37. The " Way of the World, " A " Comedy. " As it is Acted " At The " Theatre in Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, " By " His Maje?ty's Servants. " Written by Mr. Congreve. " [Quotation] London: " Printed for Jacob Ton?on, within Gray's-Inn-Gate next " Gray's-Inn-Lane. 1700.

This was the last of Congreve's plays to be performed upon the stage. It was presented by Betterton's company, but was a failure. "The unkind Reception this excellent comedy met with," said Charles Wilson, "was truly the Cau?e of Mr. Congreve's ju?t Re?entment; and upon which, I have often heard him declare, that he had form'd a ?trong Re?olution never more to concern him?elf with Dramatic Writings."

Quarto.
