1892 Merchant of Venice Shakespeare Maynard English Classic #14 Notes Selections

The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare Maynard’s English Classic Series pamphlet

An 1892 Shakespeare schoolroom edition with decorative green wrappers, a portrait of the author and explanatory notes alongside the text. This is No. 14 in Maynard’s English Classic Series, published in New York by Maynard, Merrill & Co.—selections from Acts I, III and IV of The Merchant of Venice, rather than the complete play.

The brief life of Shakespeare, story synopsis and period book advertisements give this little pamphlet appeal beyond the play itself—a distinctive addition to a Shakespeare collection or a collection of early classroom books.

Wrappers are detached, with age wear and water staining. Please review the photos for condition.
