Early American Plays Part 19

PLAYS IN Ma.n.u.sCRIPT

Many more t.i.tles could be added to the following list, but these will suffice. Ireland's _Records of the New York Stage_, Dunlap's _American Theatre_ and Rees's _Dramatic Authors of America_ give many additional t.i.tles, but as unpublished plays really do not deserve a place in a bibliography, I have inserted this list only for the purpose of comparison between those printed and those unpublished.
