A bold stroke for a wife: a comedy ; as it is acted at the Theatre Royal in Lincoln's-Inn-Fields. By the author of The busie-body ..

"_IT has ever been the Custom of Poets to shelter Productions of this Nature under the Patronage of the brightest Men of their Time; and 'tis observ'd, that the Muses always met the kindest Reception from Persons of the greatest Merit. The World will do me Justice as to the Choice of my Patron, but will, I fear, blame my rash Attempt, in daring to Address Your Grace, and offer at a Work too difficult for our ablest Pens, viz. an Encomium on Your Grace: I have no Plea against such just Reflections, but the Disadvantage of Education, and the Privilege of my Sex."
This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
