Excerpt from The Plays of Thomas Love Peacock: Published for the First Time None of the collective editions of Peacock's works make any reference to these plays. Indeed, the only allusion to them is a cursory notice of a few lines in Sir Henry Cole's 'Biographical Notes of T. L. Peacock,' of which ten copies were printed and privately circulated about the year 1875. Yet the fact of this poet and novelist being a playwright as well should not come as a complete surprise. Mrs. Clarke states in her short biographical notice of her grandfather that while on board the Venerable as far back as 1808 he used to write prologues for the plays acted by the sailors. We know also that he contributed a prologue and epilogue for Tobin's comedy of 'The Guardians,' which appeared on the stage eight years later.
