Note

An unauthorized edition, edited by Francis Atterbury, which is condemned in the prefatory note to Waller's "The maid's tragedy altered", 1690 (Wing W502).

In this edition, the title page is in red and black.

"The maid's tragedy altered" is only a fragment, probably intended by Waller to form a new act V, transforming Beaumont and Fletcher's tragedy into a comedy.

With a preliminary imprimatur leaf.
