Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, with 10 full-page Tinted Illustrations, 7s. 6d.

"Whatever Sheridan has done, has been, par excellence, always the best of its kind. He has written the best comedy (School for Scandal), the best drama (the Duenna), the best farce (the Critic), and the best address (Monologue on Garrick); and, to crown all, delivered the very best oration (the famous Begum Speech) ever conceived or heard in this country."-BYRON.

"The editor has brought together within a manageable compass not only the seven plays by which Sheridan is best known, but a collection also of his poetical pieces which are less familiar to the public, sketches of unfinished dramas, selections from his reported witticisms, and extracts from his principal speeches. To these is prefixed a short but well-written memoir, giving the chief facts in Sheridan's literary and political career; so that with this volume in his hand, the student may consider himself tolerably well furnished with all that is necessary for a general comprehension of the subject of it."-Pall Mall Gazette.
