 By "Mr. John Fletcher and Mr. William Shakespeare'' 
 
 1634 
 
 The original of this facsimile is in the British Museum {Press-mark 
 
 c. 34. g- 23)- 
 
 // ivas first published in 1634, it is thought from a play-house copy, 
 eighteen years after the death of Shakespeare, and nine years after 
 Fletcher^s decease. The entry in the Stationers' Books is dated 
 April 8th, 1634. 
 
 Fletcher is by most scholars held responsible for the greater portion of 
 the work : the part supposed to have been taken by Shakespeare has been 
 the source of internmiable criticism and contention. 
 
 The time of composition has also been the theme of much discussion. 
 Critics are inclined to the view that "Shakespeare's part" may be set down 
 to the period between 1610 and 1612, a Fletcher recasting to about 
 1622-25, and its staging to the following year (1626) at the Blackfriars 
 Theatre. 
 
Mr. J. A. Herbert, of the Manuscript Departjnent of the British 
 Mtisetim, comparing this facsimile with the original, says : — 
 
 " British Museum, 
 
 " London, W.C., 
 
 " "jth July, 1 9 10. 
 " Dear Mr. Fanner, 
 
 " / enclose 'The Two Noble Kinsmen.' The reproduction 
 " is quite admirable, here and there a little too heavy, more rarely too weak — 
 " hit nowhere anything amiss to signify really.
