General notes

Edited by Ambrose Eccles There exist two states of Cymbeline printed in London "for C. Dilly, in the Poultry." One state has a dated title page; has a preliminary leaf A2 reading "This play ... " on the recto, and "A list of alterations..." on the verso; and has a cancel leaf L4 where the final line reads "a Saracen. Johnson." The other state has an undated title page; has no preliminary leaf A2; and has the original leaf L4, where the final line reads "Saracen. Johnson." Cymbeline may have been issued separately (see ESTC T190484) Volume 2 with a title page reading: "Cymbeline, a tragedy ... " Each volume with an appendix and corrigenda for the respective plays; Cymbeline with an additional line of corrigenda for Lear
