Event Comment: Benefit the Author of the Farce. Afterpiece: a Farce. [Author not known.] Preface to edition of 1737: The Misrepresentation of this little Piece upon the Stage, and the proper Indifference with which it was received by the Audience, made it necessary, for my Reputation sake, to publish it with all convenient Expedition. My Friends, who had read the Thing, did not know it again, it was in so disastrous a Plight; and they that had not read it (from a Prepossession in my Favour) imputed its Aukwardness to the Mismanagement, or Incapacity of the Players
