Introductory matter
ADVERTISEMENT.
The admirers of Shakspeare having
long regretted, that most of his Lyrical
Compositions, have never been sung in a
Theatre, the Comedy of Errors, (one of
the shortest and most lively of his Comedies)
has been selected as the best vehicle for their
introduction.—A few additional scenes and
passages were absolutely necessary for this
purpose; and however deficient these may
be found, it is hoped they will be readily
pardoned, as having served to bring on the
stage, more of the “native wood notes wild,”
of our Immortal Bard!
Dec. 8th, 1819.
