Excerpt from Robert Emmet: A Drama in Four Acts, Newly Arranged The idea and several passages of this drama, especially in the fourth act, were borrowed from that of James Pilgrim; but the rest and the arrangement of the plot is all new and original. It is also more in accordance with history; and the principal characters, such as Emmet's and Maria Curran's, which in the old drama had been left, as it were, in obscurity, are, in this, placed in appropriate prominence; which all renders this drama more interesting and important.
