ABSTRACT

This piece Mr G-k informs us in the advertisement to the reader, he altered and adapted to the stage in order to avoid the perpetual jingle that occured, and to give a finer stroke to the catastrophe, by waking Juliet before Romeo’s death;2 however dissonant this chime might be to his ears I can assure him the incidents of these ministers of death are not less incompatible with common sense. It must, however, be owned that the catastrophe is greatly altered for the better, and there is nothing wanting but the probable to render it perfect.
