Excerpt from Merchant of Venice: The Second, and Better Quarto 1600; A Facsimile in Foto-Lithography
Other evidence tending to prove the betterness of this second or Heyes Quarto - notwithstanding some worsenesses - is given in my above - quoted Forewords to Q1, p. V - i - vii, and need not be repeated here. Since they were etten, I have edited the Play with my friend Mr. W. G. Stone for the old-spelling S/zakspere, and Mr. F. A. Marshall has also edited it for the modernized and illustrated edition of Shakspere, which he is preparing (in some slight conjunction with Mr. Hy. Irving) for Messrs. Blackie. We all three hold the Heyes Quarto to be better than the Roberts.
