Prefaces and Prologues to Famous Books

PREFACE TO THE FIRST FOLIO EDITION OF SHAKESPEARE'S PLAYS ( 1623)[A] TO THE GREAT VARIETY OF READERS From the most able, to him that can but spell: There you are number'd
1/5


We had rather you were weighd.

Especially, when the fate of all Bookes depends vpon your capacities: and not of your heads alone, but of your purses.

Well! it is now publique, & you wil stand for your priuiledges wee know: to read, and censure.

Do so, but buy it first.

That doth best commend a Booke, the Stationer saies.
