To Her Grace the Duchess of Mo?7tague, Mada m, THIS tragedy, which I do myfelfthe honour to dedicate ty your Grace, Is formed upon am onginal, which pal Fes for the nioft finifhed piece, in this kind of writing, that has ever been produced ia the French language. The principal action and main dillrefsof the play is offuch a nature, as leems more immediately to claim the patronage of a lady :A nd, when I confider the great and (hining characters ot antiquity, that are celebrated in it, 1am naturally direded to infcribe it to a perfon, whofe l Uullrious father has, by a long feries of glorious actions, (for the fervice of his country, and in defence of the liberties of Europe,) not only furpafled the generals of his own time, but equalled the greateft heroes of former ages. The name of Hcftjr could not be more terrible among the Greeks, than that of the duke of Marlborough has been to the French. The refined talfe you are known to have in all entertainments for the diverfion of the public, and the peculiar lite and ornanient your prefence gives to all aflemblies, was no fmall motive to determine me in the choice of my patronefs. The charms that fliine out in the perfon of your Grace, may convince every one, that there is nothing unnatural in the power which is afcribed to the beauty of A ndromache.
