Excerpt from Elkanah Settle: His Life and Works When this work was begun, it was my intention to publish a short biography of Elkanah Settle and a brief discussion of his works, with an edition of The Empress of Morocco, a play which has engaged the inter est oi the student of the drama and of stage-construction chiefly because it was the occasion of one of the most interesting literary quarrels of the Restoration period, and because it contains, as the first illustrated drama in England, the most exact information which we possess concern ing the interior of a Restoration theater. Later I decided to confine the dissertation to a study of the life and works of Settle, and to publish the play in a separate volume. The material for the edition of the play is in hand, and the volume will appear at an early date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
