LOVE'S LABOUR’S LOST.

I have not hitherto discovered any novel on which this comedy appears to have been founded ; and yet the story of it has most of the features of an ancient romance. STEEVENS.

I suspect that there is an error in the title of this play, which, I believe, should be—“ Love's Labours Lost.” M. Mason.

Love's Labour's Lost, I conjecture to have been written in 1594. MALONE.
