Book Description

Excerpt from The Works of Molière, French and English, Vol. 3 Here are few Pieces, efpecially of three A83, fo fimple, fo polifh'd, and fo capious as this: Every Scene pro duces a new Incident, and thefc Inci dents, artfully unfolded, infenfibly lead to one of the molt beautiful Cataftrophes that was ever feen upon the Fremb Stage: The ddelpbz' of Terence only gave the Hint to the Scboalfor Husbands. In the Adelpbi two old Men of Oppofite Humours, one a Father, and the other an Uncle, gave a very very different Education, the one to his Son, and the other to his Nephew. In the Scbool for Husband: are two Guardians, who had each of them the Care of bringing up a young Girl, that was intrufied to them, the one of them being of a rigid Temper, the other of an indulgent one. The Franc/2 Poet has improv'd upon the Latinpne, in giving to his two Characters, not only the Concern of Fathers, but of Lovers likewife, an Intereft fo exquifite and lively, that it forms a Piece intirely new upon the firnple Plan of the ancient Author.
