 THOMAS HUGHES AND OTHERS 
 
 1587 
 
 The title-page, the introductory lines, and the notice on 
 title-sheet 4 verso, give sundry items of information as to the 
 circumstances of production and publication, especially with reference 
 to " cancels.'' One of the latter, in the B.M. binding of the 
 work, has been so left as to fold back, showing the original lines ; 
 and, when in place, the revised reading [see B 4 recto and the 
 duplicate page at end of this facsimile). 
 
 Hughes was assisted by seven others — William Fulbecke 
 with two speeches; Nicholas Trotte with an introduction ; Francis 
 Flower with the Choruses in Acts I. and II. ; Christopher Yelverton, 
 Francis Bacon, and John Lancaster (who superintended the Dumb 
 Shows) and M. Penroodocke (who directed the representation). 
 
 Mr. J. A. Herbert, of the Manuscripts Department of the 
 British Museum, after comparing this facsimile with the original, 
 says : " Many pages are first-rate, and the whole is good. . . . 
 I suppose the extremely minute type tnakes a difficulty, the slightest 
 excess producing so much more effect than in type of ordinary 
 
 size.
