For other abbreviations the Bibliography should be consulted.

=THE DIUELL IS AN ASSE. = 'Schlegel, seizing with great felicity upon
an untranslateable German idiom, called the play _Der dumme Teufel_
[Schlegel's _Werke_, ed. Bocking, 6. 340]--a title which must be
allowed to be twice as good as that of the English original. The
phrase 'the Devil is an ass' appears to have been proverbial.
