"In the following synopical treatise on the drama of the ancient Greeks, the only part taken by me is that of condensation, arrangement, and occasional translation. The 'Theatre of the Greeks, ' from which this summary has been compiled, is a manual of erudition almost indispensable to graduating students in in the universities of England."--Advertisement, p. [5]. Signed: George Paddison
"The theatre of the Greeks" was originally compiled by P.W. Buckham. Beginning with the fourth edition in 1836, it was completely revised, and appeared under the name of John William Donaldson
