First sentence: THE first attempt at investigating the sources whence Shakespeare drew the plots of his dramas was made by Gerard Langbaine, who gave some notes on the originals of most of our poet's plays in his 'Momus Triumphans: or the Plagiaries of the English Stage', 1688, and fuller notes in his scholarly work, 'An Account of the English Dramatick Poets', printed 1691.
