Notes: "Since Leake is unlikely to have published two editions the same year ... it may be one of the fraudulent reprints circulated by Kirkman and his associates about 1661." " ... there does not appear to be much doubt on typographical grounds that this edition is some years later than [the 1652 edition]"--Greg.

In this edition, the title page has an illustration of 2 rows of 7 fleur-de-lis and "sold" and "sign" in the imprint. The earlier 1652 edition has a woodcut illustration of a crown, and "solde" and "signe" in the imprint.

The names of the theatres, and the authors' names, are enclosed in brackets on title page.
