Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of John Webster, Vol. 1
He is said, I imagine, to have been a member of the Merchant Tailors' Company because one of his pieces, (to be noticed after wards, ) me Monument of Honour, bears on its title-page By John Webster, Taylor. It was of course desirable that the Court Books of the Merchant Tailors' Company should be examined; and the important in formation, illustrative of personal history, which is afforded by wills, was too obvious not to cause a search to be made in Doc tors' Commons. Although something has been found in both places, which perhaps relates to the poet, or to his family, it is impossible to identify him with any of the individuals of whom notices have been discovered in those registers.
