 | Two ways of dying for a husband. I. Dying to keep him, or Tortesa the usurer. II. Dying to lose him, or Bianca Visconti |  |
PREFACE.
The following Drama was produced last year at the National Theatre, New York, by James H. Wallack —himself playing Tortesa. To his most admirable personation of this character, and the care and skill with which it was brought out under his management, the Author feels that he is indebted for its flattering and signal success in his own country. At the moment of publication, Mr. Wallack is about to appear in it at the Surrey Theatre; and for its success, as far as the Actor can insure it, the Author has no fears. To the later tribunal, of the Reader's judgment, he commits it tremblingly.
London, 12th July, 1839.
