[131] _La Fausse Antipathie_; _Le Prejuge a la mode_; _L'Ecole des
amis_; _Meluside_; _Pamela_. _L'Ecole des meres_ was the play which
Frederick the Great described as turning the stage into a _bureau
general de la fadeur_.

[132] See especially _Nanine_, founded on the original _Pamela_.

[133] _Le Philosophe sans le savoir_; _La Gageure imprevue_.

[140] _Hernani_ (1839); _Le Roi s'amuse_; _Ruy Blas_; _Les

[142] _Francois le champi_; _Claudie_.

[143] _Le Gendre de M. Poirier_.

[155] As has been already seen, Sir David Lyndsay's celebrated
_Satyre of the Three Estaits_, a dramatic manifesto in favour of the
Reformation, is in form a morality pure and simple.
