Transcriber's Note This transcription is based on scanned images posted by the Internet Archive from a copy made available by the University of California: archive.org/details/michaelhislostan00joneiala This copy is a 1920 reprint of the edition published in May 1896. In preparing this transcription, the copy held by the Library of Congress was also consulted. Images of this copy are posted at: archive.org/details/michaelhislostan01jone The LOC copy appears to be an advance proof submitted to secure copyright in the United States. The title page of the LOC copy was date-stamped on December 18, 1895, and the play opened in London in January 1896. Subsequent printings by Macmillan have a copyright date of 1895 and a date of publication of May 1896. The LOC copy was compared with the copy used in the transcription as well as a copy printed in 1896 held by the Robarts Library at the University of Toronto and posted at: archive.org/details/michaelandhislos00joneuoft The pagination of the LOC copy and the other consulted copies is essentially the same. The differences between the LOC copy and the play as subsequently printed by Macmillan include: - The "Preface" and "Author's Note" were added to the 1896 edition. - On p. 1 of the LOC copy, the stage direction reads: "_showing to the right part of Cleveheddon Minster in ruins._" In the 1896 edition, "_a_" has been inserted before "_part_". - On p. 5 of the LOC copy, the stage direction reads: "_supported by a Protestant sister._ In the 1896 edition, the words "_a Protestant_" have been changed to "_an Anglican_". - On p. 6 of the LOC copy, a line of Michael's reads: "Those of you who have been moved by all the awful lesson of this morning. . ." In the 1896 edition, "all" has been deleted. - On p. 29, at the end of Act I, after the line "Your bad angel has kissed your good angel," the following stage direction was added to the 1896 edition: "(_A mock curtsey to him._)" - On p. 45, Audrie's line "He kicked her on the eye. . ." in the LOC copy was changed to "He kicked her on the nose. . ." in the 1896 edition. - On p. 53, the tableau at the end of Act II is different. In the LOC copy, the stage direction reads "(_Takes both her hands in his, very slowly._)" and Michael repeats the line "No boat will come to-night!" followed by "VERY SLOW CURTAIN." In the 1896 edition, the stage direction reads "(_They stand looking at each other._)" followed by "VERY SLOW CURTAIN."
