The Author composed this Play at the Age of eighteen. It was performed in the Year 1718, and ran five and forty Nights. Du Frêne, a celebrated Actor, of the same Age with the Author, played the Part of OEdipus; and Mademoiselle Des Mares, a very famous Actress, (who quitted the Stage a short Time afterwards) that of Jocasta. In this new Edition, the Part of Philocletes is restored, and stands as it was first represented.
