"To the reader" contains a discussion of the use of rhyme in dramatic verse, which occasioned Dryden's Essay of dramatick poesie. Howard replied in the preface to "The great favourite, or, The Duke of Lerma."

"The Indian queen" is partly by Dryden. Cf. DNB.

"Imprimatur, March 7, 1664/5. Roger L'Estrange"
