| Additional Information | Manuscript is endorsed, in hand of Garrick [?]. There is no title. The notice states, for Mrs. Clive's benefit; included, The New Scene in Mrs. Clive's Farce. There are considerable differences between the printed and manuscript versions. The New Scene, presumably submitted later than the original farce, is the final scene of the printed version. |
