Fingal in Lochlin. Ein Schauspiel in fünf Aufzügen. Nach Ossian. Dessau.
A dramatization in prose with several lyric passages in verse based upon the story in Fingal, Book iii, p. 236, 16–p. 238, l. 5, and upon Cath–Loda, while an episode in Act iii, 3, is based upon Carric–Thura (Fingal’s battle with the Spirit of Loda). The drama was reprinted in Vol. 272 of the Deutsche Schaubühne, Wien. Another edition appeared in 1787, _q. v._ Gurlitt (1802, April 9, p. 8), Nicolai (1877) and others give the date of the first appearance as 1783, which is incorrect. The author of this and the drama Inamorulla (1783) is Karl Heinrich Wachsmuth, born 1760.
