The title-page, the introductory lines, and the notice ontitle-sheet 4 verso, give sundry items of information as to thecircumstances ofproduction and publication, especially with referenceto " cancels." One of the latter, in the B.M. binding of thework, has been so left as to fold back, showing the original lines;and, when in place, the revised reading (see B 4 recto and theduplicate page at end of this facsimile}.

Hughes was assisted by seven others William Fulbeckewith two speeches; Nicholas Trotte with an introduction; FrancisFlower with the Choruses in Acts I. and II. ; Christopher Yelverton,Francis Bacon, and John Lancaster (who superintended the DumbShows) and M. Penroodocke (who directed the representation).

Mr. J. A. Herbert, of the Manuscripts Department of theBritish Museum, after comparing this facsimile with the original,says : " Many pages are first-rate, and the whole is good. . . .I suppose the extremely minute type makes a difficulty, the slightestexcess producing so much more effect than in type of ordinarysize. 11
