"Eurydice" was played about thirteen times, and was thought worthy of revival in 1759.

This is the story told in the Biographia Dramatica, but Genest says "Merope" was acted three times.

Genest doubts this story, and gives very strong grounds for doing so. Vol. iii. pp. 306-8.

All dates regarding Wilks are difficult to determine; but as his appearance in Othello, previously referred to, took place at the end of the Irish Revolution – (Hitchcock says in December 1691) – this date, 1690, must be wrong. Besides, Rich does not seem to have obtained a footing in the theatre till March 1691.

Chetwood says sixty pounds.

It was apparently the same salary as Betterton's.
11
Chetwood says that he commanded a troop in the King's army.

Should be 26th September.

It would be more accurate to say that she played several "breeches" parts.
21
Although Dr. Doran states this as if it were undoubtedly accurate, it is not certain that it is so. It is only one of several stories to account for Quin's requiring to earn a living on the stage.
22
I can find no authority for this. He made his first appearance as Hotspur on 7th January 1718. He played Benducar on 26th September 1718.
23
He did not play Falstaff until 1720-21.
24
Should be "next season." Ryan's accident and Hallam's death took place in 1734-35; Mrs. Cibber's appearance in 1735-36.
25
Bond was not an actor, but apparently a distressed author. Davies expressly says that he was aged and infirm. It is scarcely correct to say that he died on the stage. He fainted on the stage and died the next morning.
26
Mrs. Cibber did not play Hermione. "The Distressed Mother" was played on 23d March 1736 for Theophilus Cibber's benefit, when Mrs. Cibber played Andromache. The Zara which Mrs. Porter acted was quite a different part from Aaron Hill's Zara, being the part in Congreve's "Mourning Bride."
27
I cannot trace that Mrs. Cibber ever played Jane Shore. Alicia was her part.
28
It was played five times.
29
Should be Quidam.

It is very questionable whether this farce was prohibited. There is nothing in the bills to show that it was; and the

Dr. Doran must refer to Brooke, who made £1000 by publishing "Gustavus Vasa." Paterson, I think, was not likely to be equally lucky.
