 By George Wilkins 
 1607 
 
 This facsimile is front the B.M. copy of the earliest known edition 
 of 1607. Other impressions were isstt-ed in 1611, 1629 and 1637; 
 it may thus be inferred that the play was popular. An adaptation 
 by Mrs. Aphra Behn was published in 1677 under the title of 
 ''The Town Fop:' 
 
 The article by Sir Sidney Lee in " The Dictionary of National 
 Biography," narrates all that is known of the author, touching upon 
 and discussing the question of Wilkins' connection as collaborateur 
 with Shakespeare, Dekker, Day, Rowley and others, having especial 
 regard to Wilkins' probable share in the early drafts of " Timon 
 of Athens" and ''Pericles." 
 
 The British Museum copy of this facsimile ts in a very bad 
 state, having been apparently mtcch handled. The condition of the 
 first and last portions of the book may be thus accounted for : many 
 of the central pages are much cleaner and less blurred. The 
 reproduction is, having regard to this fact, quite satisfactory.
