Prefatory Note<br />
The licensing act of 1737 required that copies of all plays and other entertainments designed to be performed on the stage<br />
in Great Britain be submitted to the Lord Chamberlain for license fourteen days before their presentation. In order to carry<br />
out the provisions of the new law, the office of Examiner of <strong>Plays</strong> was established, the first Examiner, William Chetwynd,<br />
being appointed on March 10, 1738. Chetwynd acted almost entirely through deputies, first Thomas Odell 1 and second<br />
Edward Capell. 2 At his death, April 3, 1770, apparently no successor was designated; and Capell acted as Examiner until<br />
the appointment of <strong>John</strong> <strong>Larpent</strong> on November 20, 1778. <strong>Larpent</strong> died in office on January 18, 1824.<br />
The official copies of plays submitted to the Examiner between 1737 and January, 1824, in <strong>Larpent</strong>'s possession at the time<br />
of his death, were bought about 1832 by <strong>John</strong> Payne Collier and Thomas Amyot. 3 In An Old Man's Diary, 4 under the date<br />
of March 11, 1832, Collier states:<br />
2
Catalogue of the <strong>John</strong> <strong>Larpent</strong><br />
<strong>Plays</strong><br />
My friend Amyot and I, between us, have bought all <strong>Larpent</strong>'s Dramatic Manuscripts... but, on the whole, they are<br />
hardly worth the money we have given for them (¥400).... The <strong>Larpent</strong> Manuscripts fill six or eight immense bundles,<br />
and I hardly know how to find them house-room, particularly as Amyot leaves his share in my keeping.<br />
During the years that he owned the collection, Collier referred to it twice in published articles; 1 and in January, 1854, there<br />
was an announcement in the Athenaeum 2 that the collection had been bought by the Earl of Ellesmere. The plays had<br />
been offered (by Collier?), the notice continued, to the Trustees of the British Museum, who declined to purchase them;<br />
they will, therefore, form a distinguishing feature in the library of his Lordship's new mansion in the Green Park, and no<br />
doubt will be accessible to all who wish to consult the plays for literary and historical purposes. Then, forgotten, they lay in<br />
the library of Bridgewater House for sixty-three years; and, overshadowed by the Chaucer Manuscript and the Shakespeare<br />
first folio, passed unheeded into the Huntington Library in 1917. 3 At last they were recalled to the attention of students in<br />
1927, with the publication of references to the collection in Allardyce Nicoll's A History of Late Eighteenth Century Drama,<br />
and were described as the real feature of the [Bridgewater House] library in its later period by George Sherburn in an<br />
account of Huntington Library Collections in 1931. 4<br />
Presumably, all new plays performed between June 24, 1737, and January 18, 1824, were licensed as the law required; and<br />
one might expect to find them in the collection in the Huntington Library. But, enormous as the collection still is, it is not<br />
now entirely complete. The extent and causes of the shrinkage are difficult to determine, but from time to time, apparently,<br />
individual pieces were abstracted. 5<br />
In the Bridgewater House Library the plays were bound in blue paper covers, neatly labeled, and shelved in boxes of four<br />
sizes (designated Large, Extra, Middle, and Small), stamped <strong>Larpent</strong> Dramatic MSS., and bearing on the spine lists of the<br />
contents. Within the sizes, the arrangement was roughly chronological. Three scrapbook volumes contained occasional<br />
prologues and epilogues, addresses, and undated or unidentified short pieces. Presumably under Collier's direction, there<br />
was made a manuscript catalogue, 1 which sometimes conveys information not found upon the copy itself, but which is<br />
inaccurate and not quite complete.<br />
The copies sent to the Examiner are generally clearly written by professional copyists attached to the theatres, though<br />
some are partly, or entirely, in the authors' handwriting. Most copies are accompanied by a formal application for license to<br />
