      VENICE PRESERVED.

      A Tragedy,

      IN FIVE ACTS;

      BY THOMAS OTWAY.

      CORRECTLY GIVEN,

      AS PERFORMED AT THE THEATRES ROYAL.

      With Remarks.

      London:

      Printed by D. S. Maurice, Fenchurch-street;

      SOLD BY

      T. HUGHES, 35, LUDGATE STREET, AND J. BYSH,

      52, PATERNOSTER ROW;

      REMARKS.

      This interesting tragedy owes its plot and plan to the Abbé de St. Réal's "Histoire de la Conjuration de Marquis de Bedamar," or account of the Spanish conspiracy at Venice, of which the Marquis de Bedamar, the ambassador from Spain, was a promoter. Nature and the passions are finely touched in this play; and it continues a favorite, deprived, as it now is in representation, of that mixture of vile comedy which originally diversified the tragic action. It has been remarked, that Belvidera is the only truly valuable character; and indeed the principal fault of this drama seems a want of sufficient and probable motive.

      DRAMATIS PERSONÆ.

      VENICE PRESERVED.

      ACT THE FIRST.

      SCENE I. A STREET IN VENICE.
