less than four wrong references, and the weight of Mr. Magnus's argument for an attribution of the play to Udall is marred by such unaccountable misquotation of names as _Mengrade_ for _Merry-greek_ and _Mumblecourt_ for _Mumblecrust_ (both on page xxi.). Under the circumstances, and being unable to obtain access to the original manuscript, my own text must be taken for what it is ultimately proved. I have, of course, always given greater weight to the E.E.T.S. version, because it is the copy nearest to the original (the Brandl and Manly texts are copies of this copy), but in many cases Dr. Brandl and Professor Manly have done what service they could, and good service often, in suggested and amended readings and restorations. As no good purpose could, under the circumstances, have been served in dealing with all the minutiæ of this kind in an uncertain text, I have confined my remarks in this respect to the more important points raised. By punctuation, often and _in toto_, I differ from all three, jointly and severally; varying the interpretation. These I have noted. But one conclusion is obvious. The texts of these Macro plays as they stand are not all that scholars can desire; and it is to be hoped that permission may be obtained for a collotype facsimile of the whole of the plays. The cost would be great, but I have no doubt that consideration can be satisfactorily solved. _Corrigenda, Suggested Readings,_ _Restorations, etc._ [In the following pages the attributions are indicated by F = Early Eng. Text Society's Editors; M = Professor Manly; B = Dr. Brandl; and _Ed._ = the present editor.] The "Names of the players" do not appear in the original manuscript--"our _first_ creation" (3,_b_), original _syest_ or _syrst_ (F)--"to _have_ him revived" (3,_c_), original _hade_--"By _meditation_ of our Lady" (4,_a_), read _mediation_ (M)--"make his _avaunt_" (4,_b_), _a-vaunce_ in MS.--"that _venomous_ serpent" (4,_d_), original _vemynousse_--"leave your _calculation_" (5,_a_), _calcacyon_ in F.: I follow M and B in present reading--[_A leaf of_ _the manuscript, etc._] (6,_a_), in the manuscript the next speech is to Mercy, but I have followed Prof. Manly's suggestion, also quoted by Dr. Furnivall. He says: "These lines begin a new leaf in the MS. They seem highly inappropriate in the mouth of Mercy.... Moreover, it is clear from ["we three" (7,_a_), and "all three" (7,_c_)] that the entrance of New Gyse, Now-a-days, and Nought was immediately preceded by Mercy's use of the words forming their names. I therefore suppose that at least one leaf of MS. (containing their entrance) has been lost at this point, and suggest that the command to the minstrels be assigned to New Gyse"--"have traced somewhat _to fell_" (7,_a_), _to
