"This Comedy is called in the French Nanine ou le Préjugé Vaincu (Nanine or Prejudice Overcome). It is written as we are told in the title-page in verses of ten syllables. The absurdity of comedies in rhyme I have already remarked. The original begins thus: Il faut parler il faut Monsieur le Comte Vous expliquer nettement sur mon Compte.The reader cannot but observe what villainous rhymes Comte and Compte are and perhaps will more readily forgive my reducing this comedy into plain prose. It was produced in 1749."-Voltaire Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order.
