uncertain.
The Mifer. Com. by T.
Shadwell, 4C.0. 1672. This
play, by the author's own
confeilion, is founded on the
A<vare of Moliere, which is
itfelf alfo built on the Aulu-
laria of Plautus. Shadwell,
however, has by no means
been a mere translator, but
has added considerably to
.his original.
the Mifer, Com. by H.
Fielding, 8vo. 1732. This
play was adljd with great
. applaufe at the Theatre
Royal in Drury-Lane, and
is the piece which now con-
tinues to be performed an-
nually.
The Mifer. Com. by J.
Ozell, i2mo. 1752. This
is nothing more than a lite-
ral translation of the cele-
brated French play of Mo-

by David Garrick. Adled
at Covent - Garden, 8vo.
1747. This farce met with
great fuccefs, and indeed
defervedly fo, being a laugh-
able diverting piece. The
characters of Flafh and Frib-
ble may perhaps be con*'
fidered as Somewhat outre,
and too much on the Cari-
cature, but that has ever
been allowed in farce, or
what the French call BafTe
Comedie, where probability
is frequently Sacrificed to in-
vention, and a ftn£t adhe-
rence to nature, or humour,
and ridicule. And, more-
over, the inimitable per-
formances of the author and
Mr. Woodward in thefe cha-
T«£ters Seemed to overbear
even the Slightest reflection
of this kind that might

presentation of what might
