He had done *' The Tragedy Queen" (Mrs. Bracegirdle) for Mrs. Stirling at the Lyceum, and was experienced at such work. In this instance also he acquitted himself well, maintained the play at a reasonably high standard of literature and poetry, and, by compressing his version, greatly aided the English actress's chances of success, if, as I suppose, lack of power to sustain was one of her weaknesses in tragic work. Yet there still remained many and grave disadvantages, from which there was no e...scape for any English rendering of the play ^this one, in particular, that the French authors had cleverly woven into the fabric of " Adrienne's " rdle passages from the French classics, perfectly familiar, and therefore welcome, to Parisian audiences, but robbed of half their significance in a London theatre. In Act II, for example, occurs a charming passage between the lovers, when "Maurice" produces the bullet-pierced copy of La Fontaine's fables, that " Adrienne " had given him, whereby to improve his scanty knowledge of her language.
