ADVERTISEMENT. THE object of the present Publication is so distinctly, although briefly stated in the Title Page, as to leave further explanation unnecessary. On the wit and talent with which the performances of Farquhar, Centlivre, and Congreve are replete, it is needless to enlarge; but the reasons must be obvious, why many will be gratified by being able to possess, ⚫or to present to others, the successful Comedies of Cumberland, of Murphy, of Cowley, und of Sheridan, detached from those of earlier date. |
