Drury Lane is a different matter. Not until 1741-2 do we possess day-by-day totals for a season there. In view of the comparative paucity of information about receipts at Drury Lane, neglect of one of the few sources of financial information available to us seems odd indeed. The MS at issue was quoted in print as early as 1939, and is cited in The London Stage (under the wrong reference number) - but no one has ever printed or analysed more than a small sampling of the figures available.
