Doge's speec on p. 151 in 5 1/2 lines. From our As Is shelf. Front board and endpapers detached. Rear hinge loosening. Corners bumped. Tear in rear free endpaper. Signature on book's front cover. Labels on front pastedown. Some light spotting to upper margins but pages generally clean. Poetry in the format of a play, though Byron insisted the piece was not intended for the stage. It was performed anyway, a hasty production being thrown together by the manager of the Drury Lane Theatre Robert Elliston, opening April 25, 1821. Elliston had submitted a heavily censored version of the text to the Lord Chamberlain for licensing. John Murray obtained an injuction to prevent a repeat performance but the injunction was soon lifted by the Lord Chancellor and the performances continued. However, the adaptation was not favourably recived and the production not a financial success. Tandolf p. 73. Wise II. 29-30., John Murray, 1821, 2, London: Printed for W. Griffin, 1771.

Richard Cumberland (1732-1811), was born in the master's lodge of Trinity College, Cambridge; his maternal grandfather's residence. On his father's side he was the great-grandson and son of bishop; on his mother's , the grandson of the classical scholar Richard Bentley, and the son a woman who inspired John Byron to compose one of the most popular pastoral poems of the time. His family connections secured him the position as private secretary to the Earl of Halifax, who was then the First Lord of Trade and Plantations. There follow a number of political appointments which left him abundant leisure for literary pursuits. He published upwards of a hundred books, about half of which were plays.. Paperback.
