A
Knack to Hnofy a Knabe.

1594.

This play is reproduced from an original now in the Dyce
Collection at South Kensington. The British Museum example
as a much poorer copy. Indeed, play for play, the Dyce books
are usually far and away superior in every way as compared
with B.M. copies. For this reason, though the cost of repro-
duction is considerably enhanced thereby, and also in spite of the
fact that there is no proper studio at South Kensington, as at the
Museum, Mr. Fleming at my request rightly chooses the Dyce
Bequest copies. There 1s another example in the Bodleian at
Oxford.

The “ Knack to Know a Knave” was probably written
im 1592.

Comparing this facsimile with the original, there is nothing
that calls for special remark; the reproduction is generally and

uniformly good.
