DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Cuck-Queanes and Cuckolds Errants, or the Bearing Down the Inne: A Comaedye; The Faery Pastorall, or Forrest of Elues; From a Manuscript, in the Library of Joseph Haslewood, Esq. The two following specimens of our very early English Drama have been selected from a folio volume containing six dramatic pieces, that may be almost conclusively considered as in the hand-writing of the author. It is in folio, and has dates, at various pages, from 1601 (see p. 89) to 1647 (p. 97.) It appears to have been a fair transcript of the lucubrations of an earlier period of life, that were carefully preserved with strong parental affection, and with the unsettled principles of a still further laboured correction, as many pages testify by a new reading being pasted over, to improve the bygone idea. The earliest notice known of the volume occurs in the "Catalogue of the Town Library of the late Sir William Burrell, Bart. LL.D. Fellow of the Antiquarian Society: " which library was sold at the Turf Gallery in Conduit-street, Monday, May 2, 1796, and four following days. The volume, it is supposed, was there purchased by Mr. G. Nicol, to place in the library of the late Duke of Roxburghe, and on the sale of that nobleman's collection it was purchased for me.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
