London: G.H. Davidson, [c.1850]. Small 8vo. 62 pp. Publisher's printed wrappers, a few pages with neat early marginalia. Frontispiece depicting a scene from the play engraved by White after Robert Cruikshank. A little light wear to the extremities, very good overall. No. 37 in Cumberland's British Theatre. Library Hub only shows up one copy of this play in this series, at the Victoria and Albert Museum with a attributed publication date in the 1820s. However, issues of different Shakespearean plays are listed at other libraries with attributed dates of between 1830 and 1850 are also recorded and these seems more in keeping with the appearance of the volume.
