Note

Anonymous. By George Lillo

The three final pages contain advertisements

Apparently the original issue, without a price on the title page; two other issues of the same year have the price (printed differently), as well as an additional leaf containing an advertisement dated November 10, 1730, and a revision to Act III, condensing scenes IX-XIII into one, with the additional statement: "This opera appearing in rehearsal too long for one night's entertainment, some scenes have been shorten'd, and some airs omitted." The play ran for only three nights in November 1730. See ESTC T48277 and N504511.
