Hamlet.
KniToit Heralp: I would like to
give you a little of the history of this
wonderful play, hut time and apace
not permitting, I will content myself
with a few dated.
The earliest edition of Mantlet known
to exist, in that of MM, It hears the
following title: "Traglcall Historic of
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, by Wil
liam Shnke-spoarc" Various edit ions
were afterwards printed in ltiot~s-!»
and 11, and the whole of tlie plays of
Shakespearewere printed together in
IH2B, and culled the "folio" edition.
The Hamlet of the "folio" is cer
tainly an Improvement on the Hamlet
of the edition of IflOS, This latter edi
tion was most likely, as Mr. Calller
■fays, re-written and certainly COPPWt
ed hy Shak' speare, before his death,
and under altered circumstances and
in a different state of mind.
Mr. Caliier and other writers have
asserted that another play called
"Hamlet" existed before Shakespeare
wrote his. But this idea, perhaps,
comes from the "Historye of Hamb
let." written by a Frenchman named
Belleforest, or perhaps from some "me*
diaevel histories," which mention the
name of Hamlet or Amleth. Some
writers assert that Shakespeare took
the groundwork of his tragedy from the
history of Saxo UrainmatiVus, who
says Hamlet was the son of Harven
diil, Prince of Jutland and 15th King
of Denmark after [ajwtUH, This is
probably correct.
This sublime play surpassed hy
none other -except perhaps, his own
Henry IV., in which the ingenious
and wonderful mind of Shakespeare
has capped the pinnacles of his own
towering Imagination -was presented,
a few nights since al the theatre, by
Mr. Piercy. In this sketch I simply
purpose to give a few thoughts on the
very creditable rendition of this diffi
cult character by that gentleman.
in the first appearance of Hamlet
on the stage, he says to himself in an
swer to the hypocritical salutation of
the King:"A little more than kin, and
less thau kind." The rendition of this
was not worthy of Mr. Piercy, it led
us to drink in the idea of relationship,
hut not so. The King has called him
coitsit). Hamlet replies:
"A little more than kin! By this he
means a little more than rouxin.
The King adds, -"and my son'"
Hamlet says, aside, "less than
kind." This word should certainty be
pronounced hand, and means that he
is not of the same bad nature as the
King. lien, .lonson uses this word in
this sense in many of his writings.
The soliloquy after the exeunt in this
scene, is sublime, indeed, and is the
entering wedge of the solemn scene
of Hamlet, which soon breaks out,
lirst in fury and then in madness.
The rendition of the tlrst line was
certainly not correct. There should
be a strong emphasis on tlie second
"too," otherwise why do we have It,
the measure could be rilled out as
well by any other syllable. The
sjK'eeh on the whole, was not render
ed well. The words, to bo sure, came
full and round, hut tho beauty and
strength of this passage, lies rather in
the pauses and periods, than in the
words. Like the lingering sadness of
iho "Last Hope," it is not so much tho
ataxic as tho time.
Again, in tho conversation between
Hamiot, Horat : o, Mareelltis and Ber
nardo, about tho ghost, Horatio tells
Hamiot that the ghost appeared in
"arms;" and after some further oon
wrsation Hamiot says:
"Ann'd say you."
This sentence was uttered really
without any reference to its real mean
ing. This question as asked has un
doubted reference to tho ghost, uud
not as to manner in which Horatio
and Mureellus prepared to hold their
watch. Hamlet shows that he was
thinking of tho ghost by his antiepia
tion of its second coming, and with
his mind full of Horatio's description,
says:
"Hold you tho watch to-night?"
and, indeed, all these minute ques
tions aro asked, not under excitement,
but from out the quiet of a mind full
of thought.
"Thou coin's! in such questionable
sha|H\"
In tho lirst scone whero the ghost
appear*, Maroollus says: "question
it." And wo think this lino just
quoted, has reference to what Marool
lus says. It may boa question wheth
er this "question" means in a doubtful
shape, or a sha|>e capable of being
uucxtioned. I think the latter, hut it
was not so rendered.
Wo now oome to the key to the
wholo tragerdy.
"O, my prophetic soul! mine uncle!"
1 will venture to say tbat there is
but one man, out of all the Hamlets,
great and small, which we have had
or still havo, who has ever rendered
this lino with any sense or show of
meaning. This man is Booth.
We have at tho end ofthe second
scene:
Mv father's spirit in arms! all is not well;
1 linuht some foul play: woillU the night were
come.
