Notes
[1]
At a later date I propose to publish the results of a study of the five manuscripts of The State of Innocence, their order and relation to the Q1 text.
[2]
In his edition of Dryden's plays Montague Summers' collation (III, 490-504) indicates that this half-line appears in two of the three manuscripts which he consulted but is missing from Q1. In fact, the half-line is found in all five of the extant manuscripts, and it is present in the six copies of Q1 which I have collated. Doubtless Summers misread his notes.
[3]
These are surveyed by Fredson Bowers in "The Pirated Quarto of Dryden's State of Innocence," which follows in this volume.
