Note 8 — A. H. BULLEN, B.A.
Reading edition
In the epigram he refers to the nom de plume “Kinsayder” which Marston had adopted, and we learn that it was derived from the “kinsing” (cutting the tails?) of dogs. It is to be noticed that the name “Kinsayder” does not occur in the Pygmalion volume. The dedicatory verses to “The World’s Mighty Monarch, Good Opinion,” are merely subscribed with the initials “W. K.” We first find the full name “W. Kinsayder” in the address “To those that seem judicial perusers,” prefixed to The Scourge of Villainy.
