The books later designated Volumes I and III were originally published in 1776 and 1785. In 1818 a new volume, designated Volume IV, was issued with reissues of the others with volume numbers. Famous today as the author of The Rivals (1775), The School for Scandal (1777) and other plays, Sheridan had parallel careers as a theater owner and Whig politician. He sat in the British House of Commons from 1780 to 1812, representing the constituencies of Stafford, Westminster and Ilchester, and served as treasurer of the navy from 1806 to 1807.
