V.iii.151 (479,3)

_Alb._ Save him, save him!

_Gon._ This is mere practice, Glo'ster]

He desired that Edmund's life might be spared at present, only to obtain

his confession, and to convict him openly by his own letter.

V.iii.166 (480,6) Let us exchange charity] Our author by negligence

V.iii. 204-221 (481,2) [Edg;.--This would have seem'd a period] The

mentions Kent, seems to require the lines which are inserted from the

first edition in the foregoing scene.
