8vo in fours, pp. [iv], 107, [1] final song; in old wrappers. Sixth edition: first performed at Drury Lane in January 1760, and originally structured in three acts but by the fourth edition transformed into a five-act play. Murphy's prefatory note to earlier editions acknowledged Swift's Strephon and Chloe as inspiration for the play, along with de Moissy's La Nouvelle Ecole des Femmes.
