Printed from the Text of JOHNSON and STEEVENS, and illustrated with Portraits of the principal Performers and Commentators, together with VIGNETTE SCENE PRINTS, engraved in the first Style, after Loutherbourg, Burney, Moreau, and other eminent Artists.

FROM the numerous demands for the above work, and its already unprecedented sale, the Proprietors are induced to submit a Nero Edition to the public, trusting as it will, in every respect, vie with the Subscribers copies of the former one, it will still retain that distinguished preference, it has always received, on account of its elegance of execution, as well as its moderate price.

It is proposed to publish the whole in 40 numbers, including the Life by Rowe, with the Prefaces and Observations of Johnson, Steevens, Pope, Theobald, Malone, &c. printed on a superfine wove, hot-pressed paper, and ornamented with two or more Engravings in each, to be delivered to the subscribers every fortnight, price 1s. 6d. each number.

A common Edition is also printed, with the Portrait Print only, price 6d.
