Notes

 
[1]

Quoted in W. W. Greg, "The Bakings of Betsy," The Library, 3d ser., II (1911), 232. For Warburton's list, see II, 230-232. All citations from Greg are from this source, unless otherwise specified. "The Bakings of Betsy" is reprinted, with corrections and added notes, in W. W. Greg, Collected Papers, ed. J. C. Maxwell (1966), pp. 48-74.

[2]

The supposed plays by Shakespeare are "Duke Humphery," "Henry ye 1st. by Will. Shakespear & Rob. Davenport," and "A Play by Will Shakespear."

[9]

The Widow's Prize, The Noble Choice, Alexias, The Judge, and The Great Man.

[10]

The Nobleman, which Warburton calls a tragicomedy, may be added as an eleventh case, because Moseley does not specify its type, and no one has supposed that Warburton saw a Register entry of 1612 which confirms that it was a tragicomedy.
