[Transcriber's Notes:
1. The original text uses a "fraction" format for citations to
Shakespeare's plays, e.g.:
3
_Rom._ -----
5, 25
For clarity, in this e-text the "fractions" have been converted to a
one-line citation, e.g., _Rom._ III, v, 25 (signifying Act III, scene
v, line 25). Where the original does not use the fraction format, the
citation style has not been altered.
2. The original text sometimes misspells "Passamezzo" as "Passemezzo"
and "viol da gamba" as "viol de gamba." These have been corrected in
this e-text.
3. The original text inconsistently uses a breve over the e in
"Parthenia" and "Passameso." For clarity, the breve has been removed
in this e-text, as it is not part of the usual spelling of these
words, and has in fact been omitted from the 1931 revised edition of
the book.]
PREFACE
This book contains little that is not tolerably well known both to
Shakespeare scholars and musicians who have any acquaintance with the
history of music.