perform, signed by the manager of the theatre; and the name of the author only rarely appears upon the play, except on<br />
title-pages of printed copies, submitted instead of manuscripts. Originally, manuscripts were bound in a rough, whity-brown<br />
paper cover, upon which the Examiner often made notes. Before <strong>Larpent</strong> took office the mark that was used to indicate<br />
that the play had been examined seems to have been an X on this paper cover; but <strong>Larpent</strong> usually entered upon it the<br />
name of the theatre from which the play was submitted and a date, presumably that on which he licensed the play,<br />
generally a day or two after the date of the application. 1 On some copies the marks of the Examiners indicate<br />
objectionable passages, and most suppressed plays bear endorsements which state that the license was not granted.<br />
While Collier had access to the collection, he inscribed many of the copies with notes, most of them partly in shorthand,<br />
recording his opinions as to such matters as authorship, handwriting, or date. Though many of these notes are right, they<br />
are often mistaken and sometimes unintelligible.<br />
The fact that these plays are official copies sent by the managers of the theatres, not the authors, to the office of the<br />
Examiner, places them in a different category from that of most literary texts. Their relation on the one hand to the acted<br />
version and on the other to the published work raises complicated problems that can be solved only individually. What<br />
liberties actors took with the text after it had been approved, one cannot say, but it seems likely that in general the<br />
licensed text was presented on the stage. The printed play, however, was generally set from copy provided by the author;<br />
and in it he had the opportunity to restore what the manager had eliminated, or to revise the piece in the light of its<br />
reception. The <strong>Larpent</strong> text, thus, may represent a state of composition either later or earlier than the first acted version.<br />
An examination of the manuscripts will show that the Examiner's copy seldom conforms entirely to the published text.<br />
In the preparation of this Catalogue, information has been derived from numerous and diverse published works. In addition<br />
to playbills and periodicals, the following have been extensively used:<br />
David Erskine Baker, Isaac Reed, and Stephen Jones, Biographia Dramatica. 1812<br />
Two interleaved copies of the Biographia Dramatica in the Huntington Library have been used:<br />
(1) A copy, formerly the property of <strong>John</strong> Payne Collier, containing manuscript notes by him and by the sixth<br />
Duke of Devonshire. Facing the title-page of Vol. II Collier has made the following note:<br />
With the assistance of Reed's original M.S. I have marked all the principal articles and passages furnished<br />
by Steevens up to 1782.<br />
In this vol: the Duke of Devonshire has transcribed from his Catalogue all the notes &c. of J. P. Kemble,<br />
with additions by his Grace. To the 2d. vol. I transcribed them myself.<br />
3
Catalogue of the <strong>John</strong> <strong>Larpent</strong><br />
<strong>Plays</strong><br />
I have also made many additions of plays and corrections of errors by the aid of <strong>Larpent</strong>s License Books<br />
and the MS. plays &c which were sent to him and to his predecessors for perusal from 1737 downwards.<br />
(2) A copy, originally owned by Kemble, referred to by Collier in his note, above. This is the<br />
Kemble-Devonshire copy. It contains manuscript notes by Kemble, with some additions by the Duke of<br />
Devonshire, mostly titles, etc., of plays in the Kemble-Devonshire Collection of <strong>Plays</strong> published after the<br />
Biographia Dramatica appeared and therefore not listed therein. This copy apparently served Kemble, and<br />
later the Duke, as a catalogue to his collection of plays, as it gives the number of the volume, in that<br />
collection, in which each play may be found.<br />

