Author: KNIGHT (Thomas):
Title: The Turnpike Gate; A Musical Entertainment; In Two Acts. Now performing with Universal Applause, at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. The Fourth Edition.
Description: London: Printed for G. G. and J. Robinson..., 1799. 8vo (in 4s), pp. [iv], 52, disbound; title-page soiled, some fingering of text, and the upper corner margins of first few leaves seem to have provided a meal (unsatisfactory, one hopes) for a rodent. Knight's "musical entertainment" was first performed in the same year and issued in this form without music. The music is by Mazzinghi and Reeve, and Knight did not put his name on the first issue of this work in 1799. An edition printed in Dublin in 1800 also styled itself "The Fourth Edition."
