Comments:
Lover's Vows. In Consequence of the Approbation which the above Play has received from the Town, various Translations, or pretended Translations of the work from which it was taken, have been offered for publication to some eminent Booksellers, who honourably declining such purchase, have given Information to the Manager of the attempted Imposition. The Public are therefore respectfully acquainted that the Play, as now performing at this Theatre, was rewritten from a literal Translation, sold to the Proprietor by an Agent of the German Author, and has been adapted to the English Stage by considerable Alterations in Plot & Incidents. The Piece will not be published till the 20th Night of its representation, when it will be submitted to the Reader, with the Name of Mrs Inchbald prefixed to the Publication. Receipts: #432 18s. 6d.
