Produced by Louise Hope, David Starner, Curtis Weyant and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net [Transcriber's Note: This is not the text of _Henry V_ as written by Shakespeare. It is an acting version produced by Charles Kean in 1859. Approximate scene correspondences are listed at the end of the e-text. The original book had three types of notes. Footnotes, marked with asterisks or numbers, were printed at the bottom of the page. Longer notes, marked with letters, were printed at the end of each Act as "Historical Notes". For this e-text the asterisked notes are printed immediately after their paragraph, while numbered footnotes are collected at the end of each scene. The Historical Notes remain in their original location, as does the Interlude between Acts IV and V (printed as a very long asterisked footnote). The original numbering has been retained.] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Shakespeare's Play Of Arranged for Representation at the Princess's Theatre, with HISTORICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES, by CHARLES KEAN, F.S.A., As First Performed On MONDAY, MARCH 28th, 1859.
