    The Swindler. Comedy, 2 acts

    Manuscripts

    No application. Printed copy, 1785. J.P.C. in B.D.: It may be doubted whether it was not acted. It was certainly sent to Larpent in order to be licensed, but it does not appear from which Theatre. [The mere presence of an unannotated printed copy, without manager's letter, among Larpent's MSS is not indication that the piece was acted or even sent for license.]
