ty, by Dr. Thomas Morell,
8vo. 1749.
Hecuba. Trag. by Dr.
Delap. A&ed at Drury-
Lane, 8vo. 1762, but met
with very indifferent fuccefs,
its run continually only
l®ng enough to afford the
author one fingle benefit. It
is not devoid of merit.
The Heir. Comedy, by
Thomas May. A&ed by
the company of Revels,
1620. The plot, language,
and conduct of this play are
all admirable ; it met with
great applaufe. It is to be

Lane.
The Heirefs. Com. faid
to be written by General
Burgoyne. A&ed at Drury-
Lane, 1786. The general
chara&er of this comedy is
fenfe, chaftity, andpropriety
of fentiment ; though the
fable is flight, and rather
mechanical than natural.

the three Politic Ghofts, (vrr,
Oliver Cromwell, the King
of Sweden, and Cardinal

Nut Brown Maid. Mufical
Drama taken from Prior.

a&ed at Covent-Garden,
April 13, 1774, for Mrs.
Hartley's benefit.
Henry and Rofamand.
Tr^g. by W. Hawkins, 8vo.
1749. This play, though
never a&ed, is very far
from a bad piece.
Henry II, or, The Fall of
Rofamond. Trag. by Tho.
Hull. A&ed at Covent-
Garden, 8vo. 1774.
Henry II, King of Eng-
land, with the Death of Ro-
famond. Tragedy, by John
Bancroft, 410. 1693. This
piece, which was published
by Mountfort, the player,
is in general tragedy, but
with a mixture of comedy :
it has not the author's name
prefixed to it, yet it met
with very good fuccefs, and is
indeed truly deferving of it.
The ftory of it may be
found in the Englifh hifto-
rians, and represents chiefly
that part of this prince's
life which relates to Rofa-
mond. The fcene lies in
Oxford 5
