Obliged to leave that circumllance rather undetermined, though he has, with fome degree of probability, placed it to the year 1596. In my opinion, the firfi lltetch of it was brought on the flage more early. In all his pieces, for which he entertained a predileaion, it is granted he made fuch additions as he thought would advance the cre dit of the play, and make it more palatable to an audience and, as no one of his tragedies by con fent of hifiory and tradition, was more relifhed, by the inhabitants of this metropolis, than Hamlet, we have no reafon to doubt, that he, from time to time, threw in fuch materials as would improve the original flock: lo that the firlt and lafi Hamlet might be, in fome relpe&, as diflimilar, as Pope' Rape of the Lock, with the fylphs, and the fame poem Without them.
