"Copies are frequently found with a leaf, containing lines 'To Mr. Dryden on his Play, Called, Truth Found Too Late' signed 'R. Duke.', inserted usually before the advertisement but sometimes among the preliminaries. Probably some copies were issued before that leaf was prepared"--Pforzheimer catalogue.
