Excerpt from A Bold Stroke for a Husband: A Comedy, in Five Acts Plays, where the scene is placed ia a foreign country, particularly when that country is Spain, have a license to present certain improbabili'ties to the audience, without incurring the danger of having them called such; and the authoress, by the skill with which she has used this dramatic permittance, in making the wife of Don Carlos pass for a man, has formed a most interesting plot, and embellished it with lively, humorous, and affecting incident. Still there is another plot, of which Oliva is the heroine, as Victoria is of the foregoing; and this more comic fable, in which the former is chie y concerned, seems to have been the favourite story of the authoress, as from this she has taken her title.
