Note 37 — SOME ACCOUNT OF MIDDLETON AND HIS WORKS.
Reading edition
Life of Shakespeare (1821), p. 225. Drayton made great alterations in new editions of his poems: the “commendation” of Middleton may perhaps be found in the first impression of one of his numerous pieces, which I have not seen. The Life of Drayton, by Robert Bell, Esq., in a recently published volume of Lardner’s Cyclopædia, is a tissue of the most absurd mistakes.
