'Monsieur de Pourceaugnac', acted on October 6, 1669, is nothing but
a farce. But Moliere excels in farce as well as in higher comedy, and
'Monsieur de Pourceaugnac' is one of the best of its kind. The
attacks upon the doctors of the time are not exaggerated. Moliere
acted the part of Mr. de Pourceaugnac.




PERSONS REPRESENTED.


MR. DE POURCEAUGNAC. ORONTE, _father to_ JULIA.
