Erstausgabe
8vo in fours, pp. [ii], iii, [iii], 80, [3] epilogue; remains of old wrapper stuck to title page; disbound. First edition. First performed at Covent Garden in December 1771: the play is based on Voltaire's Les Scythes. Voltaire himself noted this version's success, writing a couplet which he sent to Cradock: Thanks to your muse, a foreign copper shines, Turn'd into gold, and coin'd in sterling lines. Cradock lived a somewhat unusual life, entering Cambridge as (in effect) a mature student, in his late twenties, where his schoolfellow Richard Farmer became his tutor Farmer later dedicated his Essay on the learning of Shakespeare (1767) to him. He was an enthusiast for the stage, and his acting and personality earned him comparisons with Garrick. His diet of turnips, roasted apples and coffee (he seldom drank wine) baffled his contemporaries; but as he lived into his eighties, it cannot have done him much harm. According to Cradock's entertaining memoirs, Goldsmith became acquainted with him at the house of Yates the actor, whose wife took the title role in this, his only work for the stage. Goldsmith sent him the prologue, which was unsolicited; Cradock returned the favour with an epilogue to She Stoops to Conquer (1773), a play which he claimed to have 'altered'.

Erstausgabe
Octavo, [viii], 80 pp., [iv]; original stitch-holes visible in the gutter, disbound. First edition of this orientalist fantasy (based on Voltaire's unfinished Les Scythes). Since it provides an odd insight into the fame of Banks and Solander on their still very recent return from the Endeavour voyage (they had docked in July, five months earlier) it must be a contender for having the first theatrical allusion to Cook's first voyage. Referring to the play's premiere the night before, an anonymous reviewer (London General Evening Post, 10 December 1771) reported that the highlight of the evening was Oliver Goldsmith's prologue, which 'alludes to the discoveries lately made by Dr. Solander and Mr. Banks. The play is supposed a ship; the theatre a strange company, and the audience characterized under the appellation of different animals. Upon the whole there is merit in the Prologue, and the town was too just to withhold the tribute of approbation.' Banks and Solander were the great heroes of the voyage when it first returned (Magra's unofficial account had already been published with its unauthorised dedication to them for example), but they were subject to endless teasing about the erotic delights of Otaheite. As so often with the eighteenth-century theatre, fuller references and details are scant, but a close reading of the prologue gives wonderful glimpses of the sort of broad farce that one might expect. Spoken by "Mr. Quick, in the Character of a Sailor", it begins: 'In these bold times, when Learning's sons explore / The distant climate, and the savage shore; / When wise astronomers to India steer, / And quit for Venus many a brighter here; / While botanists, all cold to smiles and dimpling, / Forsake the fair, and patiently-go simpling [i.e., gathering plants.]'. The concluding lines suggestively depict the heroic botanist hoping to "drive a thriving trade", with goods that are "equally fit for gallantry and war." When the offer goes unheeded, he decides he'd "best step back - and order up a sample." The play ran for a respectable thirteen nights with the famous Mrs Yates in the title role. Its author Cradock moved in exalted literary circles, and was a member of the "Catch-Club" founded by Lord Sandwich. .
