Excerpt from The Monthly Review, Vol. 2: From May to August Inclusive, 1826; With an Appendix
We have, however, every disposition to do full justice to the curious interest and real merits of Mr. Sharp's volume. If he has been able to add no novel facts or fresh conclusions to those already familiar to the dramatic scholar, his researches have certainly con siderably augmented the general mass of details relating to the machinery of the pageants, the costume of those rude theatres, and lie dramatis persona: of the mysteries; and though the particulars which he has brought forward prove only the perfect similarity of these Coventry exhibitions to the performances at Chester, York, and various others of our provincial towns, yet the result of the comparison is satisfactory and interesting. Mr. Sharp, moreover, has introduced many incidental and correlative particulars on some of the manners and customs of our ancestors: several of the plates which adorn his volume are highly curious; and the work, which is handsomely got up, may altogether be pronounced a very pleasing and acceptable contribution to our archaeological literature.
