FOOTNOTES:
[1] "The tragedy of Sir John Van Olden Barnavelt. Herdrukt naar de Vitgrave van A.H. Bullen, met een Inleidung van R. Fruin. 'sGravenhage, Martinus Nijhoff, 1884," 8vo., pp. xxxiii. 95.
[2] I fondly hoped that vol. iii. was immaculate; but on p. 21, last line, I find that spring has been misprinted soring. On p. 290, l. 3, sewe is a misprint for serve.
[3] It is curious that the next entry refers to a piece by Chettle called "The Orphanes Tragedy," a title which at once reminds us of the second plot of Yarington's play.
[4] The actor who took the part of Truth is to be in readiness to enter: he comes forward presently. In plays printed from play-house copies, stage-directions are frequently given in advance.
[5] Timeless in the sense of untimely occurs in Marlowe, &c.
