The first edition in English of a patriotic play by French actor and dramatist Dormont de Belloy (1727-1775). The only actor to have been accepted into the Académie française, De Belloy's play received a positive response, despite depicting a French defeat, due to its emphasis on French devotion in the face of adversity.
