Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Nashe, Vol. 1: Edited From the Original TextsSince the four volumes of this edition of the works of Thomas Nashe are to be published one by one as they are completed, it seems desirable to explain brie¿y the arrange ment which has been adopted. The first three volumes will contain the text, together with short introductory notes describing the various earlier editions, and, when necessary, discussing the reasons for the choice of the particular edition which is followed. In these volumes will be con tained all the works generally assigned to Nashe, with the exception of Martins Mom/6s minde, which, at least at present, I see not the slightest reason for attributing to him. The fourth volume will contain a memoir of Nashe, notes to the works, and a glossary.This arrangement has not been adopted without con siderable thought. There is an obvious advantage in having the notes in the same volume as the text to which they refer, but in the case of an author like Nashe, many of whose works are closely interconnected, it seemed that the inconvenience of having constantly to refer from the notes in one volume to those in another would more than counterbalance any advantage thus gained. It is hoped that with this arrangement it will at least be possible with a minimum of trouble to find the editorial matter having reference to any work or passage in a work, and, what is sometimes a matter of no less difficulty, to satisfy oneself whether the information required is or is not given.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
