1. Bentley, G. E. in The Profession of Dramatist in Shakespeare's Time (Princeton, 1971)Google Scholar touches on many of these questions, but in dealing with the entire period 1590–1642 he makes generalizations which over-simplify, and occasionally distort, the facts.

15. The exact nature of the relationship between Henslowe and the Admiral's men at this time is impossible to ascertain since Henslowe's method of book-keeping between January 24 and 5 November 1597, has not yet been satisfactorily interpreted.
16. Henslowe's sub-totals are entered on folios 48v, 50v, and 52 of the diary.
17. If we assume that the usual fee for a new play at this time was between £5 and £7, then payments of less that £4 probably represent money paid for unfinished plays or shorter writing assignments such as revision.
18. The attempts to bind Chettle and Porter to write only for the companies financed by Henslowe indicate the need to guarantee a supply of scripts.
