[Sometime after May, and during 1770 was published Paul Hiffernan's Dramatic Genius in Five Books, dedicated to Garrick (with a 2nd edn., 1772). Book I, delineates a plan for a permanent Temple to be erected to the memory of Shakespeare, in classical taste; Book II, details the invention of the drama, its rise to perfection, and gives a "candid disquisition of the rules laid down by the critics"; Book III, a treatise on the art of acting; Book IV, requisites for dramatic genius, in composition, and in acting; Book V, an essay on Architecture, Painting and the other arts as they relate to theatrical representation. Contains flattering comments on theatrical managers.
