he Incomparable Mrs. BEHN_, an entirely worthless composition of some three pages, afterwards vastly expanded into _Memoirs_ 'by one of the Fair Sex'. p. 316, l. 21 _The narrow Virtues ... [which] were._ 4to 1696 omits 'which' but it is necessary that this or some similar word be inserted to make the paragraph sufficiently grammatical. +Prologue+ p. 319, l. 9 _an Intriguer._ 4to 1696 'the intrigues'. p. 319, l. 17 _Mistress young._ 4to 1696 erroneously gives 'young' as a proper name 'Mistress Young'. +Dramatis Personae+ p. 321 _Dramatis Personae._ I have added 'Philip; Diana; Pages, Footmen, Masqueraders, Servants, Rakehells, &c.' 4to 1696 spells Britton 'Brittone'; Mr. Pinketham 'Mr. Pinkerman.' Powell is indifferently spelt 'Powell' or 'Powel'. +ACT I: Scene i+ p. 327, l. 2 _he._ 4to 1696 omits. p. 327, l. 7 _Prince._ Here and in ll. 11 and 19 all former editions give speech-prefix 'Fred', but afterwards uniformly 'Prince' throughout the play. p. 329, l. 31 _a._ 4to 1696 omits. p. 329, l. 34 _Tablets_: 4to 1696 gives 'Tablets write:' which is obviously a misprint for 'Tablets written:' or, perhaps, 'Tablets writ'. +ACT I: Scene ii+ p. 330, l. 23 _Caudle._ Here, and in the following line, 4to 1696 misprints 'Candle'. p. 332, l. 22 _set._ 1724 'sit'. p. 337, l. 7 _Sir Mer._ 4to 1696 misprints 'Sir Mark.' p. 337, l. 19 _George Kneels._ I have inserted 'George'. p. 337, l. 20 _Ay, Sir._ 4to 1696 marks this line 'Aside.' An obvious error. p. 338, l. 10 _Sir Rowland._ 4to 1696 'Sir Merlin'. p. 338, l. 16 _Chaplain [Mr. Twang], and leaning._ 4to 1696 'her Chaplain, and leaning'. I have inserted Twang's name and given in l. 19 speech-prefix 'Twang' which all former editions mark 'Chap.', altering, however, to 'Twang' later in this scene at 'Truly, Madam'. p. 339, l. 20 _cuckold._ 4to 1696 'Cuckhold'. p. 339, l. 34 _The End of the First Act._ Only in 4to 1696. +ACT II: Scene i+ p. 340, l. 2 _Sir Rowland's Lodging._ I have supplied this locale. p. 340, l. 29 _Lookye._ 4to 1696 has '(Alone.) Lookye'--an obvious error. '(Alone.)' is probably a misprint for '(Aloud.)' which is of itself quite unnecessary. p. 341, l. 13 _Hearts._ 4to 1696 'Heats'. p. 342, l. 3 _'twill._ 4to 1696 'will'. p. 342, l. 19 _India._ 4to 1696 'Indian'. +ACT II: Scene ii+ p. 343, l. 13 _A Chamber._ I have s
