_Newburgh Hamilton_ (Vol. iii, p. 117).--In Thomas Whincop's _List of
Dramatic Authors_, &c., the following notice of Hamilton occurs:--
"Mr. Newburgh Hamilton.
A Gentleman, who I think was related to, at least lived in the family
of Duke _Hamilton_; he wrote two Plays, called
I. _The Doating Lovers_, or _The Libertine Tam'd_; a Comedy acted at
the Theatre in _Lincoln's Inn_-_Fields_, in the year 1715, with no
success: but supported to the third night, for the Author's Benefit;
when the Boxes and Pit were laid together at the unusual Price of six
Shillings each Ticket.
II. _The Petticoat Plotter_; a Comedy of two Acts, performed at the
Theatre Royal in _Drury-Lane_."
