- Works of F. Beaumont and J. Fletcher: collated with all the former editions and corrected, with notes critical andexplanatory by Mr. Theobald, Mr. Seward and Mr. Sympson. 1750, London: J. & R. Tonson & S. Draper in the Strand.
- Dioclesian [Prophetess]; brewis (added in 1773 Dict., in vol. 6 of the title above) [BKG Note: None of the plays in the title above appear to be attributed specifically to Beaumont or Fletcher. The Prophetess is now thought to be a collaboration of Fletcher and Messinger, adapted by Betterton as the opera The Prophetess or, the Life of Dioclesian. The Dict. quotation reads "ocean" and the text reads "inundation" in both the play and the opera so the quotation may be from memory.]
- Scornful Lady (vol.1 of title above); gord (per Warburton note in Shakespeare's MW of Windsor; Warburton in 1747 was using an earlier edition; gords was changed to coggs in the 1750 edition)
- Beaumont and Fletcher (no work cited); wire [BKG Note: incorrectly attributed in 1755 and 1773 Dict.: should be John Cleaveland, The Antiplatonick.]
