_In the following references to the text the lines are numbered
      from the top of the page, including titles, acts, stage
      directions, &c., but not, of course, the headline or mere
      'rules.' Where, as in the lists of Persons Represented,_
      _there are double columns, the right-hand column is numbered
      after the left._

It has not been thought necessary to record the correction of every
turned letter nor the substitution of marks of interrogation for marks
of exclamation and _vice versâ_. Full-stops have been silently inserted
at the ends of speeches and each fresh speaker has been given the
dignity of a fresh line: in the double-columned folio the speeches are
frequently run on. Misprints in the Quartos and the First Folio are
recorded when they appear to be interesting. A word or two from the
printed text is attached to the variants recorded below in cases where
the variant, by itself, would not be sufficiently clear.
