Dilke, _Old English Plays_ (1814) vol. III, p. 228, is probably right in considering that the entry is an error for that of 1646, which Baker does not mention.] =1691=, 4o. BUSSY D'AMBOIS OR THE HUSBANDS REVENGE. A TRAGEDY. As it is Acted at the Theatre Royal. Newly Revised by Mr. D'Urfey [quotation from the Satires of Horace]. London. Printed for R. Bently in Covent Garden, Jo. Hindmarsh over against the Royal Exchange, and Abel Roper at the Mitre near Temple Bar. =1814=, 8o. OLD ENGLISH PLAYS; being a selection from the early dramatic writers. [Volume III contains _Bussy D'Ambois_, together with _Monsieur D'Olive_, and Dekker's _The Wonder of a Kingdom_ and _Old Fortunatus_. A short life of Chapman is prefixed to _Bussy D'Ambois_. The text is that of the edition of 1641, in modernised spelling. The notes contain some of the variants in the Q of 1607, and explanations of many difficult phrases. The editor, though his name does not appear, was C. W. Dilke, afterwards editor of the _Athenaeum_, and grandfather of the present Sir C. W. Dilke.] =1873=, 8o. THE COMEDIES AND TRAGEDIES OF GEORGE CHAPMAN. Now first collected, with illustrative notes and a memoir of the author. In three volumes. London. John Pearson York Street Covent Garden. [Vol. II contains _Bussy D'Ambois_ and _The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois_, together with _Byron's Conspiracie and Tragedie_ and _May-Day_. The text of _Bussy D'Ambois_ is, where differences of reading occur, that of the edition of 1641, the variants of 1607 being given (with some inaccuracies) at the foot of the page. Otherwise the spelling of 1607 is followed, and the title-page of the 1607 Quarto is faultily reproduced. _The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois_ is reprinted from the 1613 Quarto, in the original spelling, and with a faulty reproduction of the title-page. The explanatory notes to both plays are very slight, but there is a valuable introductory memoir to vol. I, giving extracts from previous criticisms of Chapman.] =1874-5=, 8o. THE WORKS OF GEORGE CHAPMAN: edited with notes, by Richard Herne Shepherd. [Vol. I, Plays, vol. II, Homer's _Iliad_ and _Odyssey_, vol. III, Poems and Minor Translations, Chatto and Windus. An edition in modernised spelling, and with merely a sprinkling of notes. To vol. III is prefixed Mr. A. C. Swinburne's _Essay on the Poetical and Dramatic Works of George Chapman_, the finest and most comprehensive study of Chapman's writings.] =1895=, 8o. GEORGE
