Excerpt from Prospectus for Publishing an American Edition of Boydell's Illustration of Shakespeare The Proprietor has the gratification to announce to the subscribers of the American edition of Boydell's Illustrations of Shakspeare, that he has succeeded far beyond his most sanguine expectations. Many obstacles and difficulties which at first presented themselves, have been gradually overcome. Sixteen of the plates, the most worn in the whole series, have been fully restored to their original proof state, and several others are in the hands of the engravers, in process of restoration. Thus, in little more than one year, we have restored nearly one-fourth part of the entire work, which will enable me to issue the work regularly in monthly parts, as stated in the Prospectus. It may not be amiss to state that the plates came into my possession more than six years ago, that I purchased them with the intention to restore them, and that I found it impossible to obtain such services as would ensure the success of the undertaking, until it was my good fortune to secure the services of Mr. George Parker, who has the entire supervision of the work. This gentleman, in addition to Ills great knowledge and skill in the art of engraving, has all the enthusiasm of his old preceptor, Robert Thew, who was Alderman Boydell's right hand man in getting up the work originally, and who engraved some of the most admired plates. This fact, in connection with his intimate knowledge of the work, and early acquaintance with many of the distinguished artists originally engaged upon it, are a sufficient guaranty that no efforts on his part will be spared to make the work fully equal to the first proofs struck by Boydell himself. No expense will certainly be spared on my part to effect this object, and as I commenced the restoration with the firm and deliberate determination to prosecute it to its entire completion, I have made such arrangements as will effect this object beyond the doub.
