To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

127 observed to me^ that that perhaps might make it less amusing to the public of Paris ; for which reason I determined to write it in French." After thus crushing '"^ The Barber of Seville " in the preface to one of the volumes of his " Spanish Theatre," La Huerta announced for a succeeding volume a critique on "The Marriage of Figaro;" but just as he was about to begin his task, he gave it up, because, as he says, the piece was too contemptible in every way.
" This comedy is," says lie, " a c
...ontinuation of ' The Barber of Seville ;' it is conceived in the same spirit, and we find the same characters, with the exception of the two Gali- eians, so aptly christened La Jeunesse and L'Eveille,* but the faults in 'Figaro' are much more enormous {muclio mas enormes) than those in ' The Barber of Seville.' Calum- nies and sarcasms against our nation, want of propriety and truth, and a total absence of all probability, are the principal qualities which adorn the piece. For this reason, and because I have read a letter written to a Spanish iady, residing in Paris, by an inhabitant of Madrid, in which ' The Marriage of Figaro ' is analysed and ridiculed with sufficient grace, and as this letter is circulated in manu- script among all people of taste, I consider that I am dis- pensed from the painful task of reading such a contemptible farce again ; and yet this comedy, with all its faults, has partisans even among us.
