COMPLETE TITLE: The New Thespian Oracle; Containing Original Strictures on Oratory and Acting. And a Select Collection of all the Modern Prologues and Epilogues, Spoken at the Royal and private Theatres.
PUBLISHER:
Printed for Bentley; and Roach; and sold by all Booksellers.

The text repeats the notions found in other treatises on acting, stressing the importance of the voice and the figure, citing Quintilianus and reaffirming the importance of learning from nature. Because of the lack of any theoretical novelty, the interest of the text lies mostly in the selection of passages offered as exercises for actors and orators.

In the same year The Thespian Oracle; Or, A New Key to Theatrical Amusements (see) was published.
