AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PHILOSOPHY OF SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS. BY RICHARD SIMPSON. REESE LIBRARY UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA LONDON: N. TRÜBNER & CO., 60 PATERNOSTER ROW. 1868. THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS are reprinted from The Chronicle, where they first appeared. They were compiled from collections made long ago as notes to Shakespeare's Sonnets, and it is hoped that as they stand they will be of some use in pointing out the sequence of ideas in a poem which both needs and rewards the pains of a commentator.
