Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Drama, Vol. 3: Comprehending the Best Plays in the English Language; Operas and Farces IT is not easy, at the present day, to determine, whether the ancients were acquainted with that species of dramatic writing, which we call Farce. By some the Satiric Drama of antiquity is considered as corresponding to this style; while others are of opinion, that the Middle Comedy of the Greeks, is the true original of the English Farce. Instead of entering into a learned and tedious discussion of this question, it will be sufficient at present to observe, that Farce cannot be deemed an ex act and legitimate species of the Drama. It delights in exaggeration; and, in every portrait, it enlarges the features of the individual beyond their true pro portion': so that, instead of real character, it exhibits to the view of the be holder an overcharged caricature. Its object is not so much to promote morality, as mirth and, while Comedy aims, by a series of agreeable incidents, to inculcate a precept, the only end of Farce is to excite a laugh. Nor is this a matter of so small importance as might at first be imagined. For Sterne (see the Dedication to Mr Pitt in Tristram Shandy) has observed, that every time a man smiles, but much more so when he laughs, it adds some thing to this fragment of life. If this doctrine be true, the contents of this volume will certainly contribute something towards the longevity of the age.
