 This facsimile is taken from an original copy in the British 
 Museum — with this exception : 
 
 On close examination for photographic purposes, it was 
 found that this copy was imperfect: C4, E2, £3, F4, and Gi, 
 were missing. Apparently, these had been torn out after the 
 book was bound. Some years ago, in July, 1906, 1 had the book 
 rotographed, but the invoice shows the number of folios to have 
 then been the same as now. Therefore the mutilation must have 
 occurred before that date. These facts were brought before the 
 B.M. authorities, but enquiry has failed " to throw any light on 
 the absence of these leaves from the Museum copy." 
 
 The missing leaves, as also the last page (=11 pp. in all) 
 have been supplied from the Dyce copy at South Kensington. The 
 last page is not wanting in the B.M. copy but it is in a very 
 bad condition. 
 
 Besides the B.M. and Dyce copies there is another at Bodley. 
 
 As regards authorship, " S. R." though usually interpreted 
 as Samuel Rowley, it is a moot point as to what share, if any, 
 he had in the writing of the play : Dekker has been credited 
 with the larger share, if not the whole. Sir Sidney Lee inclines 
 to the view that " it was doubtless either Dekker 's work edited 
 by Rowley, or Rowley's work revised and completed by Dekker." 
 (D.N.B., s.v. Dekker and Rowley). 
 
 The workmanship of this facsimile is good and faithful to 
 the originals.
