Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare's History of the Life and Death of King John
Mathewes for Thomas Dewe, and brought out in 1622, it was ascribed to W. Shakespeare. This was doubtless a mere trick of the publishers to help the sale of the book, as the style proves conclusively that Shakespeare had no part in its authorship.
