The six Initial designs drawn by Lady Huggins have been in each 

 case'suggested by a leading idea in the Addresses which they severally 

 introduce. 



The Initial design at the beginning of the Fourth Address consists 

 of a Sketch Map of part of London c. 1600, showing the Globe 

 Theatre of Shakespeare, which, built in 1594, was burnt down in 1613. 

 The Map is based upon the following authorities : 



1. London, 1543. A. van den Wyngrerde. 



2. ,, 1560-1570. Ralph Agas. 



3. 1593- P- Vanden Keere, in Speculum Britannia, by^John 



Norden. 



4. 1604. A. Ryther (Chronicles of London. C. L. Kingsford.) 



5. 1610. J. Hondius (?) in J. Speed's Theatre of G. Britaine and 



Ireland. 



6. ,, 1616. N. Visscher. 



7. 1647. W. Hollar. 



8. 1658. W. Faithorne. 



9. ,, Stow's Survey, ist Edition ; and History of English Dramatic 



Poetry and Annals of the Stage, by J. P. Collier. 



The Bear-baiting House is shown in its earlier form, though by 1600 

 it had probably been rebuilt in close resemblance to the Globe Theatre, 

 and provided with a movable stage, so that occasionally plays could 

 be acted in it.
