From the Author's Preface:-
"The wide and still spreading popularity OF
"HoNE THEATRICALs," or Private HistriOnics
amongst the most fashionable and refined circles,
together with the repeated calls for form OF
Dramas or Plays, differing in their structure and
effects from those of other works in circulation,
have induced the Publisher to present this work,
in which will be found, along with some original
pieces, large number of the plays, comedies, and
farces of the most populsH -Dramatists, from the
days of Shakespeare to those of the present period
all or most of which are compressed into act,
and into pdrtOr scenes, or such as can easily be
arranged by the ordinary household resources.
1t has been the particular study and aim of the
compiler and publisher, to omit all sentences,
words or illusions, such as could be in the reno
test way Objectionable to the most fastidious, and
to retain the plot, the passion, and the moral OF
each play in such condensed form would rem
der them available, diverting. and elevatng
vehicle of amusement, for the PARLoR, the SCHOOL
ROOM, or the LYCEUM."
From tie Sunday Atlas.
Book OF PLAYS for Home Amusement By Silas
s. Steele, Dramatist.
These popular palor amusements have been the
means OF introducing some very pretty little
dramas to those who, from a religious notion,
tations.
There are few writer's in our country better cal
culated to write, compile, and adapt plays for
Parlor Amusements, than Silas s. Steele. Author
himself of over eighty plays, every one of which
bears the impress of master hand and containing
a moral which few authors deem requisite fer q
drama.
Perhaps a more perfect work of the kind is not
to be found at the present time in the world and
it certainly reflects highest credit the author
and publisher in the production of the one in CUES
ton. The insipid trash, and nonsenscal charades
and drawing-rOom Dramas which have seen
elegant, refined, interesting and amusing. Silas
