v, [iii], 85, [3]pp., 8vo. A few minor spots and one very faint stain in the lower margin, but a large and fresh, mostly untrimmed copy, disbound. First edition, dedicated to her brother "in the counting-house," and starring John Philip Kemble and Sarah Siddons. It was not a critical success, and Mrs. Cowley published only one more play before quitting the London theatre for good.
