tho merits OF the translation. The play, un
questionably, has strong dramatic bearing
many fine situations, brilliant dialogue, and .
sasirieal PURPOSE The Baroness SeTdDtiae is 8
creature full OF frenzy, and aboundiug in emo
tional capacities; and the character affords op-
portunitics for the exercise OF the highest
1uiuetic talent 1t part that Clara Morris OF
Rose Eytinge might make famous. In saving
this, however, it is necessary to have q reserra-
tion. From literary point If view, the part
has no conference or consistency. The Udtpnessi is
not zeaot, bgot, hypocrite lunatic, or saint. Her
repentance seems at times to he morbid. and at
other times 10 be Insnccrc; while her ndju just
uacnt Of human methods by divine standards,
and her project Of vicarious atonement, are
not permanent but sp2smodic. She abaudons
her intention at last without sufficient reason,
and holds it when she has the best reason for
abandoning it. She ilings herself into the arms
Of q former lover in order to obtain the means
for expiation, and lies with facility and a
colossal impudence worthy of better cause.
1t is we'll enough to say that the character Of
thczealot is always full OF contradictions, but it
need not be full Of paradoxes. The Baroness
ought 10 be one thing or the other; on the whole,
she would be more enchanting as 6 bud, bold
woman. If she would agree under this condi-
