P. 2: 21-22. _Yet ... Liberty._ The press regained its liberty through the expiry of the Licensing Act in 1679. This passage does not occur in _PC_ and may be one of the "Ingenious Person's" additions to _PdT_. P. 3: 28. _Cris-cros-row._ I.e., Christ-cross-row. The alphabet with a cross before it as represented in horn books. P. 4: 4. _Honourable stabs._ Perhaps a reference to the attack on Dryden in Rose Alley on 16 December 1679, which was popularly attributed to various honorable persons satirized in Mulgrave's _An Essay upon Satyr_. P. 4: 9-10. _Tho' ... Bays._ Cf. John Aubrey on the funeral of Samuel Butler on 27 September 1680: About 25 of his old acquaintance at his Funerall. I myself being one of the eldest, helped to carry the Pall. His coffin covered with black Bayes. (_Brief Lives_, ed. O. L. Dick [London, 1958], p. 47.) P. 6: 7. _As Tonnellers catch Partridge._ A tunnel was a kind of net used by bird-catchers. P. 6: 21-22. _As ... go._ Cf. Donne's "A Lame Begger," _The Satires, Epigrams and Verse Letters_, ed. W. Milgate (Oxford, 1969), p. 51. P. 6: 27. _BARBARA._ The opening word of a mnemonic used in expressing the moods of the syllogism. P. 7: 21. _Lab'ring Muses._ _PC_ has "tab'ring" (i.e., playing on tabors), a fairly clear case of _lectio difficilior_. P. 10: 6. _How a curst Broker met a Poet._ The earlier part of the description seems to be hinting at the distresses of John Banks, who was reduced to poverty after two of his plays met censorship trouble; however, the closing section on pp. 16-17 is clearly meant to refer to Wycherley. It is possible that this is another of the "Ingenious Person's" additions. Indeed it would have to be as Wycherley's troubles did not begin until after the date given for the departure of the Poeta. P. 10: 21. _White-Fryers._ The sanctuary area on the city side of the Temple: Shadwell's Alsatia. P. 12: 1-2. _half ... Temple-Bar._ I.e., Whitefriars. P. 12: 26. _Being Tragedy, and writ in Rhimes._ Dryden abandoned rhyme with _All for Love_ (1677). Cf. Elkanah Settle's complaint in the preface to _Ibrahim_ (licensed 4 May 1676): "Another misfortune the Play had, that it was written in Rhime, a way of writing very much out of Fashion...." P. 16: 9. _Where Bread and Cheese he said he'ld buy._ This detail has some resemblance to a circumstance in Shiels and Cibber's account of the death of Otway, which may derive from a mistaken belief that he was the subject of the passage. See R. G. Ham, _Otway and Lee_ (New Haven, 1931), p. 214. P. 16: 14. _One who would play at six-pence gleek._ The index of extravagance at gleek seems to have advanced alarmingly in the course of the seventeenth century. Jonson in _The Devil is an Ass_ (V, ii, 31) specifies three-pence; however, Shadwell in 1680 was already foreseeing a shilling (_Works_, ed. M. Summers, IV, 60). P. 16: 15. _Creswel's._ The famous bawdy house, finally closed down in 1681.
