Notes
John Dennis, A Defense of Sir Fopling Flutter. In The Critical Works of John Dennis, ed. Edward Niles Hooker (1939-1943), II, 241.
Chancery Pleadings, Winter, 1714-58, No. 690; Chancery Decrees, 1722B, 30, 33, 114. Quoted in G. A. Aitken, "Steele's 'Conscious Lovers' and the Publishers," Athenaeum, 5 December 1891, p. 771.
G. A. Aitken, in The Life of Sir Richard Steele (1889), mentions one edition (II, 391]. The CBEL mentions two, as does Allardyce Nicoll in A History of Early Eighteenth Century Drama 1700-1750 (1925). A more serious attempt to identify the editions was made by Arthur E. Case in British Dramatists From Dryden to Sheridan (1939), pp. 934-35.
For a discussion of printing from standing type late in the century, see William B. Todd, "Recurrent Printing," SB, XII (1959), 189-98.
