ave added this entrance which
4tos and 1724 omit, as late in the scene an exit is marked for the
page.

p. 97, l. 3 _Hah! Angelica!_ 4to 1677 mistakenly marks this speech
before the stage direction.

p. 97, l. 4 _What Devil._ 1724, 1735 'What the Devil', which weakens
the whole passage.

p. 107 _Post-Script._ This is only given in the first 4to (1677).

NOTES: CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY.

+Prologue+

p. 7 _Rabel's Drops._ Monsieur Rabell, as he is sometimes termed,
was a famous empiric of the day. A description of his medicaments
may be found in '_Pharmacopoeia Bateana_; or, Bate's Dispensatory.
Edited by William Salmon, London, 1700.' Rabell's name occurs on the
title-page of this book, and in Section VI of the Preface Rabell's
'Styptick Drops' are alluded to as having been added to the recipes
found in the original volume by G. Bate. An account of the
manufacture and use of this particular remedy appears in the same
volume, Lib. I, chap. x, under 'Sal Stypticum Rabelli'. Salmon, who
edited this pharmacopoeia, was himself an irregular practitioner of
some notoriety. He took part in the great controversy with the
doctors which raged about 1698 and earlier. He finds a sorry place
in Garth's _Dispensary_, canto III, l. 6, wherein his works are
alluded to as 'blessed opiates'.

p. 8 _Cits in May-day Coaches._ On May-day it was the custom for all
sorts and conditions of persons and pleasure parties to visit Hyde
Park in coaches or at least on horse-back, cf. Pepys _Diary_, 1 May,
1663: 'We all took horse, and I ... rode, with some trouble, through
the fields, and then Holborn, etc., towards Hyde Park, whither all
the world, I think, are going; ... there being people of all sorts
in coaches there, to some thousands.... By and by ... I rode home,
coaches going in great crowds to the further end of the town
almost.'

+Dramatis Personae+

p. 9 _Sancho, Pimp to Lucetta. Mr. John Lee._ There were at this
time two actors and two actresses of the name Lee, Leigh, who,
especially in view of the eclectic spelling of seventeenth-century
proper names, need to be carefully distinguished. John Lee, who
appeared in the small role of Sancho and also took the equally
unimportant part of Sebastian in _Abdelazer_ this same year, had,
according to Downes, joined the Duke's Company about 1670. He never
rose above an entirely insignificant line, and we find
