[191] E. g., the "lets" and the "alls" of IV, 4, 36-40, as numbered in Alden's edition. The play is devoid of Fletcherian jolts.

[201] Murray, Eng. Dram. Comp., I, 353, who cites Nichols, Progresses, IV, 1074; but Whitefriars had been destined by Keysar and others for the Queen's Revels' Children since 1608.

[203] See the impressive array of evidence, internal and external, presented by Thorndike, Infl. of B. and F., pp. 59-63; and by Alden, K. B. P., pp. 166-169 (Belles Lettres Series).

[207] Baudouin's French version of 1608 is merely of the episodic narrative of The Curious Impertinent.

[208] On the Influence of Spanish Literature upon English (Romanische Forschungen, XX, 613-615, et seq.).

[209] Of this I am assured by my colleague, Professor Rudolph Schevill, who has made a special study of the plays and their sources, and has published some of his conclusions in the article in Romanische Forschungen, already cited; others, communicated by him to Dr. H. S. Murch, appear in Yale Studies in English, XXXIII, The K. B. P., Introduction. Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach's unpublished conclusions, as cited by Miss Hatcher, John Fletcher, etc., 1905, p. 42, are to the same effect.

[213] The lines,

Who like Don Quixote do advance
Against a windmill our vaine lance,

occur in a copy of verses To the Mutable Faire included among The Poems of Francis Beaumont in the edition of 1640. But the volume includes numerous poems not written by Beaumont, and is one of the most uncritical collections that ever was printed. This poem is by Waller.
