1631. A. M., sold by Richard Thrale.

Editions in O. E. D. (1830, i) and Dodsley^4, x (1875), and by J. S. Farmer (1911, T. F. T.), W. W. Greg (1912, M. S. R.), and A. C. Baugh, (1917). The evidence for Haughton's evidence is in two payments in Henslowe's diary of 18 Feb. and early in May 1598 on behalf of the Admiral's. The sum of these is only £2, but it seems possible that at least one, and perhaps more than one, other payment was made for the book in 1597 (cf. Henslowe, ii. 191).

Patient Grissell. 1599 With Chettle and Dekker (q.v.).
