Comments:
[The horror of the piece seemed too much for the sensibilities of Mrs Bellamy, so the part of Eurydice given to Mrs Vincent. See Genest, IV, 420. See also Apology for the Life of George Anne Bellamy, written by herself (4th ed., 1786), III, 30.]. This day publish'd at 2s. 6d. Coriolanus; or, The Roman Matron, taken partly from Shakespear and partly from Thomson, as it is now performing at Covent Garden. To which is added the Order of the Ovation. Printed for A. Miller in the Strand
