The

title-page,

the

introductory lines,

and

the

notice
to

give

sundry items of information as

circumstances of production and publication, especially with reference

to

"

One of

the

latter,

in

the

B.M.

binding

of

the

work, has been so

as to fold back, showing the original lines;

revised reading
(see

and, when in place,

the

recto

and

the

duplicate page at end of this facsimile}.

Hughes was

by

William Fulbecke

with two speeches; Nicholas Trotte with an introduction; Francis

the Choruses in Acts

and

Christopher Yelverton,

Francis Bacon, and John Lancaster (who superintended the

Dumb

Shows) and M. Penroodocke (who

directed the representation).

Mr. J. A. Herbert, of the Manuscripts Department of the

British
says
:

Museum,
"

after

comparing

this facsimile

with the original,

.

Many pages
so

are first-rate,

and

the whole is good.

I suppose the extremely minute type makes a difficulty, the slightest

excess producing
11

much more

effect

than in type of ordinary

size.
