Il testo, pubblicato nel 1746 come prima sezione di un'opera che nelle intenzioni dell'autore doveva essere più vasta, fu ripubblicato nel terzo volume (pp. 387-408) di The Works of the Late Aaron Hill, Esq.; In Four Volumes. Consisting of Letters on Various Subjects, And of Original Poems, Moral and Facetious, With an Essay on the Art of Acting (London, Printed for the Benefit of the Family, 1753; seconda edizione: London, Printed for the Benefit of the Family, 1754).
