satisfactorily answered. I have endeavoured to Show how Shakespeare himself answers them, instead of reading into the play what is not there, as some excellent critics seem to me to have done.
