8vo in fours, pp. vi, [ii], 75; disbound. First edition. First performed at Drury Lane in March 1788. With an epilogue by Mrs Piozzi, who had met the Greatheeds in Florence: Bertie Greatheed was a wealthy dilettante, and the Piozzis had visited his house in Warwickshire the previous summer, where he had read them scenes as he composed the play. Mrs Piozzi pronounced the play a great success (and was delighted at the reception of her epilogue), but in truth even the performances of Sarah Siddons and John Philip Kemble could not rescue it from comparative failure. This is one of two variants, with identifiable differences in signature L (the last two leaves) only. In this one (the rarer), there is no press-figure on p. 74, and an ornament of a four-leaved flower at the foot of p. 75.…
