Original Comments on the preparation of the E-Text:
SQUARE BRACKETS:
The square brackets, i.e. [ ] are copied from the printed book, without change. The open [Exit brackets use in the book have been closed [by mh].
For this E-Text version of the book, the footnotes have been consolidated at the end of the play.
Numbering of the footnotes has been changed, and each footnote is given a unique identity in the form [XXX].
CHANGES TO THE TEXT:
Character names were expanded. For Example, SECOND SCHOLAR was SEC. SCHOL.
