About this Item
94pp, [2]. A reissue of the first edition with the title page partially reset. With a final leaf of publisher's advertisements. Recent burgundy cloth, lettered in gilt. Lightly dust-soiled and browned internally. An early edition, printed in the same year as the first, of playwright Thomas Morton's (bap. 1764, d. 1838) remarkably popular comedy, first performed in 1798 at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden.
