Note 56 — Chapter XVII
Reading edition
The "Deserter of Naples" was revived at Covent Garden on May 23, 1810, not in March; nor in fact was this Grimaldi's first appearance as Skirmish. He had in the last season, in the Old Theatre, played that part for Mr. Charles Taylor's benefit, June 3, 1808. After its revival in May, the "Deserter of Naples" was repeated a few nights during the remnant of that season. "Mother Goose" was again revived on June 12th. The theatre closed on July 6th, and re-opened for the season of 1810-11, on September 10th, not October, as here stated.
