[ [64] This book, so far as I know, is not to be found in any American library. My knowledge of its contents is derived wholly from Darrel’s answer, A Detection of that sinnful, shamful, lying and ridiculous Discours, of Samuel Harshnet, entituled: A Discoverie, etc.... Imprinted 1600, which apparently cites all of Harsnet’s more important points for refutation. It has been lent me through the kindness of Professor George L. Burr from the Cornell Library. The quotations from Harsnet in the following pages are accordingly taken from the excerpts in the Detection.

Mercutio evidently refers to Saviolo’s book and the use of the rapier in Rom. and Jul. 3. 1. 93. Here the expression, ‘fight by the book’, first occurs, used again by B. & Fl., Elder Brother, Wks. 10. 284; Dekker, Guls Horne-booke, ch. 4; As You Like it 5. 4. Dekker speaks of Saviolo, Non-dram.
