Annotation:
	Traces provenance of scrapbooks of receipts from Drury Lane theatre gathered by managers Robert Wilks, Colley Cibber, and Barton Booth. Argues that this ephemeral evidence was preserved because of "the Shakespeare factor," that is, James Orchard Halliwell-Phillips and Henry Clay Folger's particular interest in preserving Shakespeareana. English summary, 183.
