Notes

 
[1]

The History of Henry Fielding (1918), III, 291-292.

[2]

A History of Early Eighteenth Century Drama (1929), p. 324.

[3]

The Monthly Chronicle (London, 1728-31), III, 128, 245.

[4]

I am indebted to the staff of the Folger for permission to consult these MSS. and to George W. Stone for assistance in using them.

[5]

"Bibliographical Note," BSA, XXXV (1941), 69.

[6]

Cross lists a copy of this issue at Yale, but the Yale library staff reports that there is no record of it.

[7]

Of the copies listed, I have seen: (i) DLC and MH (on film); (ii) CSmH (photostat of title-page); (iiia) CtY (on film), DFo, DLC, and NjP; (iiib) CtY (film of first gathering). For checking the distinguishing characteristics in the various other copies, I am indebted to the librarians of the collections noted.

[8]

Some Account of the English Stage from 1660-1830 (1832), III, 304.

[9]

Op. cit., I, 97.

Ibid., III, 292. Dr. William B. Todd has pointed out to me an additional advertisement for Rape Upon Rape in the London Evening-Post for June 23-25, as well as those for The Coffee-House Politician which are mentioned in the discussion of the later issues.

[11]

The NjP copy has an odd arrangement of chain lines: straight on A1 and at a marked angle on A4, and not perfectly matched at the top of A3 and A4. It is possible that this is the result of a crease on A4 caught in the binding; therefore, I have not accepted it as proof of cancellation.

[12]

I am indebted to Dr. Todd for this objection and for the suggestion of the alternative solution.
