Columbus: or, A World Discovered. An Historical Play. As it is performed at the Theatre Royal, Covent-Garden.

Bookseller Notes

A play to mark the 300th anniversary of Columbus' "discovery" of the New World (though the Indians here are Incas). This was Morton's first play, and a success. There was an edition in Dublin the following year, and one in Boston the year after. In one of his later plays Morton introduced the character of Mrs. Grundy (although she never appears on the stage).
