Of this Play, A FINISHED COPY was, a few years ago, sent from Dublin, for the purpose of introducing it on an English Stage. That design, through some neglect, not taking place, it was resolved to insert the Play in this Collection: but when the FINISHED COPY was demanded, “it could not be found.”
A long and severe illness having rendered the Author incapable of attending to this publication, the person to whose care it has been confided, can print the Play only from an old and unfinished copy; in which, however, he thinks, there is a degree of merit that entitles it to preservation.
