<See 10 S. ix. 341, 401 ; x. 4, 84, 182, 262, 362, 444.)
ONLY once throughout his book does' 1 Allot quote his authority for a passage, and then in reference to lines copied from Thomas Hudson's ' Judith ' :
' 111 Companie,' p. 519.

I will now supply references for passages
that remain unidentified in Collier's edition
of ' Englands Parnassus,' omitting those
which have been traced by others than
myself. As much space would be occupied
if I quoted in full, I will content myself by
siting first lines or parts of lines, with the
signatures given by Allot. When the latter
are wrong, I will say so.
