Of the Quiney children, above named, the 1st (Shakespeare), d. in infancy; the 2d (Richard Quiney), d. without issue, in 1638; the 3d (Thomas Quiney), died the same year, 1638--also without issue. [23] The extreme limits of his life and career would probably lie between 1575 and 1635; _Strahan’s Biographical Dictionary_ of the last century makes no mention of him; nor does the _Biographie Universelle_ of as early date. [24] Works of John Webster; with some account of the Author, and Notes, by Rev. A. Dyce (original edition, 1830). [25] Ford, b. about 1586, and d. 1640. Works edited by Gifford; revised, with Dyce’s notes, 1869. [26] John Marston, b. 1565 (?); d. about 1634; believed to have been a Shropshire man, and one while of Brasenose College, Oxford. [27] Philip Massinger, b. 1584; d. 1640. His works were edited by Gifford, and on this edition is based the later one of Col. Cunningham (1870). [28] “The Duke of Milan.” [29] John Fletcher, b. 1579; d. 1625. Francis Beaumont, son of Sir Francis Beaumont, b. (probably) 1585; d. 1616. [30] Aubrey, who died in 1697, and who is often cited, was an antiquary--not always to be relied upon--an Oxford man, friend of Thomas Hobbes, was heir to sundry country estates, which, through defective titles, involved him in suits, that brought him to grief. He was a diligent collector of “whim-whams”--very credulous; supplied Anthony à Wood (1632-1695) with much of his questionable material; and kept up friendly relations with a great many cultivated and literary people. [31] From the “Nice Valour or the Passionate Madman.” By Seward this comedy is ascribed to Beaumont.
