p. 418, l. 6 _no more. [Weep._ 1724 omits 'Weep'.

p. 420, l. 32 _are here? [Exeunt._ 4tos and 1724 omit 'Exeunt'.

I supply this as, obviously, these characters must leave the stage when the Prentices rush on.

+Dedication+

p. 337 _To the Right n.o.ble Henry Fitzroy._ Second son of Charles II by Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine, afterwards d.u.c.h.ess of Cleveland, was born 20 September, 1663. He married, 1 August, 1672, Isabella, daughter and heiress of Henry Bennet, Earl of Arlington.

The bride was then only five years old. In September, 1675, Henry Fitzroy was created Duke of Grafton, and on 30 September, 1680, was installed by proxy as Knight of the Garter. In 1682 he became colonel of the first foot guards. He died 9 October, 1690, from a wound he received under the walls of Cork during Marlborough's expedition to Ireland. Brave and even reckless to a fault, he is said to have been the most popular and the ablest of the sons of Charles II.

+Prologue+
