The scene lie partly near the Lakes in West-
moreland, and partly in Wales. The fable in a
great degree depends upon the will of Lord Da
•Mallory's grandfather, by which
.Lady Julia Sod,
ford is compelled 'either to receive the hand of Lord
De Mallory. in man iage, or' forfeit the wh..le of her
fortune. That young Lady, who has not, seen his'
Lordship for some years, became early prepossessed
againathimi- and rather than marry against her in-
clination, quits De Mallory Castle, and places her-
self under the protetlioe of Mr.' Heartworth, a plain,
blunt; honest country gentleman, whose tether
having married a sister of the deceased Lord De
Mallory, was the-innocent cause of her present em-
barrassing situation. .The Countess Dowager De
Mallory, vexed at the refusal of Lady Julia Sand-
ford to marry her son, upon his return trout abroad,
endeavours to incense him against that y.,ung Lady,
by stating, that the cause or her abrupt departure
was a secret affection for Sir Harry Aspen, and
strongly urges him to fulfil the intentions of his
grandfather, by offering his hand to Miss Alford. •
Lord' De Mallory, whose inclinations towards Lady,,
Julia Sandford are very different front these ,of that
yoUng Lady towards him,, goes in pursuit of the
runaway, and arriving at the house of Mr. Heart-
worth, under the assumed name of his friend Major
Clayton, prevails upon Dr, Sultan (a stif-statticient,
coxcomb) to be admitted to a party of pleasure on
the. Lake of Windermere, in a fete given by Mr. •
ticdetworth• in honotir of Lady Julia's arrival.. In
the course of this aquatic excursion,, ciruutnstances
occur by which the assumed Major Clayton wins
.the atfectioes'of La.ly Juba, and strongly 'ingratiates
nireself an the good opinion of Mr. Heartworth,
wuto, up, n tire recommeudation of br7,
gitira him to hea he officer of that name, whose sal-
laniconduet in the Est Indies he had read ati
mutt of in - The Gazettt Extraordinary. Mr.
lieertaeorth accidentally discovering the muttial.pf-
kai:et of Lord De Mallory ' and Lady Julia,' he
presses the.lattri,to accept his Lordship'. hand but
he, indignant at his rejection. as Lord De Mallory,
declines that !wow.; and leaves them abruptly.—
' Lady Julia, in this perplexing situation, is prevaiied
upon by Randall to return to De' Mallory Castle, to'
viedicare her character from the unjust imputations
of the Dowager -Countess Do Mallory—An eclair-.
c;ssement takes place- bet weer all the parties con-
cerned in the Will of Lora De Mallory's gran&
. father,
.and his .Lordship is united to Lady J uha,
with the frill consent of his mother, whose resent*:
menu and pride seem to be, softened by the posited
-et' general 'happiness.
This play is the.avowed production- of Mr. Hot,'
MAN, Whnseanecesss in former dramatic works ea-,
turallY excited expetlations in his favour, and it is
no More than justice to sly that those expeatitioes
were not disappointed. Though there is nothing
that may be considered as absolutely hew, in tire
. table, yet it is constructed in such a manner as 'to
eXcita a itiong interest. The- author has shewn
much ingenuity in varying and relieving those scenes'
which are of a-tender qr pathetic nature with those'
which. , ate caiculated :to excite merriment. ' The
'Sentiments in general are natural and well. express-
ed. There is no attempt at what is called pretty
consisting of flowing language and the at.
tettation of poetical. embellishment. The langbage
is cuffed, tmsy, .and often. elegant. 'The chief at-
tempt at novelty of character is :in' the part of Dr.
Stittall,.a part -that is'evidently written in coMpli-
meet to the taste of the times, which has been so
aceA•toined to something of awhimsical and eccen-
tric description, tharse comedy, without .a eharader
of that kind, would he deemed insipid indeed, how-
atY.ql' it might be recommended. by an interesting
fible, or tannin:lent founded upon those, of real life.
