A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Andrew Cherry, the Author of the Soldier s Daughter, was an Actor of repute upon the London Stage, and from the practical knowledge of the clap-traps of his profession, availed himself of a time to produce this play, when England was in a perfect blaze of patriotism ;when every man was a volunteer, and every boy a soldier, anxious to defend his native land from the threatened invasion of Buonaparte. At such a time, with such a theme upon every tongue, not to have applauded patriotic speeches, uttered by a young and handsome woman, would have been worse than treason; the A uthor, therefore, risked no failure, for he had carried his audience by a coup-de-main. No Play has been more roughly handled by Critics, or more warmly applauded by the audience assembled to witness its representation ;and, although the characters belong to a past age. Governor Heartall, Widow Cheerly, and Timothy Quaint, will always keep it among the catalogue of Acting Plays. The dashuig style of the laughing young widow, making her a favorite part, with Actresses of eminence, to select, for their debut, before a strange audience; and improbable as the incidents may be, they never fail to meet the approbation of the audience, who, having enjoyed a hearty laugh, are not so captious when leaving the theatre, as to find fault with the author of their amusement.
