Excerpt from Dramatic Works, Vol. 1 of 3 I believe few plays have ever adventured into the world under greater disadvantages than this. First, as it succeeded a comedy which, for the continued Space of twenty-eight nights, received as great (and as just) applauses, as ever were bestowed on the English Theatre. And secondly, as it is co-temporary with an entertain ment which engrosses the whole talk and admiration of the town. These were difficulties which seemed rather to require the superior force of a Wycherley, or a Congreve, than of a raw and unexperienced pen; for I believe I may boast that none ever appeared so early upon the stage. How ever, such was the candour of the audience, the play was received with greater satisfaction than I should have promised myself from its merit, had it even preceded the Provoked Husband. But after having returned thanks to the spectators, I cannot rest till I have been in some measure grateful to the performers. As for Mr. Wilks and Mr. Cibber, I cannot sufficiently acknowledge their civil and kind be haviour previous to its representation. How advantageously both they and the other personages set off their respective parts, at that time, has been spoken of by much politer and better judges than myself. Lastly, I can never express my grateful sense of the good nature of Mrs. Oldfield; who, though she had contracted a slight indisposition by her violent fatigue in the part of Lady Townly, was prevailed on to grace that of Lady Matchless; which placed her in a light so far inferior to that which she had in the other. Nor do I owe less to her excellent judgment, shown in some corrections, which I shall, for my own sake, conceal. But the ravishing perfections of this lady are so much the admiration of every eye and every ear, that they will remained fixed in the memory of many, when these light scenes shall be forgotten.

Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Molière, Vol. 1 of 3: Rendered Into English by Henri Van Laun It is always diflicult to state when a playwright has taken from any other author, for the saying, _7e frena's mou oien partout ou je le trout/e, has covered, and still covers, a multitude of literary sins. More over, Moliere possessed a power of absorption and assimilation which enabled him so to vivify the ma terials he borrowed that they became new creations Of incomparable value. In this sense, to take an idea or a mere thought from another author can hardly be called an imitation; and though Moliere, in his first two or three plays, translated several scenes from Italian authors, he has scarcely ever done so in his latter pieces. To mention which of his comedies I consider, or rather which are generally thought, the best, would be difficult, where everything is so emi nent; for in all his plays characters will be found which demonstrate his thorough knowledge of human nature, and display his genius. To discover these little peculiarities in which the specific difference of character consists; to distinguish between what men do from custom or fashion, and what they perform through their own natural idiosyncracy; to select.

The greatest fpleasure of an audience is a chase of wit kept up on both sides, and swi tly managed: And this our forefathers (if not we) have had in Fletcher's plays, to a much higher degree of perfection than the French poets can arrive at.

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Plays, Vol. 1 of 3: With His Life; Histories The inquiry will naturally suggest itself to most readers at all conversant with Shakespearian criticism, What can be the use of any more editorial labour upon Shakespeare, and especially by an American editor After the immense labours of a long succession of critics, most of them learned, industrious, and acute, -some of them among the greatest literary names of the last or the present century, - what can be contributed now and here, either to the purity of the Poet's text, or the illustration of his thoughts? In short, it may be asked, Why would not the wants of the American public be better supplied by a reprint of some one or other of the later and more perfect English editions, than by any attempt at a new one C? These, or similar inquiries, would have occurred to no one sooner than to the present editor himself, had he found his own task undertaken by another. The reply can be best given by stating the manner in which he was led to engage in a labour which he would never have undertaken, Voluntarily, from the first, though it has since proved to him one of those labours we delight in.
