"The maid's tragedy altered ... ", London, Printed for Jacob Tonson ..., 1690 has separate t.p. and pagination.
"Most of the following pieces, being unfinish'd, were never intended to be publish'd; but that a person, who had borrowed a manuscript copy of them, took upon him to print them. The copy from which they were printed, was very imperfect; and there being noe means left to suppress them, it was thought fit to suffer them to be more correctly printed from the last and truest copies."--Prefatory note of The maid's tragedy.
"The maid's tragedy" is only a fragment, probably intended by Waller to form a new act V, transforming Beaumont and Fletcher's tragedy into a comedy.
