To 1 This my Anſwer js ſhort; that tho it never till now made its Appearance on the Stage, yet one, of the Manuſcript Copies, Which I have, is of above Sixty Years Standing, in the Hand- writing ol Mr. Downes, the famous Old Promptet; and, as I am credibly inform'd, was early in the Poſſefſion of the gele- brated Mr. Berterton, and by Hit defign'd to have been ufher'd into the World. What Accident prevented This Purpoſe of his, I do not pretend to know: Or thro! what hands it had ſuc- I Cceffivzly paſs'd before that Period of Time. There is a Tradition ” (which I have from the Noble, Perſon, who ſupply'd me with 4 One of my Copies) that this Play was given by but Author, as a . Preſent of Value, to a Natural Daughter of his, for whoſe Sake he wrote it, in the Time of his Retirement from the" Rage: | | | IW L D. a > 1 1 N 1 Foy e Fs — Kn r — * I * ＋ 2 ” A = 1 * Y y : * ” — FFF Two other Copies I have, (one of which I was glad to pur- * r ˙——... e * a um I" —x 7. * - - 2 4 _ +. x” er \ » 38 1 * 4 3 N » bg Wes 5 e 3 = "= SP * : 79 4 = 1 & . — , a * > ” oY 4 1 8 — - * 8 2 24 o a.

Another Objection has been ſtarted, (which would carry much Wl re: more Weight with it, were it Fact;) that the Tale of this Play, on being built upon a Novel in Don Quixot, Chronology is againſt Ward 1 Us, and Shakeſpeare could not be the Author. But it happens, than 1 that the Firſt Part of Don Quixot, which contains the Novel Wud; Rr upon which the Tale of this Play ſeems to be built, was pub- Wean: He. liſh'd in the Year 1605, and our Shakeſpeare did not dye till April req: 4 1616; an Interval of no leſs than Eleven Years, and more than - ¶ mu [4 ſufficient for All that we want granted. to! | Others again, to depreciate the Affair, as they thought, have wo Iſt been pleaſed to urge, that tho' the Play may have ſome Reſem- I cate i blances of Shakeſpeare, yet the Colouring, Diction, and Chara- i be 38 &ers, come nearer to the Style and Manner of FLETCHER. Int. il. This, I think, is far from deſerving any Anſwer; I ſubmit it nei þ to the Determination of better Judgments; tho' my Partiality ¶ cru for Shakeſpeare makes me wiſh, that Every Thing which is licl good, or pleaſing, in that other great Poet, had been owing to ver his Pen. I had once deſign'd a Diſſertation to prove this Play bac to be of Shakeſpeare's Writing, from ſome of its remarkable Pe- ¶ ſta culiarities in the Language, and Nature of the Thoxghts: but iſ bo bl as I could not be ſure but that the Play might be attack'd, I no . found it adviſeable, upon ſecond Conſideration, to reſerve ra 14 * _ zhat Part to my Defence. That Danger, I think, is now over; Fr - | fo I mult look out for a better Occaſion. I am honour'd with fre ſo many powerful Sollicitations, preſſing Me to the Proſecution i w of an Attempt, which I have begun with ſome little Succeſs, of pr reſtoring BHAKESPEARE from the numerous Corruptions of th his Text: that I can neither in Gratitude, nor, good Manners, longer reſiſt them. I therefore think it not amiſs here to pro- w miſe, that, tho* private Property ſhould ſo far ſtand in my Way, th as to prevent me from putting out an Edition of Shakeſpeare, yet, Al ſome Way or other, if I live, the Publick ſhall receive from my Hand his whole Wo R Rs corrected, with my beſt Care and A- dility. This may furniſh an Occaſion for ſpeaking more at large concerning the preſent Play: For which Reaſon I ſhall now drop it for another Subject. | | As to the Performance of the reſpective Actors concern'd in this Play, my applauding It_ here would be altogether ſuper- fluous. The Publick has diſtinguiſh'd and given them a Praiſe, much. beyond Any that can flow from my Pen. But I have ſome particular Acknowledgments to make to the Managers k \ pur- ite ſo rfect, | much Play, gainſt pens, Jovel pub- April than have ſem- Hara- TER. nit it ality ch is 5 to lay e Pe- : but d, I ferve over; with .

They muſt certainly be too good Judges of. their own Intereſt, not to know that a Theatre cannot always ſubſiſt on old Stock, but that the Town requires Novelty at their Hands. On the other Hand, they muſt be ſo far Judges of their own Art and Profeſſion, as to know that all the Compoſitions, which are offer'd them, would never go down with Audiences of ſo nice and deli- cate a Taſte, as in this Age frequent the Theatres. It would be very hard upon ſuch a Community, where ſo many Intereſts are concern'd, and ſo much Merit in their Buſi- neſs allow'd, if they had not a Priviledge of refuſing ſome crude Pieces, too imperfe& for the Entertainment of the Pub- lick. I would not be thought to inferr, that they have ne- ver diſcourag'd what They might, perhaps, afterwards wiſh they had receiv'd. They do not, I believe, ſet up for ſuch a Con- ſtant Infallibility. But if We do but fairly confider out of a- bove Four Thouſand Plays extant, how ſmall a Number will now ſtand the Teſt; if We do but conſider too, how often a raw Performance has been extoll'd by the Partiality of private Friendſhip ; and what a Clamour of Injury has been rais'd from that Quarter, upon ſuch Performance meeting a Repulſe; we may pretty eaſily account for the Grounds upon which they - proceeded in diſcountenancing ſome Plays, and the harſh Things that are thrown out upon their giving a Repulſe to others. But I ſhould beg Pardon for interfering in this Queſtion, in which I am properly neither Party, nor Judge. I am only throwing out a private Opinion, without Intereſt or Prejudice, and if 1 am right in the Notion, Valeat quantum valere poteſt. ** >: . * * ? * ? * 7 cs ts Alt * 9 A "INS Wi... 6 « 1 Xe 2 4 . 35”) TT, L wh SG — To — . a 4 ** 8 * * * S . . 46; ** 8 x 7 | g 5 ” ** * * 4 X * i .
