A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Englishman through out Europe, and even in fome parts of A fia, to foften the forrows of the Prifoner, excited mthe mind of the Author the fubjedt of the following pages, which, formed into a dramatic ftory, have produced from the Theatre a profit far exceeding the ufual pecuniary advantages arifing from a fuccefsful Comedy. The uncertainty in what part of the Eaft the hero of the prefent piece was (at the time it was written) difpenfing his benevo lence, caivfed the Writer, after many refearches and objections, to fix the fcene on the ifland of Sumatra, where the Englifh fettlement, the fyftem of government, and every defcription of the manners of the peo ple, reconcile the incidents of the Play to the ftrifteft degree of probability.
