Publisher's Synopsis

""The Brother In Law: A Comedy"" is a play written by Henry Card in 1817. The story revolves around the character of Mr. Lovemore, who is married to a woman named Maria. However, Lovemore is not content with his marriage and seeks the affections of other women. His brother-in-law, Charles, becomes aware of Lovemore's infidelity and decides to take matters into his own hands. Charles concocts a plan to catch Lovemore in the act and expose him to his wife and the rest of society. The play is a satirical take on the societal norms of the time, particularly the idea of marriage and fidelity. It explores themes of love, deceit, and morality through witty dialogue and comedic situations. Overall, ""The Brother In Law: A Comedy"" is a humorous and entertaining play that offers a commentary on the societal values of the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
