The Alterations in the following Play are few, except in the last act; the Design was to clear the Original as much as possible, from the Jingle and Quibble which were always thought a great Objection to performing it.

When this Play was reviv'd two Winters ago, it was generally thought, that the sudden Change of Romeo's Love from Rosaline to Juliet was a Blemish in his Character, and therefore it is to be hop'd that an Alteration in that Particular will be excus'd; the only Merit that is claim'd from it is, that it is done with as little Injury to the Original as possible.
