Excerpt from Demetrius and Enanthe, Being the Humorous Lieutenant: A Play
That the passages now first printed are genuine, there can be no doubt: by whom they were origi nally omitted, whether by the players or the editors,~-it is in vain to inquire. If by a strange and happy chance We were to discover Shakespeare's own manuscript copies of some of his finest pieces, we should perhaps find that similar sins of omis sion were to be charged on the persons who first consigned those dramas to the press,-dramas, which, though now regarded as miracles of human genius, their author seems to have composed with out an eye to the applauses of posterity; and, after they had served his immediate purpose, to have let drop from him with indifference, as the tree gives its blossoms to the wind.

Excerpt from Demetrius and Enanthe, Being the Humorous Lieutenant: A Play
The following piece, - the Humorous Lieutenant of Fletcher, under the title of Demetrius and Enanthe, - is printed verbatim et literatim from a transcript made by Ralph Crane for Sir Kenelm Digby. It is a beautiful specimen of penmanship, forming a thin quarto volume bound in gilded vellum; and has been preserved in the family of Williams of Penbedw in the county of Denbigh: it came into their possession by the marriage of Richard Williams, Esq. with the daughter and heiress of Richard Mostyn, Esq. of Penbedw, whose wife was Charlotta Theophila Digby, grand-daughter of Sir Kenelm: it now belongs to W. W. E. Wynne, Esq., to whose liberality the lovers of our early drama are indebted for its publication.
The Humorous Lieutenant was first given to the press in the folio edition of Beaumont and Fletcher, 1647.
