ADVERTISEMENT.

THE Author of the following Drama is universally allowed to be the Garrick of the German Stage, and the Dramatic Rival of KOTZEBUE in the Closet.-The great Object of MR. IFFLAND, in all his Dramatic Productions, is to render the Theatre what it was in the palmy Days of Terence-a School of Morality, by exhibiting Virtue in all her native Charms, and Vice in all her Deformity; or, the Language of Pope,

"To wake the Soul by gentle Strokes of Art,
"To raise the Genius, and to mend the Heart;
"In conscious Innocence to make Men bold,
"Live o'er each Scene, and be what you behold!"
