I essentially am not in madness, But mad in craft. AS PERFORMED BY Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1866, by BAKER & GODWIN, In the Clerks Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Naw York. C. A. Alvord, Printer. HAMLET. The Essay on Hamlet, by the celebrated German critic Gervinus, contains, perhaps, themost complete and accurate history of the play, and the most close and searching analysis ofthe character which has appeared. As we believe no translation of it has yet been published, the one we now offer which—with the exception of a very few additions and omissions—strictly follows the text, may notbe uninteresting. The story of Hamlet originally appeared in Saxo Grammaticus, though in a crude andunpolished form. We next find it in a more finished and refined state in BelleforestsNovels, published in 1564, and subsequently in an English work taken from them andpublished in 1608, entitled the history of Hamblett.
