These NOTES contain material and observations taken largely from research notes collected in the course of writing my book two previous books respectively entitled Drury Lane Drama Factory: Stephen Price, Yankee Impresario, and A Life in the Georgian Theatre: George Yarnold Comedian: 1814-1847 published by Blurb in 2016 and 2021.
