8vo. pp. xxxi, 110. Original cloth. Monograph offered as ‘some curious and interesting additions’ to the ‘Memoirs of Alleyn’ [Bib# 854631/Fr# 938 in this collection], and organized on the pattern of the ‘Egerton Papers’ (Bib# 1110858/Fr# 933), with transcriptions of 100 chosen documents prefaced by brief headnotes, tied in when possible to the ‘Memoirs’ or to contemporary theatrical and literary history. In the process, Collier repeatedly slurred Edmond Malone and James Boswell. For questionable date in this work, see also A. & J. Freeman, John Payne Collier. Scholarship and Forgery in the Nineteenth Century. New Haven, 2004, I, 356-361; II, A53. <a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/permalink/01JHU_INST/1lu78g9/alma991029002709707861" rel="nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a>
