NOTE I.

[DRAMATIS PERSONÆ]. Mr G. R. French writes to us: ‘In 1 Henry VI., it is generally said of the Duke of York: “Richard Plantagenet, eldest son of Richard, late Earl of Cambridge.” But he was an only son. “Eldest” should therefore be left out.’

We have made other changes in the ‘Dramatis Personæ’ of the following plays, in accordance with suggestions from Mr French, to whom we beg to repeat our acknowledgements.
