Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthony Brewer's the Love-Sick King 1 d104. The present edition is printed from a copy in the Royal Library at The Hague. Before it was acquired for this collection it belonged to Frederic Perkins Esq. of Chipstead Place, Kent, whose bookplate is on the inside of the cover, and it formed part of the Bridgewater Library as is evident from a printed notice at the foot of the list of Dramatis Personae. The copy is a good one except that the binder has cut off too much at the lower edge, in consequence of which piece of Vandalism some words have become indistinct and others have been clipped off altogether. Dr. B. A. P. van Dam has kindly written out for me the bottom lines of every page from the copy in the British Museum (644 b.4), which, wherever this was necessary, I have printed enclosed in square brackets. Unfortunately, however, that copy has also suffered, slightly at the hands of the bookbinder. Of A 3 usurper only the tops are visible. Of B from, entire in the copy I have used, only the greater part of B and the top of the f of from have been spared. Only the tops of Har on B have escaped destruction. B 2 mous wants the lower part of the letters. B 3 under is so indistinct that Dr. van Dam reads A 3. I have printed B 3 with the addition of a mark of interrogation; of course the possibility of a misprint in the signature is not excluded, but where in one copy this signature is entirely wanting and in the other has dwindled down to little more than a dot I thought it safest to retain the B. The catchword on B 3 seems to be Thorn in the British Museum copy but may be Thor. as the same is sometimes written, e.g. F 2. The period after Alu on C 2 is very indistinct. ward on D 3 is entirely wanting in either copy. There is only a slight trace of G in the British Museum copy, and the catchword is wanting in both. On the whole the text is a good one, the number of misprints not being very great. The original has been scrupulously followed in all details, except that a modern s has been printed instead of the old-fashioned long f. At the end of this Introduction the reader will find a list of all the misprints occurring in the original except such as for some reason or other are mentioned in the notes.
