General notes
Each play has separate title page "To the reader" contains a discussion of the use of rhyme in dramatic verse, which occasioned Dryden's Essay of dramatick poesie. Howard replied in the preface to "The great favourite, or, The Duke of Lerma." "The Indian queen" is partly by Dryden. Cf. DNB Microopaque only contains "The surprisal" and "The committee"
