Note 10 — INTRODUCTION

The complete title is "The Judgment of Paris. A Dramatic Entertainment In Dancing and Singing, After the Manner of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. As it is Perform'd at the Theatre-Royal in Drury Lane," with words by Congreve, music by Seedo and "Compos'd by J. Weaver, Dancing-Master." This work had its Drury Lane debut 6 February 1733, and The London Stage entry for 31 March 1733 reads: "John Banks's The Albion Queens ... Also The Harlot's Progress; or, the Triumph of Beauty" (LS, 3, I, 283). Many actors and actresses doubled (e.g., Mrs. Raftor is one of the "Graces" in the masque). No doubt the concluding "Masque" of The Harlot's Progress is Weaver's piece (p. 12).
