It was not thought necessary to give more than very brief notices of plays by well-known authors, whose works have been collected' by competent editors, such as those of Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Massinger, Beaumont and Fletcher, and others. This work is not intended to supply the place of the valuable introductions of Gifford, Dyce, or Collier but rather to furnish brief useful notes respecting the miscellaneous early English dramas.
