* The style all through this excellent play is gral and equal, and it abounds with a great variety of fine topics, and affecting pallages. Shakespear feems to have had a particular refpect for Faulconbridge, whofe character is well maintained; as is that of the King, than whom none could have been a mere proper perfon for tragedy. I know not by what fingular good fortune too it has happened, that the text is remarkably correct, and free from that multitude of miftakes wherewith most of our author's works fo unhappily abound. Mr. Dord.

The reader (fays Mr. Dodd) cannot but be ruck with the peculiar excellencies of this fpeech. We fee into the very workings of King John's troubled foul, while he is withing, yet afraid to difclofe his blooly purpose to lubert; and how finely does the author defcribe the fination the mind thould be in to hear and embrace fuch a propofal, the place finest to disclose it in, the time moft fuitable to pour it into the bofom of the hearer.

*With refpect to the three parts of Henry VI. Mr. Dodd has the following obfervation. "It is not the bufinefs or intention of this "work, to enter into a confideration of the genuineness of fome of "thofe compofitions which are generally received as Shakespear's, "though difputed, and I think we may add juftly, by the critics. "Among the reft none appear lefs worthy of our inimitable author, "than the three following, [the three parts of Henry VI.]. Some "fine strokes in them fufficiently affure us Shakespear lent a hand. "That he compofed the whole, I can by no means perfuade myself. "However, I leave it to the difcuffion of others; and only beg leave "to obferve, that there are befide the few paffages I have felected, "many fingle lines, which I could not well produce as beauties feparately confidered, that merit obfervation."

+ Nothing can more admirably picture to us the horror of a guilty confcience, than this frantic raving of the Cardinal :

When death's approach is feen fo terrible

Ah, what a fign it is of evil life.

Thus hath guilt, even in this world, its due reward, and iniquity is not fuffered to go unpunished. The well-weighing fuch frightful fcenes might, perhaps, be of no fmall fervice to fuch as defpife lectures from the pulpit, and laugh at the interested representations of divines. Mr. Dodd.
