Description: Excerpt from The Complete Works of John Lyly, Vol. 2: Now for the First Time Collected and Edited From the Earliest Quartos With Life, Bibliography, Essays, Notes and Index, Euphues and His England, the Plays Editions are referred to by the letter attached to them in the List of Editions, pp. 100 - 3; where no such letter is attached, by the date, actual or supposed, of the edition. The reading of the text is always that of A for Part I, or of M for Part II, unless otherwise specified. Where the reading of either of these appears in the footnotes, the reading adopted is that of the next edition (t in Part I, A in Part II) or of the earliest in which the error of A or M is corrected. Every footnote implies a collation of all the old editions down to 1636, except those marked with a dagger in the List, i. E. Except those of I585, I 587, 1605, 1606 of Part I, and of 1581-1592, 1605, 1613, of Part II, though for 1582 (g) of Part II I have reproduced the variations or omissions reported in Arber's text. For example, B or C - E attached to any variant or omission reported implies that all collated editions before and after B, or before C and after E, follow the reading of the text. Rest' after a symbol 0 rest, ' F rest implies the agreement of all subsequent editions with that denoted by the symbol. Before and after always relate to some word or words added, not to words merely substituted, nor to a mere transposition.
