139. See extracts from will of Thomas Baker, in his Memoirs. By Dr. R. Masters. 1774. As bearing upon our comments on Baker's manuscript these words from Rose's Biographical Dictionary merit attention: 'There is scarcely a work in the department of English History, Biography, and Antiquities that appeared in his time in which we do not find acknowledgments of the assistance which had been received from Mr. Baker.' The works referred to in his list need scrutiny. 140. Kyd's letter and the whole story of this alleged intimacy with Marlowe will be found in the Introduction to The Works of Kyd, edited, by Professor F. S. Boas, 1901. 141.

The name of Anthony Marlowe, otherwise Marler, frequently occurs in connection with Government contracts in the Acts of the Privy Council, and many other records of the Elizabethan period. Stowe mentions that he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of William Gonston, Treasurer of the Marine Causes, and that his arms were 'argent, a chevron purpure; in the dexter canton an escallop, sable.' 149.

Chapman's Epistle Dedicatory to his continuation of Hero and Leander appeared only in the 1598 edition. He tells Lady Walsingham, referring to Blunt's dedication of the first part (Marlowe's) of the poem to her husband, 'This poor Dedication (in figure of the other unity betwixt Sir Thomas and yourself) hath rejoined you with him, my still honoured best friend; whose continuance of ancient kindness to my obscured estate, though it cannot increase my love to him which hath been entirely circular; yet shall it encourage my deserts to their utmost requital, and make my hearty gratitude speak.' 155. Petowe's continuation of Hero and Leander was published in 1598. 156. Ben Jonson quoted, evidently from memory, several lines from Hero and Leander in Every Man in his Humour, and is reported, in The Chast and Lost Lovers, 1651, to have said that Marlowe's mighty lines 'were examples fitter for admiration than parallel.' 157.

Compare such lines as these from The Pilgrimage to Par nassus: 'Though I foreknew that gold runs to the boor, I'll be a scholar though I live but poor.' Lines 465, 470, and 482 are from Hero and Leander, published in 1598, although, as already stated, entered on the Stationers' Books soon after Marlowe's death in 1593. The Pilgrimage, although not published until 1606, was written and recited apparently six or seven years earlier. 162 and 163. Memoirs of T. Baker. By R. Masters. In his will Baker states of those MSS. (now in the British Museum) that 'twenty volumes in folio of my own handwriting . . . were conveyed to him,' i.e. to Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford. 164 and 164a. To refute Warton's assertion, in his History of English Poetry, that' Marlowe had no systematic disbelief of religion, and that the Puritans had construed his slight scepticism into absolute atheism,' Ritson, in his coarse Observations on that work, referred to the Baine's libel in the Harleian MSS. Ritson referred to MS. 6853, but that Professor Boas refers to is Ms. 6848. The 'Disputation' bears the latter number also, whilst the 'Kyd' letter is numbered 6849. The paging of these MSS. has been altered recently at the British Museum. 165. The Freemen of Canterbury, 1903, and the Register of St. George, the Martyr, Canterbury. Both edited by J. M.

THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE COMPILED BY JOHN H. INGRAM THIS is the first Bibliography that has ever been published of the Works of Christopher Marlowe. It cannot be expected that it is exhaustive, but it will afford a good basis for any further effort in the same direction. Some of the items included may be deemed to be of little value, but it is very difficult to determine where and in what respect a publication may become useful, either to the bibliographer or general inquirer. Amongst the many works which have been consulted during the compilation of this section of the book grateful notice may be drawn to Mr. W. Heinemann's Bibliography of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus; to the very useful Indices to Periodicals issued by The Review of Reviews, and-above all, for their valuable references to review and magazine articles published during the last century-to those most useful aids to students, the Indices to Periodical Literature issued by Dr. W. F. Poole, the pioneer of such publications, and by his collaborator, Mr. W. J. Fletcher, M.A., etc. COLLECTED WORKS THE WORKS OF MARLOWE. Edited, with a Life of the Author, by E. G.
