 1620 (?) 
 
 The British Museum original of this facsimile is catalogued 
 as "643. c. 4, 1620 (?)." The reason for the query will be seen on 
 reference to the title-page, the lower margin being cropped so as to 
 render it uncertain whether the date reads "1620" or "1630." 
 The balance of probability appears to be in favor of the first-named 
 date. 
 
 The " T. Z)." of authorship is another crux. The play has 
 been assigned to " T. Barker,'' which, says Hazlitt, is " doubtful." 
 R. Davenport and T. Drue have also been credited with the 
 authorship; to both, says Bullen, ^^ without evidence." Other 
 corresponding initials of possible claimants of the period are those 
 of Thomas Deloney (for whose claim much might be said : see 
 " D.N.B."), and Thomas Dekker, neither of whom, so far as I 
 know, have been suggested as author. Nor do I now suggest either. 
 I restrict myself to pointing out that, as regards Thomas Dekker, 
 the printer of " The Bloody Banquet " — Thomas Cotes — also printed 
 others of his plays and pamphlets. Also in the second place that 
 Dekker was fond of tacking on to many of his titles pieces of 
 Latinity — mottoes, as it were, descriptive, or otherwise pertinent. 
 For exatnples, see the title-pages of " Satiro-Mastix,' " The Double 
 P.P.," ''The Bellman of London," "The Gul's Hornbook," " Work 
 for Armourers," " Four Birds," Sc, " A Strange Horse-Race," 
 " Wars, Wars, Wars," Sc, Sc. This practice was seemingly not 
 common until a somewhat later period. But other evidence is 
 needed — internal, external, of any kind. 
 
 The work vf reproduction has been well done : photographer 
 and printer — both — have well sustained their long-attained all-round 
 excellence of workmanship, oftentimes in difficult circumstances.
