The Priory, 21 North Bank, Regents Park -- Suggests that Clark should print the two versions of Hamlet with commentary which he would find instructive, as he has never seen the whole of the first version except in Hugo's French translation; is sending him the new edition of his life of Goethe in part because Clark liked the original, and in part to show he is not unmindful of Clark's kindness.

Note enclosing a copy of a letter from Woollaston to Lord Camden, asking for permission for W. G. Clark to consult the Dering MS of "Henry the Fourth".
The letters primarily contain his thoughts on aspects of various Shakespeare plays: Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, All's Well That Ends Well, Henry IV Part II, and Henry V. In a letter of 28 Nov. 1863 he regrets he has not found more that was worth Clark's attention: "It is the fault of the old editors, who shamelessly adopt one's most original ideas, and publish them a century beforehand, as their own." His letter of 20 Jan. 1863 also explains why he doesn't want the Trinity chaplaincy.
