I have added the locale. p. 418, l. 26 _the Street_. 1724 ‘a Street.’ p. 418, l. 27 _a Flambeaux_. This is the reading of both 4tos. 1724 ‘a Flambeau’. As Sir T.

I have numbered this scene. p. 420, l. 9 _Florinda_. I have inserted this name here and as speech-prefix instead of ‘Lady’.

Only in 4tos. p. 462, l. 19 _Pay_. 1724 ‘Play.’ p. 462, l. 29 _Bank_. 1724 ‘Rank’. NOTES: CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY. THE TOWN FOP. p. 15 _Mrs. Celinda Dresswell_. Dresswell was obviously the original name of Friendlove, and Mrs. Behn forgot to alter her MS. at this passage. The same oversight occurs later in the act when Bellmour says ’. must rely on Dresswell’s friendship,’ (p. 20).
