Book Description

Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Beaumont and Fletcher, Vol. 1 of 3: Printed From the Text, and With the Notes of the Late George Colman, Esq. Our authors, 'tis true, take up articles in two dictionaries, but these contain little more than remarks on their dramatic performances. Believing therefore that the no account, of the following Preface, contains as good an account of our authors as an can be given, 1 submit it to the reader pure and unmix d, as it came out of the editor's ham 3, without any alteration or interpolation at all, only striking out a long quotation m a very imperfect answer of Mr. Dryden s to the objections made inst Shakespeare an our authors by Mr. Rhymer.
