[During the passing of these sheets through the press, a copy of the

quarto named G (1677, 'The Seventh Edition') has been found in England by

the writer of this note. Its existence has been ignored by every previous

editor of Beaumont and Fletcher, and, apparently, by English

bibliographers, the folio of 1679 being presumed to be 'Ed. 7.' The

knowledge that a copy existed in America led to a fruitless search for it

in English libraries, until accident, a few months ago, brought one to

light in time to enable a collation of its text to be included in the

above notes. It will be seen that many of the readings are of considerable

interest.
