stationer_additional_notes: Greg writes, "This piece is bibliographically independent, and the advertisements that occur both before and after it in the collection serve to emphasize the fact. ... It would appear, therefore, that this single piece was meant to be issued separately in advance of the collection. On the other hand, the date on the title, 1659, shows that it was actually printed later than the other four plays, which are all dated 1658; and since the collection appears to have been on the market by January ..., there can have been little time for previous issue; moreover, the fact that no copies have been met with apart from the collection makes it unlikely that any such independent issue was made" (<i>Bibliography</i>, 2:909).
