+Dedication+

p. 221 _Madam Welldon._ This Dedicatory Epistle only appears in 4to
1690. The lady doubtless belonged to a branch of the famous Weldons,
of Swanscombe, Kent, and is probably to be identified with Madam Lucy
Weldon, _nee_ Necton, the wife of Colonel George Weldon.

p. 222 _G. J._ Almost certainly George Jenkins, of whom we have two
copies of complimentary verse prefixed to _La Montre, or The Lover's
Watch_. _vide_ Vol. VI, pp. 9-11
