As this species of composition seems, more, perhaps, than any other, to require that knowledge of human nature and the world which experience alone can give, it seems not a little extraordinary that nearly all our first-rate comedies should have been the productions of very young men. Those of Congreve were all written before he was five-and-twenty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
