The Minor: A Comedy is a play written by Samuel Foote in 1760. The play tells the story of Sir George Touchwood, a wealthy man who is concerned about his son's frivolous spending habits. To teach him a lesson, Sir George pretends to disinherit him and instead leaves his fortune to his nephew, the titular Minor. The play follows the ensuing chaos as the Minor tries to navigate his newfound wealth while also dealing with the schemes of Sir George's conniving wife and her lover. The play is known for its satirical commentary on the upper classes and the foibles of human nature. It is also notable for its use of physical comedy and witty dialogue. Overall, The Minor is a classic example of 18th-century British comedy and a must-read for fans of the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
