Excerpt from An Historical and Critical Essay on the Revival of the Drama in Italy
Having difpatched the Hifiorical Memoir on Italian Tragedy, I thought a further ufe fhoul'd be made of my colleaion of Italian dramas, which, through the ae'tive kindnefs of my friends and my own exertions, has increafed confiderahly, .and is fiill increafing.w I was therefore induced to turn my attention to the Revival of the Drama in Italy, a fubjet'l which fome of the Reviewers feem ed to think I had treated too flightly. An am plification of the Introduflion to my former Work was my original plan; but as I advanced, I had fo often occafion to extend the boundaries I had marked out for myfelf, that my labours at length brought forth a volume. To this pleating, yet arduous, talk, feveral years have been devoted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
