IHAVEbeen asked to write a few words of Preface to this little book of Plays. I may state that two are original; for the remainder (being too old an offender in this respect to do otherwise), I thankfully admit my indebtedness to French material, claiming, however, for myself, considerable alterations in plot, situations, etc., and complete originality of dialogue.
I beg to call the attention of Amateurs to these pieces—they having been written by me with a special view to Private performance.
