At lessons, music, romping, We,
A Baby Beauty clearly see,

On Large Paper, royal 8vo, with India Proof of the Etchings, £9, 9s.

"As regards mere faithfulness of translation, it is astonishingly correct. Besides writing a modest prefatory life, Mr Van Laun has prefixed to each play an Introduction containing all necessary information respecting its sources and circumstances, and has added to each an appendix of peculiar interest. These appendices contain full extracts from the plays in which English playwrights have done themselves the honour to 'convey' Molière's good things... The portrait of Molière is extremely fine."-Academy.

"Not only the best translation in existence, but the best to be hoped. It is a direct and valuable contribution to European scholarship."—Athenæum.
