INDEXES. 1. INDEX TO SCENES FROM SHAKESPEARE. [In this Index, we have endeavoured to collect and arrange for convenient reference those scenes which are best suited to public readings, and which will give the clearest idea of the dominant characters and dramatic situations of the plays. The scenes embrace all the varieties of matter and purpose as discriminated in the table of contents, but no attempt is made to range them under characteristic headings; though the cast and spirit of each scene are meant to be indicated by the statement here given of its special subject. - For the sake of convenience in the class-room and the social circle, and also because a standard edition with expurgated text is highly desirable for such use, the references here made are to the Rev. H. N. Hudson's series of "Annotated English Classics," as far as that series extends, and to his Harvard Edition of Shakespeare for the rest of the plays.] ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA. Act I. Scene 1.
