Wentworth Smith : The Hector of Germany, or The Palsgrave

Tuesday, 1 August 1826: 'Yesterday evening [...] I took to arranging the old plays of which Terry had brought me about a dozen and dipping into them scrambled through two -- One called Michaelmas Term full of traits of manners and another a sort of bouncing tragedy called The Hector of Germany or The Palsgrave. The last, worthless in the extreme, is like many of the plays in the beginning of the 17th. Century written to a good tune [goes on to comment further on language in seventeenth- century drama].'
