Notes about issue: This edition displays the typographical peculiarities that Bartlett ascribes to the second of the four undated quartos. (The fourth of these dates to around 1715 and is therefore not part of the Shakespeare Census; it can be distinguished from the other three by the fact that it collates A-G4 H2, instead of A-H4 like all the others, and by presence of a three-line note about the location of the scene beneath the Dramatis Personae, beginning: "SCENE, for the Three first Acts ..."). This edition can be distinguished from the others by the fact that pp. 46-47 are misnumbered 47-46. As in the third undated quarto, larger type was used to set C1v-C2r (pp. 18-19) and D2v-D2r (pp. 28-29).
