Excerpt from Restoration Comedies: The Parsons Wedding, the London Cuckolds,& Sir Courtly Nice, or It Cannot Be, With an Introduction Notes Above all have I been careful entirely to eschew that excess of superfluous and frequently incorrect stage directions, peppered haphazard throughout every scene, which is so serious a blemish upon many modern recensions of our old dramatists. Such obtrusive and unscholarly methods confuse and annoy the general reader; they render the text useless for the student; something worse than useless for the theatrical producer; and, in fine, with their rank wealth of cinematographic detail, they are the very death of all fancy and imagination. o Mr. G. Thorn-Drury, K. C., whose intimate and encyclopaedic knowledge of this wide period of English literature is certainly unparalleled, I owe most grateful thanks for the kindliest encouragement and the unwearied solving of not a few obscure and intricate questions that rose during the course of my researches. My work, moreover, was immensely facilitated throughout by the generous loan of many a rare piece from the treasure-house of his seemingly inexhaustible library. I received many helpful suggestions from Mr. W. J. Lawrence, to whose classic works I am, in common with all other writers upon the history of the English Theatre, continually and deeply indebted.
