cite Shakspere, and as being a good
model for young people who are ambi-
tious to cultivate the graces of speech.

Mr.. Darrach selects scenes from the

complete idea Of The plot, as well in
the delineations of life and character
as in the progress and movement of the
story, and each drama is arranged to
occupy about one hour and a half in

is so skilfully condensed that it is
easier to follow than in the entire play;
and this eXcision of extraneous matter
adds to the interest and excitement of
the plot.
