About this book

Full title: A few words in reply to the animadversions of the Reverend Mr. Dyce on Mr. Hunter's "Disquisition on the Tempest" (1839); and his "New illustrations of the life, studies and writings of Shakespeare" (1845); contained in his work entitled "A few notes on Shakespeare: with occasional remarks on the emendations of the manuscript-corrector in Mr. Collier's copy of the folio, 1632." By the author of the Disquisition and the Illustrations. 8vo. pp. 23. Pamphlet by the antiquarian Joseph Hunter (1783-1861), touching only lightly on the Perkins material, a document “discovered” by John Payne Collier in 1832, shedding new light on Shakespeare’s life and business. This document contained numerous manuscript alterations by an "old corrector," which were actually produced by Collier. Hunter only disputed two readings of Collier. See A. & J.
