A New Variorum Edition of Shakespeare: The tragedie of Ivlivs Cæsar. 1913J.B. Lippincott & Company, 1913 "As editor of the "New Variorum" editions of Shakespeare—also called the "Furness Variorum"—he collected in a single source 300 years of references, antecedent works, influences and commentaries. He devoted more than forty years to the series, completing the annotation of sixteen plays.
