Excerpt from Mucedorus, 1598 The facsimiles of king edward are most excellent. The only criticism I have to ofer, in fact, seems hypercritical. It is this the original is comparatively faintly printed, on yellowish paper; and so is distinctly less easy to read than the firm black printing of the facsimile on a greyish ground. Otherwise the original is reproduced with perfect fidelity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