The items in the present Catalogue of <strong>Larpent</strong> plays are divided into two sections: (1) the plays and identified prologues,<br />
etc. (Numbers 1-2399); and (2) unidentified addresses, prologues, epilogues, etc. (Numbers 2400-2502). In the first section<br />
entries are arranged chronologically in accordance with the date of the application for license, or, if that is not available,<br />
the date of first performance. Prologues, epilogues, and other related documents are included in the same entry as the<br />
plays to which they belong, if the latter are found in the collection, even though they may be bound and shelved<br />
separately. The unidentified items are arranged alphabetically.<br />
In each entry the title of the play is given first as it appears upon the manuscript, even though it may be better known<br />
under another title. After the title is a descriptive phrase indicating the type of play, taken either from the copy itself or<br />
from contemporary descriptions, which have been followed even to the vaguest of designations, such as piece, in<br />
preference to editorially supplied terms. The name of the author, which seldom appears on the copy, is given, when known.<br />
The second part of the entry gives the date of application for license, the name of the manager, and the theatre, and the<br />
date of first production, from such authorities as may be regarded as generally reliable. (Theatre and year are not repeated<br />
unless they differ from those appearing in the application.) It is then stated whether the copy is a manuscript or printed;<br />
and noteworthy peculiarities of the copy are mentioned. Collier's notes written on the plays are given only rarely, as they<br />
usually repeat those in his copy of Biographia Dramatica.<br />
Following the description of a manuscript is a statement of the result of a comparison of manuscript and printed text, made<br />
whenever there was a printed copy of the play in the Huntington Library. 1 The edition compared is indicated, and in<br />
parentheses is given the Huntington Library accession number of the copy used; and a phrase points out the nature or<br />
extent of the differences between the two texts. As these notes represent only a hasty comparison and are not to be taken<br />
as the results of careful collation, they are intentionally expressed in the most general terms. The absence of comparison<br />
with a printed text does not necessarily indicate that the play was unpublished, but merely that no copy was available for<br />
comparison.<br />
Finally, relevant parts of Collier's notes in his copy of the Biographia Dramatica are printed, and care has been taken to<br />
quote all of the new or suggestive material from them. No attempt has been made to indicate calligraphic peculiarities; and<br />
superior letters, as in M r. or w th., are lowered. Indexes of titles and authors, with references to entries in the Catalogue,<br />
are appended.<br />
In order to clarify this explanation of entries, the following expansion of entry 2 is given:<br />
Art and Nature, a comedy in five acts, by James Miller: The play is accompanied by a note of application for license to<br />
perform, addressed to the Examiner of <strong>Plays</strong> (or to the Lord Chamberlain), dated January 12, 1737/8, and signed by<br />
Charles Fletewood, manager of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The play was produced at that theatre on February 16<br />
of the same year. The copy in question is a manuscript, in which the Examiner has marked certain passages for<br />
omission from the performance. The epilogue is included with the text of the play, and the cast is given with the<br />
4
Catalogue of the <strong>John</strong> <strong>Larpent</strong><br />
<strong>Plays</strong><br />
dramatis personae. A rapid comparison of the text of this manuscript with the 1738 edition (copy in the Huntington<br />
Library, Kemble-Devonshire Collection of <strong>Plays</strong>, Vol. 240) shows that the manuscript contains a number of passages,<br />
including those marked for deletion by the Examiner, that have not been printed. A manuscript note by <strong>John</strong> Payne<br />
Collier in his copy of the Biographia Dramatica (1812) calls attention to The Pigeon Pie (1738), which Collier states is<br />
a satire upon Miller.<br />
Two groups in the collection have been treated less completely than the compilers could have wished. The larger consists<br />
of the Italian operas, which have not been adequately identified because of the scarcity of accurate information on the<br />
subject of Italian opera in England and the lack of opera librettos in the Huntington Library, outside the <strong>Larpent</strong> Collection.<br />
The other group is of plays submitted from provincial theatres, concerning whose productions little information is available.<br />
1<br />
The principal task of the compilers of this Catalogue was to identify the plays: although authors' names had to be found and<br />
an astonishing number of changed titles was encountered, a greater measure of success was achieved than had been<br />
originally anticipated. The second place in the attention of the compilers was given to the comparison of manuscript and<br />
printed texts. The almost complete success of this endeavor has been made possible by the presence under the same roof<br />
of both the <strong>Larpent</strong> manuscripts and the Kemble-Devonshire plays. Some inaccuracies and errors doubtless remain, even<br />
after careful revisions; that they are not more numerous, the principal compiler gratefully realizes is because of the care<br />
and skill of his associates, Mrs. Marion Tinling and Miss Dorothy Bowen, and of other members of the staff of the Huntington<br />
Library.<br />

