Author Description

Excerpt from A Bold Stroke for a Husband: A Comedy, in Five Acts In the delineation of this lady, it is implied that she is no termagant, although she so frequently counterfeits the character. This insinuation the reader, if he pleases, may trust - but the man who who would venture to marry a good impostor of this kind, could not excite much pity, if his help. Mate was often induced to act the part which she had heretofore, with so much spirit, assumed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
