The Young Scamp
The Young Scamp is a sketch in one scene by E. Stirling.
The original text
It is apparently a Christy's style piece, described as an Ethiopian sketch or Negro farce in various sources.
A version of the text was apparently published by T.H. Lacy before 1849, and also published as no 85 in De Witt's Ethiopian and Comic Drama
A Selection of New and Popular Dramas and Farces, texts published by William Barth, 1844[1]