3I have been unable to find a record of the first sale of the plays. A notice in The Athenaeum (No. 1367, Jan. 7, 1854, p. 21),<br />
possibly based on information supplied by Collier, states that <strong>Larpent</strong>'s widow being anxious to sell them in 1825, they<br />
were bought for 180l. But Lt. Col. Lionel de Hochepied <strong>Larpent</strong>, great-grandson of <strong>John</strong> <strong>Larpent</strong>, has kindly informed me<br />
that the collection was sold by <strong>Larpent</strong>'s executors, his two sons (Sir George de Hochepied <strong>Larpent</strong>, Bart., and Baron J. J. de<br />
Hochepied <strong>Larpent</strong>), presumably when <strong>John</strong> <strong>Larpent</strong>'s effects were disposed of at the death of his widow in 1832; so Collier<br />
and Amyot may have secured the plays at this time, and there may have been no sale in 1825. Unfortunately, Colonel<br />
<strong>Larpent</strong> has not found documentary evidence of the disposition of the collection; and the statement in the Athenaeum<br />
concerning a sale for ¥180 is unsupported.<br />

3In 1857 a query ( Notes and Queries, 2d Ser., IV, 269) mentions the supposed existence of the collection and asks in<br />
whose possession these MSS. now are. This is all that was known of it by W. A. J. Archbold when he wrote the life of <strong>Larpent</strong><br />
in the Dictionary of National Biography, where he states <strong>Larpent</strong> is said... to have left behind him manuscript copies of all<br />
the plays submitted to the inspector from 1737 to 1824. Nor were the <strong>Larpent</strong> plays mentioned in the account of the<br />
Bridgewater Sale to Henry E. Huntington in 1917 by W. N. C. Carlton ( Notes on the Bridgewater House Library, privately<br />
printed [New York, 1918]).<br />

5Through the kindness of Mr. William A. Jackson, of the Harvard College Library, and with the generous consent of Mr. Carl<br />
H. Pforzheimer, the owner, I have been allowed to examine a manuscript Alphabetical Catalogue with Notes of Theatrical<br />
representations &ca Submitted for Licensing From The Year 1737, to the Year 1787 inclusive. This list, in the handwriting of<br />
<strong>Larpent</strong> and of his second wife, contains some 28 titles that I have not been able to identify with any now in the Huntington<br />
Library <strong>Larpent</strong> collection; but a large number of titles in that collection are not in this manuscript list.<br />
It is perhaps noteworthy that the most conspicuous of the plays of the period not now in the Huntington Library collection<br />
(e.g., The Clandestine Marriage and The School for Scandal) are not listed by <strong>Larpent</strong>-from which one may infer that the<br />
copies of these pieces were removed from the Examiners' papers before <strong>Larpent</strong> took office. Others appear to have been<br />
either returned to the managers or given away by <strong>Larpent</strong> or by Collier. For instance, J. P. Kemble was by 1800 already in<br />
possession of two (Nos. 298 and 378 in the present Catalogue), which he bound with his plays and later sold to the sixth<br />
Duke of Devonshire, who himself had become the owner of three others (Nos. 471, 918, and 1474). These have now come<br />
into the Huntington Library from a source different from that of the main body of the collection; and the Examiner's copy of<br />

Goldsmith's The Grumbler (No. 354) was in the Hoe collection.<br />
1The title-page, Catalogue of the <strong>Larpent</strong> Dramatic MSS. 1602-1824, is misleading, as many of the plays are printed, and as<br />
the collection contains no manuscript earlier than 1737. Some earlier printed copies and some eighteenth-century<br />
prologues to be used with earlier plays are found.<br />
1Sometimes, strangely enough, it is considerably after the first performance-which may mean nothing except that as<br />
<strong>Larpent</strong> progressed towards fourscore years he became either careless of his duties or ignorant of the calendar.<br />
1In a few cases (which are indicated), copies were kindly lent by other libraries.<br />

