KEY TO ABBREVIATIONS
Between 1776 and 1800 Drury Lane, Covent Garden and the Haymarket enjoyed, by virtue of the 1737 Licensing Act, what were popularly called "inviolable patents." With a proper license obtained from the Lord Chamberlain, however, plays, concerts, lectures and the like could be and were given at places other than the patent theatres. Cue titles for these places seem necessary. In the following list their locations, if known, are included. For the major theatres the shortened forms will be readily understood.
In the Calendar and Index the number added to each type of entertainment refers to the number of acts in that particular piece.
THEATRES
ARME
Assembly Room, Mile End Road, Mile End
CG
Theatre Royal, Covent Garden
CHR
China Hall, Lower Road, Rotherhithe
CII
Crown Inn, Lower Street (now Essex Road), Islington
