A farce in two acts by Charles A. Somerset. (This description is from the Cumberland edition of 1829, however, described as a "Burletta, in One Act" in other published versions, e.g. Elton's Dramatic Repository, 1828.)

The original text

Some uncertainty about the first performance, but it was apparently done at the Surrey theatre, London, in 1827, the Bowery Theatre in 1828 and at the Sadler's Wells Theatre in 1829.

Printed inter alia by Elton's Dramatic Repository, 1828 and by John Cumberland in London, 1829, both claiming to be from the acting copy, the latter also containing "remarks biographical and critical by D-G" (George Daniel) .
