the following derivatives of suei-: MHG. swimen 'schwanken, schweben,' verswimen verschwinden,' MLG. swimen 'schwindelig sein, betäubt werden,' MDu. swimen, zwimen 'abnehmen, betäubt werden, in Ohnmacht fallen,' etc.-MHG. swinen 'abnehmen, dahinschwinden; abmagern, welken; in Ohnmacht fallen.' -ON. sulfa 'schweben, schwanken,' suifask 'zurückweichen von,' Goth. sweiban 'ablassen, aufhören.' OHG. swiftōn 'stille sein.' For other words with a similar change in meaning see Color-Names and their Congeners 33 ff. 14. TWIPAN MLG. twiden 'willfahren, gewähren, bewilligen, erhören' is conjugated strong and weak. It corresponds to a weak verb in MHG. zwiden (zwīdigen, zwigen) 'willfahren, gewähren, erhören,' bezwidegen 'gewähren, bestätigen;' zwīdesal 'Gewährung, Geschenk,' MLG. twidinge 'Gewährung,' twider 'Gewährer, Erhörer,' getwede 'willfährig,' MG. getwedic zahm, willfährig,' getwedigen 'zahm, willfährig machen,' OE. lang-twidig 'granted for a long time.' These are from a pre-Germ. base *duei-to-, which we may compare with duei- in Lat. beo 'gladden, rejoice, refresh; present with, reward with, enrich,' a derivative of due- in Lat. bonus 'good,' Skt. dúvas Ehrerweisung,' duvasyáti 'ehrt, verehrt, erkennt an, belohnt,' and in OS. tugiðon, tuidon 'gewähren,' OE. tygbian, tipian 'grant.' To this base may also belong ON. týia 'helfen, nützen' (confused with tióa), full-týia ‘ausreichende Hilfe gewähren,' OE. teon 'furnish; adorn,' ful-tum, -team 'help,' getieme 'suitable,' OLG. tōmig ziemlich, schicklich,' MLG. tōmen 'schmücken, zieren,' Du. tooi 'Schmuck,' OE. tūcian adorn' (cf. IE. a: aai: au 70). Further connection with Goth. taujan 'machen, tun,' OHG. zouwen 'fertig machen, bereiten,' zawēn 'von statten gehen, gelingen,' Skt. duvás 'hinausstrebend,' etc., is doubtful though possible (cf. Uhlenbeck, Ai. Wb. 128). 15. DWITAN OE. pwitan 'cut, shave off,' a-pwītan 'disappoint, frustrari,' OFries. *thwita, NFries. twit 'schneiden, schnitzen,' pre-Germ. base tueid-, also in OE. gepwit 'chip,' ON. puite 'Stein,' pueita 'kleine Axt,' pueita 'schleudern, werfen.' These are from the base tuei- in Lith. tvycżyju 'schlage, staupe,' tvoju 'prügele,' tvýskinu 'klopfe gewaltig an,' tviska 'flackert, blitzt,' Gk. σeíw 'swing, shake,' Skt. tvişáti 'ist in heftiger Bewegung, ist erregt; funkelt, glänzt.' FRANCIS A. WOOD UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO THE SIXTH QUARTO OF HAMLET IN A NEW LIGHT It has been generally held that the quartos of Hamlet, from the second to the sixth inclusive, were printed each from the immediately preceding copy. This statement must, I believe, be accepted for the second, third, fourth, and fifth quartos, but the sixth bears clear traces of different treatment. It evidently had an editor who incorporated into his text many readings occurring in the folios. Besides these he made many other important changes.1 In order to prove my point it is simply necessary to present those instances in which the reading of the sixth quarto differs from the corresponding readings of the earlier quartos, but agrees with the reading of the first or of the second folio, or of both folios. Not having access to the fifth and sixth quartos, I have made use of the readings recorded in The Cambridge Shakespeare (1892). When no authority is given for the first reading, it is to be understood that it is derived from the folios and quartos not giue 1 Compare, for example: I, ii, 33 subject] subjects Q6. 215 made it] it made Q6. 237 a] an Q6. .... .... .... truth.] Q6. you truth?

Similar changes occur in other quartos, but so much less frequently that they would not suggest any special editorial work. subsequently mentioned. I have, of course, ignored all texts other than the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth quartos and the first and second folios; still I have allowed the "Ff" of the Cambridge editors to stand when the reading of the first two folios is also found in the following folios.
