THE WORKS OF JOHN WEBSTER: WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE AUTHOR, AND NOTES, BY THE REV. ALEXANDER DYCE. A NEW EDITION, REVISED AND CORRECTED. LONDON: GEORGE ROUTLEDGE AND SONS, THE BROADWAY, LUDGATE. NEW YORK: 416, BROOME STREET. 1877. NOTICE. In this re-impression of Webster's Works (which were first collected and edited by me in 1830) I have considerably altered both the Text and Notes throughout, and made some slight additions to the Memoir of the poet. I have also excluded from the present edition a worthless drama, which I too hastily admitted into the former one, The Thracian Wonder; for though it was published by Kirkman as "written by John Webster and William Rowley," internal evidence decides that Webster could no more have had a hand in it than in another play called The Weakest goeth to the Wall, a portion of which is ignorantly ascribed to him by Phillips: see p. xv., note. DECEMBER, 1857. A. DYCE. |
