594PRINTED BY WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS.

Transcriber’s Note

There was no opening half-title in the source used to prepare this text.

The two column table of contents for each chapter is retained. Since the contents of Chapters II & V were split by a page break, the left column of the second page followed the right column of the preceding page. These have been reorganized as they would have been had they fit on a single page.

Only the validity of index references to footnotes have been checked. A number of them, listed below, were incorrect.

Index Notes

1: Arte Nuevo de Hacer Comedias refers to a note on p. 50, but there is no mention there.

2: Camoens refers to a note on p. 553, but there is no mention.

3: Cotin should refer to the text on p. 287 not to a note.

4: Courthope refers incorrectly to a note on p. 444. It should be p. 449

5: Crescimbeni references a non-existent note on p. 218.

6 De Vulgari Eloquio references a note on p 40. The nearest mention is in the text of p. 38.

7 John Dennis references a note p. 387, but should have been p. 278.

8 Donatus references notes on p. 48 which do not seem pertinent.

9: Herr Hamelius, refers to a note, apparently out of order, which should be p. 432, not p. 452.

10 Keble mentions a note on p. 312, where he is not mentioned. The same note is referenced in the entry for Prælections Academicæ.

11: La Casa should refer to the text on p. 540, not to a note.

12: Roman de la Rose refers a non-existent note. It is mentioned at p. 110n, p. 281, and p. 334.

13: Romeo and Juliet has no references. The sole reference appears on p. 512.

14: Professor Scott refers to a note on p. 519. The note appears on p. 319.

15: Syphilis should refer to the text on p. 44, not to a note there.

16: P.G. Thomas refers to a note on p. 18. The sole reference is to a note on p. 20.

17: Venice Preserved has no references. It is mentioned on p. 442.
