The word "apt" has been suspected of error in this passage; but if the mode in which Shakespeare employs the word " apt " in the other passages we have here cited be observed, we think it will be perceived that "apt " is right, and bears the meaning we assign-a meaning included among those borne by the Latin word aptus. It may be expedient here to mention (in reference to "antres," "apt," " contrive," &c., cited under the present heading) that we had originally written a heading entitled "CLASSICALLY DERIVED WORDS," which minutely discussed Shakespeare's employment of such words. It showed that his use of them with their strickly primitive sense in reference to their classical derivation clearly demonstrates the injustice (not unfrequently committed by former commentators) of attributing to him a deficiency of knowledge in the classical languages; and showed, on the contrary, that he possessed a very accurate acquaintance with the sources whence many English terms are derived. We cancelled that heading, from a desire to condense the present book; but we now draw attention to such words as "accite," 66 agnise," artificial," aspersion," "cadent," "concent," "conduce," "consist," "crescive," crisp,' dissemble," erring," expostulate," extracting,' extravagant,' "fact," impose," imposition," lin'd," indign," injury," lineaments,' prevent," "remotion," "speculation," "stomach," "verbal," "virtue," &c., as proofs of our assertion.
