[Notes on the Poems]
Several of Anne Killigrew's friends and relatives appear in the volume:
| [sig.b2] | "her Warlike Brother" is Henry Killigrew (d. 1712), commodore in the 1680's and eventually Admiral, who was on duty in the Mediterranean when Dryden wrote. |
| [p. 24] | Lady Berkeley and her son are the wife and son, John, of John, first Baron Berkeley of Stratton (d.1687). John the younger was lieutenant in 1685 and attained the rank of Admiral in 1688. |
| [p. 49] | Lord Colrane is Henry Hare, second Baron Coleraine (1636-1708), the distinguished antiquary. A copy of the Poems bearing his bookplate, dated 1702, is in the University of Michigan Library. |
| [p. 76] | Mrs. A. K., the victim of this extraordinary accident shortly before the civil broils, was probably Anne, daughter of Sir Robert Killigrew, the poetess's grandfather. |
| [p. 79] | The Duchess of Grafton is the daughter of Henry Bennet, Earl of Arlington and wife of Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Grafton and son to Charles II and Barbara Villiers. |
