Tragedy was written in the summer and autumn of the year 1797 ;at Nether Stowey, in the county of Somerset. By whose recommendation, and of the manner in which both the Play and the Author were treated by the Recommender, let me be. permitted to relate: that I knew of its having been received only by a third person ;that I could procure neither answer nor the manuscript; and that but for an accident I should have had no copy of the Work itself. That such treatmenr avou Mdamp a young mans exertions may be easily conceived :there was no need of attermisrepresentation and calumny, as an additional sedative. I thought it right to record this circumstance; but I turn gladly and with sincere gratitude to the converse. In the close of last year I was advised to present the Tragedy once more to the Theatre. Accordingly having altered the names, I ventured to address a letter to Mr. Whithread, requesting information as to whom I was to present my Tragedy.
