With refpedt to the firfl, it is univerfally allowed that the dramatic form is by far the mod perfed. The circumflance of leaving every character to difplay itfelf in its own proper language, with all the variatipns of tone and gefture which diftingurf Kit from others, and which mark every emotion of the mind; and the fcenic delufions of drefs, painting, and machinery, contribute to ftamp fuch an appearance of reality upon dramatic reprefentations as no other of the imitative arts can attain. I ndeed, when ill their perfe6lion, they can fcarcely be called imitations, but the very things themfelves; and real nature would perhaps appear lefs perfed than her counterfeit. The Drama has from early antiquity been diftlnguifbed into the two grand divifions of Tragedy and Comedy.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
