Excerpt from Dissertation on the Pageants, or Dramatic Mysteries Anciently Performed at Coventry, by the Trading Companies of That City: Chiefly With Reference to the Vehicle, Characters, and Dresses of the Actors

Hawkins, in his Origin of the English Drama, gave the first entire specimen of these Mysteries, by printing Parfre's Candlemas Day, and which, until of late years, was the only one that had been committed to the press; but be merely names the Coventry and Chester Mysteries in a note; whilst in Dodsley's Old Plays, they are scarcely brought forward, instead of taking the lead, as they should have done, in one or both of these publications.
