Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Sir William D'avenant, Vol. 1: With Prefatory Memoir and Notes
Brother, and the Just Italian, which are printed in the present volume, as well as many of those which Will appear in subsequent volumes, have had such unnecessary liberties taken with them as to render them scarcely to be identified with the original editions, the text having been converted from good blank verse into indifferent prose, while the, typography employed is of a most uninviting character even for an antiquary, far less for the general reader.
