It is to be noted that doctors are common also in Fletcher, the reason being that there are so many duels, and unexpected recoveries, in that author. Thus, the surgeon diets the Duke of Sesse in _The Double Marriage_ (II., 4); and in the same play the doctor plays tricks on Castruccio’s food (V., 1). In _The Sea Voyage_ (III., 1) the surgeon is introduced merely to make fun of his apparatus. Doctors, chirurgeons, and apothecaries appear in fifteen of the plays of Beaumont and Fletcher. The same remark applies to Webster; _cf._ _The Duchess of Malfi_, _The White Devil_, and especially _The Devil’s Law-case_. _ 295 Henry VIII_, I., 1, 75; I., 2, 42; III., 2, 171. 296 II., 3, 42 and 72; III., 2, 305, 307, 353. 297 II., 3, 93. 298 III., 2, 37; _cf._ III., 4, 69. Beaumont observes a similar strictness. _ 299 E.g._, I., 1; III., 2. _ 300 E.g._, III., 2, 336; IV., 2, 73; V., 4, 172. 301 II., 1, 88-94. 302 II., 2, 143. 303 III., 2, 297-8. 304 III., 2, 365. _ 305 E.g._, I., 1, 39-44; II., 3, 13-16, 18-22, 32; II., 4, 70-73, 78, 79, 129, 130; IV., 1, 56-59; V., 1, 2-5, 11-16, 36; V., 3, 1012, 20-31, 43-45. 306 IV., 2, 45. 307 V., 3, 10. 308 II., 4, 238. 309 III., 2, 447. 310 IV., 1, 103. _ 311 Cf._ II., 3, 77; III., 2, 50—both instances of the method of anticipation referred to above. 312 II., 1, 88. 313 III., 2, 393. 314 IV., 2, 125. 315 Thus Gardiner’s dislike of Anne Boleyn (V., 1, 22) is true to history, though artistically a blemish on the play, because redundant. The way in which in IV., 1, and elsewhere, historical details are dragged in is quite unlike Massinger, and very like Shakspere. _Cf._ lines 17-19, 24-29, 38-42, 47-49, 51, 52, 101-103. _ 316 New Shakspere Society’s Transactions_, 1880-86, xxi. 317 See Discussion on January 16th, 1885. _ 318 Ibid._, p. 447.
