_The Tragedy of Polidus_ (Vol. vii., p. 499.).--This tragedy, printed at
London 1723, 12mo., has a farce appended to it called _All Bedevil'd, or
the House in a Hurry_. Browne was patronised by Hervey, the author of the
_Meditations_. The scene of the drama is in Cyprus. The lover of Polidus,
"the banished general," and Rosetta, daughter to Orlont, chief favourite
to the king, form the groundwork of the plot. My copy was formerly in
the collection of plays which belonged to Stephen Jones, author of the
_Biographia Dramatica_.
