"M. Daru succédait (1806) à Collin d'Harleville, à ce talent bienveillant et aimable qu'on citera toujours pour avoir fait l'Optimiste, les Châteaux en Espagne et le Vieux Célibataire; auteur comique d'un genre tout particulier, qui avait ses comédies dans le cœur encore plus que dans la tête. M. Daru fit à son sujet un excellent discours, plein de sens et de nuances: il y appréciait 'les plans sages, la gaieté douce, le dialogue naturel, la versification pleine de grâce' de celui qu'on aurait pu indulgemment appeler un demi-Térence, de même qu'on avait dit de Térence que c'était un demi-Ménandre."
