Source Or Contemporary Comment: Morning Chronicle and London Advertiser , 24 Mar. 1783, satirically reports: 'Ben Johnson's Comedy of The Alchymist was certainly performed on three successive evenings of last week, in a private apartment of B-k-gh-m-house. Whether or not this Play was chosen in consequence of a hint lately given in the H---e of C---s, we will not pretend to determine.'
