Author Description

Excerpt from The British Theatre, or a Collection of Plays, Which Are Acted at the Theatres Royal, Drury Lane, Covent Garden, and Haymarket, Vol. 24 of 25: Printed Under the Authority of the Managers From the Prompt Book. With Biographical and Critical Remarks; Road to Ruin, Deserted Daughter, Stranger, De Monfort, Point of Honour The nice art, with which the conversations in this play are written, will, by a common reader, pass un admired and unnoticed. Some of the most important speeches consist of no more than one line. The grand skill has been to make no skill evident - to force a reader to forget the author, but to remember his play, and each distinct character.
