I have compared the Malone quarto in the Bodleian Library and find that the mistakes are identical. In other words, _The Roman Actor_ was carelessly printed. Nearly all the corrections made, alike of sense and punctuation, are improvements. The emendation at IV., 2, 28 reads like one made by the author. On the other hand, a careful study of IV., 2, 127 will reveal the fact that the writers sense has been mistaken, and the omission of grim in IV., 2, 242 spoils the rhythm. The curious thing is that the play is full of misprints, which have not been corrected_e.g._, III., 2, 143, Anaxerete (and in several other lines); line 154, Epethite, for epithet; 258, Heccuba. Take again IV., 2, 181: An e is inverted and not corrected; 188, bttchered stands for butchered; and 189, lacriledge for sacrilege.
