s no sense. The emendation, if not what Mrs. Behn wrote, is at least grammatical. p. 204, l. 34 _this St. Martin's Trumpery_. 1724 'these'. p. 205, l. 4 _my Girl_. 1724 omits 'my'. p. 206, l. 28 _of the World_. 1724 'of the whole World'. p. 207, l. 30 _beholding_. 1724 'beholden'. p. 207, l. 36 _Aside_. 1724 omits. p. 209, l. 2 _look, look how_. 1724 'look, how'. p. 209, l. 12 _Exeunt_. I have supplied this, which does not occur in previous editions. 4to 1687 has 'The End of the First Act.' 1724 gives nothing. p. 210, l. 3 _Livings_. 1724 'Living'. p. 216, l. 13 _Enter Bellmour_. I have placed this entrance here as by his first speech Bellmour obviously overhears Leticia's words, 'Blest be this kind Retreat'. 1724 places the entrance after 'Sighs and Tears.' 4to 1687 gives it in a bracket by Leticia's three lines. p. 218, l. 9 _Let. But how_. I have arranged these lines metrically. 4to 1687 and 1724 print as prose. p. 221, l. 1 _Seraglio_. 4to 1687 'Seraglia'. p. 222, l. 31 _Quonundrum_. 4to 1687 'Qunnumdrum'. p. 224, l. 17 _Exit_. I have supplied this. 1724 gives no direction. 4to 1687 has 'The End of the Second Act.' p. 225, ll. 13, 25 _Aside_. Not in 4to 1687. p. 226, l. 8 _swooned_. 4to 1687 'swoonded'. p. 227, l. 9 _Aside_. Not in 4to 1687. p. 227, l. 29 _Scene II_. I have numbered this scene. p. 227, l. 29 _in an undressing_. 1724 omits 'in an'. p. 228, l. 7 _Aside_. Omitted in 4to 1687. p. 228, l. 21 _Within_. I have supplied this stage direction here and in Bellmour's following speech. p. 229, l. 2 _to him_. Not in 1724. p. 229, l. 4 _before to morrow_. 1724 reads 'before we go to him to-morrow.' p. 229, l. 27 _his Safety_. 1724 omits 'his'. p. 231, l. 3 _I'm sorry_. I have arranged this metrically. Former editions as prose. p. 23l, l. 16 _Woman_. 4to 1687 'Women'. But Pert is alone. p. 231, l. 22 _Want_. 1724 misprints 'Wont'. p. 234, l. 4 _Exit_. I have supplied this stage direction. p. 234, l. 5 _Scene V_. I have numbered this scene. p. 234, l. 27 _Dick his Boy_. Former editions 'and Boy.' But Dick's name is given in the Dramatis Personae and later in this same scene. p. 235, l. 11 _you know_. Omitted by 1724. p. 237, l. 21 _Aside_. Former editions wrongly mark this whole speech 'aside'. The last sentence is clearly spoken aloud to Sir Cautious. p. 238, l. 30 _Ad, and_. 1724 'and and'. p. 238, l. 32 _Exit Dick_. I have added this Exit,
