It is desirable that it should be seen precisely in what manner, and to what extent, the edition now offered differs from its predecessors as regards the contents. The points of variation are three: 1. Omissions; 2. Additions of pieces not included in the former editions; 3. Additional plays now first reprinted from the originals. The first division comprises the following productions which, since the last republication of Dodsley, have been taken up into the collected editions of their respective authors:—
Ferrex and Porrex Sackville, &c . Alexander and Campaspe Lyly . Jew of Malta Marlowe . Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay Greene . Edward the First Peele Edward the Second Marlowe . Pinner of Wakefield Greene . Four Prentices of London Heywood . Mayor of Quinborough Middleton . Malcontent Marston, &c . All Fools Chapman . Woman Killed with Kindness Heywood . Honest Whore (two parts) Decker and Middleton . The White Devil Webster . Eastward Hoe Marston, &c . A Mad World, my Masters Middleton . The Roaring Girl Middleton . The Widow's Tears Chapman . The Widow Jonson, &c . The Wits Davenant . The Jovial Crew Brome .
