"The novella" and "The court begger" each have separate dated title page; register is continuous. "The city wit" (Wing B4866) and "The damoiselle" (Wing B4868) each have separate register and dated title page with "printed by T.R." in imprint. There is no indication that the latter two plays were ever issued separately, though they are sometimes found so (Greg)
