to say. It is very evident from Taylor's remarks in his
Dedication "To all my loving adventurers, &c.," he had been accused by
the critics that he "_did undergo this project, either in malice, or
mockage of Master Benjamin Jonson_." It is quite certain that Taylor
lost no time in getting his "Pilgrimage" printed "at the charges of the
author" immediately on his return to London on the fifteenth of October
1618.]

[Footnote 32: TO ISLINGTON TO THE SIGN OF THE MAINDENHEAD.--This then
roadside Public-house, we are informed from recent enquiries, was
situate at the corner of Maiden Lane, Battle Bridge, now known as King's
Cross, from a statue of George IV.--a most execrable performance taken
down 1842. The "Old Pub" is turned into a gin palace, and named the
Victoria, while Maiden Lane--an ancient way leading from Battle Bridge
to Highgate Hill--is known now as York Road.]
[Footnote 33: GUY OF WARWICK.--There are several versions and editions of
this work. In the book of the Stationers' Company, John Trundle--he at
the sign of NO-BODY--on the 15th of January, 1619, entered "a play,
called the Life and Death of Guy Earl of Warwick, written by John Day
and Thomas Dekker." See Baker's Biog. Dram., page 274, vol. 2.--"Well,
if he read this with patience I'll be gelt, and troll ballads for Master
Trundle yonder, the rest of my mortality."--_Ben Jonson's_ Every Man in
his Humour, act i. sc. 2.]
