Excerpt from Eugene Aram The novel of Eugene Aram, by Edward L. Bulwer, and the historical facts of Eugene Aram's life, are familiar to all readers. It may not, however, be so generally known that before Bulwer wrote his novel he commenced a Tragedy on the same subject which he prosecuted through one entire Act and part of another, and then discontinued for the novel. The following Play may be regarded as founded on these two works. The author has derived from the novel the characters and the foundation of the plot, but the conduct of the story throughout, the scenes, and situations, are materially altered, and designed to be more intense and dramatic, while the language is entirely different from that of the novel, except in a few unimportant places. This Play, therefore, is not to be regarded as a dramatization of the novel. Of the dramatic fragment of Bulwer, the author has used the whole of the First Act, - making only a few additions and omissions to suit his own taste and design, - and also a portion of a scene in the Second Act.
