indebted for several dtamatic pieces, strunglY CIJ,
iaeterised by original humour. Tne farce of

an outline of the plot
Makefast, an old attorney, wishes to compel lees

old woman, who dresse4 in the Style of ibe
centary, and his. nephew, whom he expects i.
Yorkshire—of each of which persons be gives -
accurate description.
The business of the piece chiefly consists Cd'
nieleon's various transformations during his iin-ec,
view with Adelaide. Having procured admittati
into Makefast's house as Lady Peppercorn, 13° ry
there obliged to transform himself into the likene:ri
of Malachi, and, finally, into that of Laglast, h

The author has conducted this plot in such a aril;
