Book Description
Mr. Sheridan was now approaching the summit of his dramatic fame; --he had already produced the best opera in the language, and there now remained for him the glory of writing also the best comedy.

Those of Congreve were all written before he was five-and-twenty.

Long after its first uninterrupted run, it continued to be played regularly two or three times a-week; and a comparison of the receipts of the first twelve nights, with those of a later period, will show how little the attraction of the piece had abated by repetition: --May 8th, 1777. L. s. d. School for Scandal.. 225 9 o Ditto..... 257 4 6 Ditto..... 245 o o Ditto A.B.... 75 I0 0 Committee.... 65 6 6 School for Scandal.. 262 19 6 Ditto..... 263 13 6 Ditto A.
