The Treasurers is a play written by John Cooke in 1842. The play is set in the fictional town of Wexford and revolves around the treasurers of the town, who are responsible for managing its finances. The treasurers are corrupt and embezzle money from the town's funds. The play follows the efforts of a young lawyer, William Fitzgerald, to expose the treasurers' corruption and bring them to justice. Along the way, Fitzgerald falls in love with the daughter of one of the treasurers, adding a romantic subplot to the play. The Treasurers is a commentary on the corrupt nature of those in positions of power and the importance of holding them accountable for their actions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