45. Aristodemo, [Tiraimo di Cuma (?)]. Opera (Italian), 3 acts. [Paolo Antonio<br />

Note<br />
The title of this MS may be Aristodemo, but as that is the first name in the dramatis<br />
personae the title on the Bridgewater Library cover may be a wrong guess. As the<br />
endorsement on the first page, made in the office of the Examiner (?), is an X, the MS<br />
is probably pre-<strong>Larpent</strong>. Its general appearance also seems to me to indicate a date<br />
earlier than that assigned by Collier (?) and the Bridgewater Catalogue. Also, in the<br />
cast three singers whom I have tentatively identified, place the performance, if I am<br />
correct, at about 1745. They are Signor [Angelo Maria] Monticelli, who was in London<br />
from 1741 to 1746; Signora [Giulia] Frasi, who first appeared in London in 1743; and<br />
Signora Visconti, who was prima donna there during the forties. As both Monticelli and<br />
Frasi appear in the cast given in the MS, it must be for a performance between 1743<br />
and 1746. It may therefore be Aristodemo, Tiraimo di Cuma, pasticcio, ascribed to<br />
[Paolo Antonio?] Rolli (by Nicoll, Early Eighteenth Century Drama [2d ed.], p. 389), H1,<br />

Printed copy, 3d ed., 1760: MS corrections and insertions in Garrick's hand; passages<br />
marked for omission, apparently by Examiner.<br />
J.P.C. in B.D.: There were at least three Editions in 1760. The third, as altered &<br />
corrected by the Licenser is among <strong>Larpent</strong>s <strong>Plays</strong>. It was licensed for Garrick & Lacy,<br />
who sent it to Chetwynd on 20th. Nov. 1760, after the run at the Haymarket. Capell<br />
who acted for Chetwynd objected to many parts and they were omitted in the<br />
performance, including the chief part of Shift's Epilogue. Garrick himself made two<br />
alterations on a separate piece of paper.<br />
It appears from a letter from the Duke of Devonshire to Garrick dated 25th. Octr. 1760<br />
that the Archbp of Canterbury had objected to the performance of the Minor. (Vide<br />
Garrick Papers Vol I) Private Correspondence, I, 120.<br />

Taste, with a new additional act (never performed before) called Modern Tragedy] Apr.<br />
6.<br />
MS: endorsed X. (Apparently an unprinted alteration of the version of 1751.)<br />
J.P.C. in B.D.: Foote's Taste was sent by Lacy & Garrick to the Licenser on Decr. 28,<br />
1751-a very incorrect and ignorantly written M.S. In 'March 1761' (no day) Lacy &<br />
Garrick sent another 'Comedy of Taste' to the Licenser of which no notice is taken in<br />
the biographies of Foote. It consists in the first act chiefly of the scene, in the piece of<br />
1751, between Carmine & Lady Pentweazle; and in the second act of a part of Foote's<br />
Diversions of the Morning, including the mock-tragedy of Lindamira. There is an<br />
introductory scene also between Townley and Manley:-the latter having just come to<br />
town after a long residence in the country is first carried by the former for amusement<br />
to Carmine's, the painter, and afterwards to Project's, a manager of a company of<br />
players. This was no doubt also by Foote and played by him at Drury Lane in 1761-2.<br />

J.P.C. in B.D.: The Scene of the Yorkshire servant maid [inserted in this MS] was a<br />
subsequent addition probably Garrick ['s]-The scene of Mrs. Doggrel [also inserted in<br />
this MS] was certainly Garricks and in the Licensers Copy it is corrected throughout by<br />
him-The scene of the Yorkshire Servant Maid & of Mrs. Doggrel were both licensed at<br />

the Manager [Examiner?] with a note from J. P. Kemble stating-'The Author of the Iron<br />
Mask' (so the piece was originally called) 'flatters himself that he has expunged every<br />
objectionable word and circumstance from this little opera'-Dated Octr. 21. 1789. All<br />
the corrections and omissions were made by J. P. Kemble and are marked by him in<br />

objection does not seem to have been overcome: that objection was that it 'ridiculed<br />
