Tats play agrees perfectly with the description given of it in the title it is certainly a most pleasant conceited comedy, rich in humour, and written altogether in a right merry vein. The humour is broad and strongly marked, and at the same time of the most diverting kind the characters are excellent, and admirably dis criminated; the comic parts of the play are written with most exquisite drollery, and the serious with great truth and feeling. Of the present piece there were seven editions, Within a short period, with all of which the present reprint has been carefully collated, and is now, for the first time, divided into acts and scenes.
