| Additional Information | The previous title, The Use of the Globe, or, The World Full of Love, has been erased. John Payne Collier in his copy of Biographia Dramatica writes: 'Love Conquers All or the Cheshire Knight outwitted, an Entertainment (musical) in two Acts from the Theatre Royal at Chester-1786.' Thus it stands in Larpent's account book. From the manuscript among his plays it appears that it was written by W. Cowdroy and the letter requiring a license is signed Joseph Munden and is in his handwriting.' |
