NOTE.
The Story upon which ‘The Palace of Truth’ isfounded is probably as old as the ‘Arabian Nights.’‘The Princess’ is a respectful parody of Mr. Tennyson’sexquisite poem. It has been generally held, I believe, thatif a dramatist uses the mere outline of an existing storyfor dramatic purposes, he is at liberty to describe his playas “original.”
W. S. GILBERT.
London, Nov. 18, 1875.
