The original of this facsimile is in the British Museum (Press-mark, C. 34, b. 25).

" Jac ob and Esau" was licensed in 1557—8, and was probably printed soon afterwards, so that the 1568 edition is not likely to be the first one, but no other impression is extant. Other copies of this play are at Chatsworth and Bridgewater House.

" Jacob and Esau " was first reprinted in modern times by Hazlitt in his edition of " Dodsleys Old Plays" but never before now in facsimile.

Mr. y. A. Herbert, of the Manuscript Department of the British Museum, after comparing this reproduction with the original copy, reports it to be "a first-rate facsimile, practically faultless" Special points of criticism are : —

(1) 16»j» verso, foot of page, the "j" of " Actus" is more blurred than in original.

(2) C.itj» verso, line 28, last word, rather clearer in original, "pOttfc."

(3) JT.JM recto> lme !I> the stroke under " apparaileD M

is not in original.
