Papers, p. 40: perhaps the upper ground was
near IT." cnrsory glance, at Mogg's map Of
London, or walk before breakfast on the Bankslde
in Southwark, would enable Mr.. Collier, we have
no doubt, to detect an Upper Ground street still
near the Surrey end of Blackfriars-bridge.
We have said that Henslowe's spelling is bad
some of it, indeed, is bad, that Winifred Jenkins
is at times outdone, in difficulties overcome. We
have Bergenden for Bear Garden carnocle for car
dinal, and Ponescones piHet for Pontus Plate. So
lngeniously out of the way is the spelling ofHens-
lowe and his scribes, that Mr.. Collier has, in one
place, made note upon difficulty OF his own crea-
ting Among the rents due to Henslowe for his lit
tie manor Of the Rose, he records the sum Of f3
| from "Ower Tyreman," and forty shilings from
Goody Seasy. "These," says Mr.. CsllIer, "were
most likely the rents of houses Immediately con-
! nected with the Rose ; and may perhaps, con-
| cude as certainly the with our fireman.
that the tenants were persons in some way employed
about the theatre" Over Tyreman's E3 is an en-
try of the rent due from the fireman, whose name
was Over. Thus we have, on the previous page
paid unto Mr. Over, and on the following page, a
heading entitled Mr.. Overs rentes. This however,
is trfng error just worth notice, and that is all.
The book abounds in and minute information,
and is edited by gentleman whose intimacy with
our stage history is only to be surpassed by who
had lived in Hensowes own time, associatng with
poets and players, and with old Philip Hensowe
himself
