The 46 volumes, each illustrated with one handsome, full page steel engraving, were published by Charles Knight, who also wrote wordy comments and comparisons for each play. Tlie steel engravings, said by professionals to be of the finest quality, are by Cope, Leslie, Macli.se. Ward, Frith. Marks and others, names unfamiliar to this generation. Stele engravings to illustrate magazine articles have not been used, present day engrav ers say, for many years. Some persons who have seen the is sues, which are 11 by 15 inches with beautifully illustrated or ange covers, think the set is from three quarters to a cen tury old. There is no identifying date on any one cf tlie copies. Jlany of the pages are uncut. Knight sold the bocks to "subscribers only" at 50 cents per copy The paper is of un usual quality, and the type ui-ed is of another era. The printers were Virtue & Yorston of 12 Dey Street. New York. The publisher, in his introduc tory comments, gave dates of the first plays from the quill len of the actor and playwright, poet and dramatist who was baptized in England April 26, 1564. He notes similarities to other plays of earlier dates . . . as in "Taming of the Shrew," where he compares passages to another writing. "The History of Alphonsus, King of Aragon," credited to a Robert Greene, w ho accused William Shakspere af plagiarism. Tlie texts of all the plays are complete. The type is bold and clean, cast especially for these works. Each subscriber was pledged to accept the full set of 46 copies. In a foreword, the publisher writes, "There needs no apol- J "CHRYSANTHEMUM" PRINT TOWELS! PLUSH SAVINGS!

No home, where the English language is spoken, can be said to be furnished in its truest sense, without a copy of Shakspere on its shelves. "Shakspere is a literature in himself. There is scarcely any human tliought which cannot meet with a full and perfect echo in his writings." While steel engravings cf the type used have not been used for many years, engravings are almost as old as man, who first cut stone or horn in symbols, even before history was first recorded. Eventually men found that metals, too, could be etched and the engravings re produced on other surfaces. Al brecht Durer and Andrea iMon tegna were engravers of met al during the period when Shakspere was writing his fa mous plays. No original manuscripts from Shakspere's pen are known to have survived. Although he may have been charged with plagiarism, and although it may be true, his use of words, said to be his own, were truly word pictures as "I know a bank whereon tlie w ild tin me blows, w here oxlips and the nodding violet grows."

J. i Jake i Pickle today credited a unified Democratic party of Texas for his sweeping victory over conservative Republican Jim Vvbhs in a special con gressional election in President Johnson s home district. Pickle, a self styled moder ate, swept all 10 counties in the district and polled 65 per cent of the total vote. With only two rural boxes out, he led Debts 27.205 to 16.o:i9. Pickle replaces Homer Thorn berry. D-Tox., who resigned ef fective Friday to become U.S. district judge at El Paso. Thornlierry succeeded John son when the President moved up to tlie Senate in 1938. Dobbs carried only a few scattered boxes over the dis trict. In others he met over whelming defeat, such as Box 124 in Austin, which voted for Pickle 454 to 24 , -. , 1 ; . : -v. .
