Excerpt from The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet: Introduction and Notes by Henry Norman Hudson
While it'is important that the principle of mum at'que be attended to so far as is possible in matters of research and scholarship, it is becoming more and more difficult to give every man his own in Shakespearian annotation. The amount of material accumulated is so great that the identity-origin of much important comment and suggestion is either wholly lost or so crushed out of shape as to be beyond recognition. Instructive significance perhaps attaches to this in editing the works of one who quietly made so much of materials gath~ ered by others. But the list of authorities given on page xlix will indicate the chief source of much that has gone to enrich the value of this edition. Especial acknowledgment is here made of the obligations to Dr. William Aldis Wright and Dr. Horace Howard F umess, whose work in the collation of Quartos, Folios, and the more important English and Amer ican editions of Shakespeare has been of so great value to all subsequent editors and investigators.
