 Written by George Chapman 
 1605 
 
 This facsimile is from the B. M. copy : other examples are 
 at Bodley and at Trinity College, Cambridge. Halliwell mentions 
 three editions in the year 1605, Hazlitt says four, but Greg records 
 two only. 
 
 Ben Jonson and Marston appear to have had a hand with 
 Chapman in writing this play, which brought the authors into some 
 trouble on account of satirical reflections on the Scots followers of 
 James I. (see Bullen in D. N. B.). These allusions are to be found 
 in a few only of the extant copies. 
 
 The reproduction from the original copy is satisfactorily and 
 carefully done. Some of the pages are badly clipped. Where 
 these interfere with the text they will be given, in duplicate where 
 possible, in one of the volumes of ''Fragments."
