Contents
The original text
There is some confusion about the work in the sources however, for only does the work appear under varying titles (Delicate ground or, Paris in 1793, Delicate Ground, in Paris in 1770, or simply Delicate Ground!), it is also ascribed at times to Charles Dance only, sometimes to James Robinson Planché, and on others more correctly to both authors. (See for example the sources apparently used by Bosman, 1928, pp. 399, 430) In addition the publication dates differ vastly, with some versions indicating that it was first performed in the Royal Lyceum Theatre, London, Wednesday November 27 1849 and published in London by Thomas Hailes Lacy in 1849. Yet William Taylor & Company are also mentioned, as is an edition dated 1800 by Samuel French, New York.
