The Double-Dealer, a comedy by William Congreve Sir, -I heartily wish this play were as perfect as I intended it, that it might be more worthy your acceptance, and that my dedication of it to you might be more becoming that honour and esteem which I, with everybody who is so fortunate as to know you, have for you. It had your countenance when yet unknown; and now it is made public, it wants your protection. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
