On The Received Text Of Shakespeare�������s Dramatic Writings V2: And Its Improvement is a book written by Samuel Bailey in 1866. The book is a detailed analysis of the works of William Shakespeare, with a particular focus on the text of his dramatic writings. Bailey examines the different versions of Shakespeare's plays that have been published over the years, and compares them to the original manuscripts and early editions of the plays. He discusses the various changes and alterations that have been made to the text over time, and argues that many of these changes have been unnecessary or even detrimental to the original works. Bailey also proposes his own ideas for improving the text of Shakespeare's plays, based on his extensive knowledge of the playwright's language and style.
