"Having observed in the Course of our English History many Attempts made (by the Ministers of some artful and designing Princes) to weaken and undermine the ancient, legal, and fundamental Rights, Liberties, and Privileges of the City and Citizens of London: i thought myself obliged to Endeavor to collect and ascertain such Laws, Customs, and Usages of the said City, Wherein the Original Constitution and Foundation of its Government seem to have been laid; and whereby its Happiness, Opulency, and Glory do (under God and his present Majesty) evidently subsist." (Preface). Though little is known about him personally, Bohun was an attorney and prolific author who published well-received treatises on legal education, pleading, ecclesiastical law and other subjects.

Description
New York: Benjamin Blom, Inc.. Very Good+. 1971. Reprint. Hardcover. NOISBN . (no dust jacket, probably as issued) [nice sound clean copy, with just a touch of wear at the extremities; the bottom corners of the paper spine label have chipped off, but with no loss of text on the label itself]. Facsimile reprint of the original (1895) edition, which itself essentially reprinted the theatrical reviews from "The World" covering productions on the London stage during 1894. Preface by George Bernard Shaw; includes a "Synopsis of Playbills" for the year by Henry George Hibbert. Among the productions of interest: "Gentleman Jack," the British staging of an American play starring champion prizefighter James J. Corbett; Shaw's "Arms and the Man"; Ibsen's "The Wild Duck"; Sarah Bernhardt's season, during which she appeared in no fewer than six plays (including "La Dame aux Camelias"); and "The Professor's Love Story" by J.M. Barrie; and several Shakespearean revivals. The Christmas pantomimes are reviewed, of course, along with a whole host of forgettable (and indeed forgotten) musical farces, comic operas, duologues, burlesques, and at least one "mimodrama" (it was put on by "A French Company" and only played a week; maybe it's best we don't know any more). A sampling of titles will give something of the flavor of the theatrical world of the day: "An Old Jew"; "A Comedy of Sighs"; "Go-Bang" (Musical-Farcical Comedy in Two Acts); "Jaunty Jane Shore"; "Time, Hunger, and the Law"; "Little Miss Cute"; "A Trip to Chinatown"; etc. There are separate indexes for: Theatres; Plays; Authors; Actors; Actresses; Managers, Critics, Composers, &c. (The latter led me to an interesting discussion of Bram Stoker's attack on theatrical critics.) .
