Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 4: Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, Etc.; July-December, 1857

These are, as nearly as possible, the very words in Wilkins's novel, with no omission of the slightest importance: moreover, the blank-verse is quite regular, which cannot be said of hundreds of lines in the play, as printed in 1609. I am convinced that the play was made up from notes, in many instances much more imperfect than those whio Wilkins employed for his novel - that the two short-hand writers were, as it were, running a race for priority - that Wilkins was first ready with his prose narrative; and consequently that it came out in 1608, while the play was not com pleted for ublication until some time afterwards.
