Wall-Street; or, Ten Minutes before Three; a Farce, in Three Acts

Notes

The 2d and 3rd editions, also New York, 1819, contain a mocking dedication to Mordecai Manassah Noah ("You are a Jew, and I am a Christian--You are a Major and I am a Private ..."). Variously attributed to James Nelson Barker or a Mr. Mead. Cf. BAL 832, Sabin 101092, Wegelin’s Early American Plays, 1714-1830 (New York, 1900), p. 69. The competing arguments for and against M. M. Noah’s authorship are summarized by Daniel G. Siegel, of M & S Rare Books, Providence, R.I., in his Catalogue 85, Early American Literature ...(2008), no. 286. S & S 50018-50020.
