INTRODUCTION. After what we have said of the former part, little remains to be added of this; but, that its Tragic scenes contain more poetical pathos, with less fire; and the Comic ones, in our idea, though some Critics think otherwise, less intrinsic humour: in the original it is loaded with superfluities; the Reader has it here considerably, and very well, purged; but, however reformed, it will never be a popular play on the stage.
