Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems, Plays and Other Remains of Sir John Suckling, Vol. 1: With a Copious Account of the Author, Notes, and an Appendix of Illustrative Pieces A new edition of the remains of Sir John Suckling, in verse and prose, has for many years past been a desideratum. The volume which is now offered to the public embraces all that is known to be extant from his pen. The account of his life which is prefixed has been reprinted from that which accompanies a volume of selections from his writings published in 1836 by the late Suffolk historian, the Rev. Alfred Suckling; but it has been carefully revised, and in certain places enlarged. The tracts which form the Appendix are in themselves curious, and they throw some light on Suckling's history, and on the circumstances by which he was surrounded and influenced. The play of "The Goblins," which has been inserted in Dodsley's collection, is now printed with the notes of Isaac Reed and others, as its retention in the new edition of the Old Plays will probably, under the present circumstances, hardly seem desirable.