Till then sit still, my soul, r'nul deeds will
rise,
though ull the earth o'erwhelnr them to
men's eyes.
Los Angeles Daily Herald.
This is tho first Blattering of tlio
thunder-dond of suspicion, and why
should it not burst with ull its fury on
tho uncle whom "wiokod speed" 11tti*
rios to "inoostuous shoots." This
should not be rendered, us it always
has been, as an exclamation of our
prise, because it is not a surprise for
11 am lot to know that his uunle was
the villain, but shoulil ho rondorod in
tho voice of suspicion continued.
In tho further speech of the Ohost,
this line,
"(), horrible I O, horrible!" was
spoken by Hamiot. This is incorrect,
and should l>o loft to the (ihost. No
ono hut tlarrick has over appropriated
this lino when playing Hamlet.
Considering Mr. Plercy'a youth and
inexperience and the conipauy ho had
to sustain him, (Mrs. Buret excepted,]
his rendition of this wholo act
though tilled with many difficult pas
sages, pregnant with profound philoso
phy and doop thought—was truly re
markable. I was truly triad to hoar
the good, ringing sound of "hern
shaw," 111 the room of our modern
corruption "hand-saw." Tho distin
guished commentator, Mr. Knight,
recognized the fact that "hand
saw" is a corruption, although he
adopts it.
The celebrated soliloquy of Hamlet
was also rendered with wonderfully
good tastOj accuracy and grace, and
indeed, with ono single exception,
without an error. Judging from the
subtle reasoning of this grand speech,
it was evident that " To die" and "To
sloop," aro Intended as synonymous
terms; but tho doubt is iv tbe "To
dream." "Ay, there's tho Mb." "No
more," must be taken as nothing more,
aud is translated by some French
commentator I think Oui/ot — ricn
oV plu*. This portion of tho solilo
quy was not rendered so as to convoy
this meaning.
The scone which followed between
Hamlet and Ophelia, cannot ho too
highly praised, and those of tho audi
ence who have seen Booth will hear
mo out in this assertion.
Tho scene with the grave-digger was
poorly played indeed. The most that
oan ho said of this part is, that it was
a poor imitation of Forrest. Really,
this is a brilliant part of Hamiot. Tho
sudden transitions, from the thought
of the grave and death suggested by
tho skulls, to tho real levity of the
tilt of words with tho clown —when
Hamlet, as it wore, comes out of him
self, asif wearied with his own strange
and solemn meditations, und then
suddenly hack again to the contem
plation of a death nearer to him —even
tho death of Yoriek—the sad lingering
of the fond memory of his childhood.
Oh! how exquisitely beautiful! I
havo soon Booth make his audience in
this scene weep, laugh, und woop
again. The worst portion ofthe acting
is yot to come. Why in heaven's
name (lid Hamlet ho ml "poor Yor
iok's" skull to his friend Horatio? Oh,
shocking! shocking! There is a world
of moaning in tho very throwing down
of tho skull, the very action is so nice
ly fitted to the words. Hamlet is
thinking of the noble deeds of the liv
ing, tho conquests nf Alexander, the
genius of Imperial Caesar, and yot
thru must come to this, a xtinkint/
ttull. My friend, Shakespeure always
suits tho action to tho word, follow
him.
My readers of Ihe "gown" would
prohahahly be interested hy curious
facts concern ing this "Crow nor' s-quest
law," hut my space will not permit.
Viae the ease of the suicide of Sir
James Hales, reported in Plowden.
Mr. Plerey should have encourage
ment from ull lovers of Shakespeare,
for we shall ho proud of him someday.
We must have Hamiot again.
Col. Forney's Preu is to ho made up
hereafter, like the Now York Herald.
Senator Sumner is to lecture on the
"Unity of the Republic."

Oakland, July 11.1872. )
Herewith I certify that Miss Josephine Liud
ley has been a student In my department of
the University for five consecutive terms, viz.;
from September, IK7O, to April .'id, 1K72. During
this time she studied the French, the Spanish
and the Barman languages, obtaining always
the highest marks for proficiency nnd attend
ance, her average credit mark tor live terms
being I*7 per cent.
(in entering the I'iiivorslty, Miss lindley
possessed already such knowledge of the
French and Spanish idioms us to be able to
s|wak tbem wilh ease, tlueiioy, correctness,
iimla pure pronunciation.
She may now lie considered thoroughly fa
milial with I be theory and philosophy, as well
as with tbe application of these two tongues;
and she may surely be recommended as a ean
dfdale of great promise, for teaching the
French and Spanish languages.
