[8] _The Complete Works of Henry Fielding, Esq._, ed. William Ernest
Henley (New York: Croscup & Sterling Co., [1902]; reprinted Barnes & Noble, 1967), X, 277-278. [9] For a useful exposition of the 1733 and 1743 disputes in terms of the licensing act see Watson Nicholson, _The Struggle for a Free Stage in London_ (Cambridge, Mass.: Archibald Constable & Co., 1906.). [10] Percy Fitzgerald, _The Life of Mrs. Catherine Clive_ (London: A. Reader, 1888), p. 24. P.J. Crean, "The Life and Times of Kitty Clive," Diss. Univ. of London, 1933, is, however, the authority on Clive's life. I am indebted to Professor Crean. [11] Quoted in Mary E. Knapp, _Prologues and Epilogues of the Eighteenth Century_ (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1961), p. 69. [12] Yet, with Fitzgerald (_Life_, p. 34), I believe that Fielding could have helped Mrs. Clive ready her Case for the press. Certainly the "correctness" of that printed text could not have been achieved by her alone. Cf. Clive's MS letters, Appendix, "An Edition of the Afterpieces." [13] See Crean, "Life and Times," p. 215. A pertinent example of actors' seeking redress is, of course, the revolt of 1694-1695, described by John Downes, _Roscius Anglicanus_ (London. 1708), pp. 43-44; Augustan Reprint Society publication number 134 (Los Angeles, 1969), with an Introduction by John Loftis, is a facsimile of the first edition.
