NOTE.
The first collected edition of the plays of Beaumont and Fletcher was
published in 1647, in folio (12 1/2 ins. x 8 1/8 ins. is the measurement
of the copy used for the purpose of collation). The title-page runs
thus:--
Comedies | and | Tragedies |
{ Francis Beaumont }
|written by { And } Gentlemen. |
{ John Fletcher }
Never printed before, | And now published by
the Authours | Originall Copies. | _Si quid habent
veri Vatum praesagia, vivam.|London_, | Printed for
_Humphrey Robinson_, at the three _Pidgeons_, and for |
_Humphrey Moseley_ at the _Princes Armes in St Pauls_.

This collection, which is referred to as the First Folio throughout the
present edition, contained all the authors' previously unpublished plays
(34) except _The Wild-Goose Chase_, which, at the date of the Folio, was
supposed to be lost.
