I have a first edition, leather bound and gold-leafed that my uncle bought in London during WW II. It was printed in London in 1865. I think it's more faithful to the Greek than North's, but I don't know how contemporary scholars rate it. Judging by his preface, Langhorne seems to believe that Shakespeare read Plutarch in the Greek. I used to be somewhat well informed in Shakespearean sources, but I've forgotten most of it over the years. Now I'm lucky if I remember my way home every day :-).
