Tragi- Com. by
Beaumont and Fletcher,
410. 1622. This was the
firit piece that brought thefe
afterwards mo£ julliy cele-
brated authors into any con-
fiderable eitimation, and is
even now coniidered as one
■ of the moft capital of their
plays. It was prefented at
the Old Theatre in Lin-
coln's-! nn-Fields, when the
women acted by themfelves ;
a circumftance recorded by
Mr. Dryden, who wrote a
prologue for them, which
may be found among his

Philajler. A Trag. by
Beaumont and Fletcher.
Acted at Drury-Lane, 8vo.
1 76 3. The revival of this
piece was greatly approved
by the public ; as Mr. Col.
man's alterations were ex-
tremely judicious. This
play has been generally con-
sidered as one of the belt
produced by the twin-writ-
ers above-named ; but, on
account of the indecencies
in fome parts of it, hath
been deemed unfit to appear
before a modern audience.
Thefe blemilhes and other
improprieties being remov-
ed, the tragedy thus new-
modelled was brought on,
with this additional advan-
tage, that Mr. Powell fir ft
appeared on the flagtv in
the reprefentation thereof,
in the character of Philafter.
Mrs. Yates alio difplayed
new graces on this occafion,
and the editor's prologue
has been both greatly ad-
mired andcriticiled.
