 The original of this facsimile is in the British Museum 
 {Press-mark^ C. 34, b. 25). 
 
 ^'-facob and Esau'' was licensed in 1557-8, and was 
 probably printed soon afterwards, so that the 1568 edition 
 is not likely to be the first one, but no other impression is 
 extant. Other copies of this play are at Chatsworth and 
 Bridgewater House. 
 
 " Jacob and Esau " was first reprinted in modern times 
 by Hazlitt in his edition of ''■ Dodsleys Old Plays,'' but 
 never before now in facsimile. 
 
 Mr. y. A. Herbert, of the Manuscript Department of 
 the British Museum, after comparing this reproduction with 
 the original copy, reports it to be " a first-rate facsimile, 
 practically faultless'' Special points of criticism are : — 
 
 (i) T5»j\ verso, foot of page, the "j" of ''Actus" is 
 more blurred than in original. 
 
 (2) C»iy« verso, line 28, last word, rather clearer in 
 original, "pott0." 
 
 (3) J^Jm recto, line 11, the stroke under " appSCdilED " 
 
 is not in original.
