In this Work the Acted Drama is converted into the more popu-
lar form of narrative, for the purSose of rendering the real
beaupes of die Whitish .Stage more taaoiliu, amt even of ex-
tending that knowledge to circles where the Drama itself is
forbidden. With this view, the Authoress has turned Twenty of
the Tragedies and Comedies of the Dramatists above enume-
rated into as many Tales, in which the colloquial arid scenic
effect is preserved, and die whole rendered obedient to the
most relined ideas of delicacy, and subservient to the best purposes
of morality.
