The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Dr. Edward Filmer
Appearance
An Author that has been pleas'd to visit the Town with a Play in the Autumn of his Age, if I am rightly informed; 'tis therefore no great wonder if it wanted fire and force enough to preserve its Life above three Days. He is a Doctor of the Civil Law, and otherwise esteemed a Man of good Sense and Judgment; and some Lines in this Play confirm that Opinion, 'tis call'd,
The Unnatural Brother, a Tragedy, 4to. Acted at the Theatre in Little Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, 1697. by his Majesty's Servants; he owns the Plot to be taken from Cassandra, particularly the Story of Alcinoe in that Romance.
