Some curious particulars in regard to a striking likeness of
persons. There was never, perhaps, a perfect resemblance.
Some contemporary memoirs, however, make mention of
different twins, whose complexion, stature, features and
even inclinations resembled each other in so great a degree,
that those who were most accustomed to see them, were often
mistaken on their account. These mistakes are sufficient to
justify the English comedy of errors, and the fable of the
comedy of Menechmes, which Renard an imitator of Plautus,
has made appear with so much success on the French theatre.
