Mrs. Millwood is beautiful, intelligent, and ambitious, but London gives her no means of support except to seduce men. Love for her leads eighteen-year-old Barnwell to deceit, theft, and murder. "What are your laws," Mrs. Millwood asks, "but the fool?s wisdom and the coward?s valor, the instrument and screen of all your villainies by which you punish in others what you act out yourselves, had you been in their circumstances? The judge who condemns the poor man for being a thief had been a thief himself, had he been poor. Thus you go on deceiving and being deceived, harassing, plaguing, and destroying one another, but women are your universal prey." First performed in 1731, The London Merchant became on of the most popular plays of the century. A chronicler of the age, Theophilus Cibber called it "almost a new species of tragedy."

Excerpt from The English Drama Purified, Vol. 1: Being a Specimen of Select Plays, in Which All the Passages That Have Appeared to the Editor to Be Objectionable in Point of Morality, Are Omitted or Altered; Containing the Gamester, Jane Shore, George Barnwell, Douglas, Lady Jane Gray To this I shall reply only by saying, that I conceive acie-rgyman to be labouring in his caning, in endea deavouring to remove impiety and immorality, wherever it may exist, and especially from a source of such ex tensive influence; that my endeavour has been to re move the world and the flesh from the Stage, and to fashion it according to the Doc-rams of Christ. I! Works are before the world let Oandour decide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
