It will not easily be imagined how much Shakspeare ex- cels in accommodating his sentiments to real life, but by com- paring him with other authors. It was observed of the ancient schools of declamation, that the more diligently they were fre- quented, the more was the student disqualified f...or the w^orld, because he found nothing there which he should ever meet in any other place. The same remark may be applied to every stage but that of Shakspeare. The theater, when it is under any other direction, is peopled by such characters as were never seen, conversing in a language which was never heard, upon topics which will never arise in the commerce of mankind. But the dialogue of this author is often so evidently determined by the incident which produces it, and is pursued with so much ease and simplicity, that it seems scarcely to claim the merit of fiction, but to have been gleaned by diligent selection out of common conversation and common occurrences.
