 Besides the Museum copy of this play, from which this 
 facsimile is reproduced, there is another example in the Dyce 
 collection at Sotith Kensington. 
 
 Another edition, "-printed for Hugh Perry,'' was issued 
 in 1636. Of this impression some copies are found without the 
 date, that being the only variation. 
 
 Mr. J. A. Herbert, of the Manuscripts Department of the 
 British Museum, after comparing this facsimile with the original 
 copy, reports that " it is a practically faultless reproduction.''
