Manuscript play, heavily corrected, of Act I only of a comedy concerning "libertine" student life at Cambridge. The author's preface notes that "the university characters in this play are of those despicable wretches only, who dishonor a college....For I should take no pleasure in drawing those descriptions which scandalize the place of my education, were it not to inform the Libertine that a college is sacred in a double sense: to Learning, &, what is beyond it, to Religion."

1 v. (49 p.) ; 21 x 17 cm.
