Excerpt from Biographia Dramatica; Or a Companion to the Playhouse, Vol. 1 of 3: Containing Historical and Critical Memoirs, and Original Anecdotes, of British and Irish Dramatic Writers From the Commencement of Our Theatrical Exhibitions The same writer observes, that as pleasure is the pursuit of the greater part of mankind (and most Justly so, while this pursuit is continued under the guidance of reason), all well-regulated states have judged it proper, both in a political and moral sense, to have some public exhibitions, for the entertainment of the people.

In this respect, our British islands have been most eminent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
