MR. CAXTON. "You would say that, as Scarron called his work of fiction 'The Comic Novel, so Pisistratus might have called his 'The Serious Novel, or 'The Tragic Novel.

He soon scattered the foe, and ordered his sons to overtake them in their flight, to bid them return peacefully to their employments, and fear nothing from his vengeance.
