Nov. 3. Never acted there, Earl Goodwin-Dimond -Murray-Blisset-Keasberry Jun., his 1st app.Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Simpson-the D. P. are Edward the Confessor-Earl Goodwin with his 5 sons --some Churchmen-Emma, the mother, and Editha the wife, of the King-Edward is represented as a dupe to the Monks-Goodwin and his eldest son, Harold, are represented in a favourable light-Goodwin takes up arms against the King, but with a view to obtain redress for England--the King promises to be guided by Goodwin-the Archbishop of Canterbury is banished-at the conclusion, Goodwin is poisoned by a Monk-this historical T. by Ann Yearsley, milkwoman of Clifton, was published in 1791, but without the names of the performersDimond acted Goodwin-much cannot be said in commendation of this play, but considering that the author in her younger days had been merely taught to read and write, it does her credit-there is a good comic song in the 5th act-in the 2d act Queen Emma enters veiled, as having just passed the burning ploughshares-Henry, in his History of England, thinks it probable, that the Monks had some secret preparation, by which they enabled their particular friends to go through the ordeal of fire and hot water without being burnt-it appears from Varro and Pliny that the Hirpini had some secret preparation, by which they were enabled to walk through fire

without being hurt Strabo mentions that some Priestesses of Diana were said to do the same thing -see Jortin's Ecclesiastical Remarks vol. 2 p. 55in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1755 (p. 59) the secret of fire-eating is said to consist in rubbing the hands, mouth, &c. with pure spirit of sulphurIn the Antigone of Sophocles-line 270-the Guard says that he and his companions are ready to clear themselves from the suspicion of having connived at the burying of Polynices, by taking hot iron into their hands, or by going through the fire-this passage has been frequently quoted to show the antiquity of the ordeal by fire.
