The Kentifto Barons. Op.
by the Hon. Francis North.
Acted at the Haymarket,
1 791. The fable of this
Opera nearly borders upon
tragedy, as it approaches
the provinces of terror and
pity. This play, though it
has many faults, has much
merit, and thefe were dis-
criminated by the audience.

his judgment, it having al-
ways met with fuccefs when-
ever acted or revived. For

The King, and the Miller
ofMantJieldy Farce, by R.„
Dodfiey. Acted at Drury-
Lane, 8vo. 1737. The plot
of this little piece is built on

truly dramatic conclufion.
The dialogue is natural, yet
elegant j the fatire poig-
nant, yet genteel ; the Sen-
timental parts Such as do-
