 Date of the first known edition, i594- 
 
 {Dyce Collection at S. Kensington.)

 1594- 
 
 This play is reproduced from an original now in the Dyce 
 Collection at South Kensington. The British Museum example 
 is a much poorer copy. Indeed^ play for play, the Dyce hooks 
 are usually far and away superior in every way as corn-pared 
 with B.M. copies. For this reason, though the cost of repro- 
 duction is considerably enhanced thereby, and also in spite of the 
 fact that there is no proper studio at South Kensington, as at the 
 Museum, Mr. Fleming at my request rightly chooses the Dyce 
 Bequest copies. There is another exam-ple in the Bodleian at 
 Oxford. 
 
 The " Knack to Know a Knave " was probably written 
 in 1592. 
 
 Comparing this facsimile with the original, there is nothing 
 that calls for special remark; the reproduction is generally and 
 uniformly good.
