p. 86, l. 10 _Exeunt._ 1724 wrongly ‘exit’. Act V: Scene i p. 86, l. 12 _Blunt’s Chamber._ 4tos ‘Chamber’. 1724, 1735, ‘Room’. p. 86, l. 13 _as at his Chamber-door._ 1724, 1735, omit ‘as’. p. 87, l. 20 _and Belvile’s Page._ I have added this entrance which 4tos and 1724 omit, as late in the scene an exit is marked for the page. p. 97, l. 3 _Hah! Angelica!_ 4to 1677 mistakenly marks this speech before the stage direction. p. 97, l. 4 _What Devil._ 1724, 1735 ‘What the Devil’, which weakens the whole passage. p. 107 _Post-Script._ This is only given in the first 4to (1677). 438 Notes: Critical And Explanatory. Rover I. Prologue p. 7 _Rabel’s Drops._ Monsieur Rabell, as he is sometimes termed, was a famous empiric of the day. A description of his medicaments may be found in ‘_Pharmacopoeia Bateana_; or, Bate’s Dispensatory. Edited by William Salmon, London, 1700.’ Rabell’s name occurs on the title-page of this book, and in Section VI of the Preface Rabell’s ‘Styptick Drops’ are alluded to as having been added to the recipes found in the original volume by G. Bate. An account of the manufacture and use of this particular remedy appears in the same volume, Lib. I, chap. x, under ‘Sal Stypticum Rabelli’. Salmon, who edited this pharmacopoeia, was himself an irregular practitioner of some notoriety. He took part in the great controversy with the doctors which raged about 1698 and earlier. He finds a sorry place in Garth’s _Dispensary_, canto III, l. 6, wherein his works are alluded to as ‘blessed opiates’. p. 8 _Cits in May-day Coaches._ On May-day it was the custom for all sorts and conditions of persons and pleasure parties to visit Hyde Park in coaches or at least on horse-back, cf. Pepys _Diary_, 1 May, 1663: ‘We all took horse, and I ... rode, with some trouble, through the fields, and then Holborn, etc., towards Hyde Park, whither all the world, I think, are going; ... there being people of all sorts in coaches there, to some thousands.... By and by ... I rode home, coaches going in great crowds to the further end of the town almost.’ Dramatis Personæ
