page 112 of 351 (31%)
11. City Politics, a Comedy, 1683; of this already we have given some
account.

12. Sir Courtly Nice, or It Cannot be; dedicated to the duke of Ormond,
of which we have given an account in the author's life.

13. Darius King of Persia, a Tragedy; acted in 1688. For the plot, see
Quint. Curt. lib. 3, 4, and 5.

14. The English Fryar, or the Town Sparks, a Comedy; printed in quarto
1690, dedicated to William earl of Devonshire. This play had not the
success of the other pieces of the same author.

15. Regulus, a Tragedy; acted at the theatre-royal 1694. The design of
this play is noble; the example of Regulus being the most celebrated
for honour, and constancy of any of the Romans. There is a play of
this name, written by Mr. Havard, a comedian now belonging to the
theatre-royal in Drury-lane.

16. The Married Beaux, or the Curious Impertinent, a Comedy; acted at
the theatre-royal, 1694, dedicated to the marquis of Normanby. To this
play the author has prefixed a preface in vindication of himself, from
the aspersions cast on him by some persons, as to his morals. The story
is taken from Don Quixot.

17. Caligula, Emperor of Rome, a Tragedy; acted at the theatre-royal,
1698.

Our author's other works are, Pandion and Amphigenia, or the coy Lady of
Thessalia; adorned with sculptures, printed in octavo, 1665.
