Reading edition
Winwood, ii. 54. Furnivall, Stubbes, 79*, tried in vain to identify a manuscript tract on the abusive attacks of players stated by Haslewood in Gentleman's Magazine (1816), lxxxvi. 1. 205, to be in the British Museum. Possibly it was Sloane MS. 3543, ff. 19ᵛ, 49, a Treatise Apologeticall for Huntinge, which refers to the 'taxation' of James on the stage for his love of sport; cf. R. Simpson in N. S. S. Trans. (1874), 375, and E. J. L. Scott in Athenaeum (1896), i. 756.
