A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 15 - Robert Dodsley

[99] These errors in "Ralph Roister Doister" have been pointed out by a correspondent, who states that he has detected them on a personal collation of the original copy at Eton College. But many of the variations noticed by this gentleman have been intentional corrections of the old copy.

[100] Yet in "Jack Juggler" (ii. 141), wage-pasty occurs.

[101] So in "Appius and Virginia" (iv. 136)—

"Hard by Hodge's half-acre, at Gaffer Miller's stile."
