Summary:

Excerpt from Pre-Restoration Stage Studies Of the long-miscomprehended physical characteristics of the primitive sixteenth-century playing places. Without the duly attested plan, my lecture on the subject would, I fear, have proved nugatory; and my thankfulness, there fore, to the donor is commensurate with the knowledge of my escape. W. J. L.
