Note

"Mr. Willkes" is commonly regarded as a pseudonym of Samuel Derrick, as a result of the entries in Robert Watt's 'Bibliotheca Britannica' (Edinburgh and London, 1824) and Halkett & Laing, but in fact by Thomas Wilkes (cf. Miller, William Hubert. "The authorship of A general view of the stage." Modern language notes 56, no. 8 (1941): 612-614).

Uncontrolled note

P.80 misnumbered 82; p.83 is correctly numbered
