Note 90 — SCENE IV.
Reading edition
anno 89] “Both the quartos read ‘99;’ but Stow does not mention any very great storm in that year, although he has noticed one or two; whereas in the year 1589, he observes, that on ‘The 1st August, at night, was the greatest lightning and thunder that had, at any time, bin seene or heard about London in the memory of any man living; and yet, thankes be given to God, little hurt heard of.’” Editor of 1816.—See Stow’s Annales, p. 757. ed. 1631.
