Abstract: 

Figaro writes this Feuilleton primiarlily to resign his position as Dramatic Feuilletonist" and leaves the job to "younger, and brighter, and better hands" (200). Figaro claims that he has wanted to say "Adieu" to his "theatrical and operatic friends" for a while, but circumstances have finally compelled him to take this decisive step. He assures his Editor and readers, however, that there will still be plenty of his writing in the Saturday Press. Figaro also mentions that he has already chosen a very worthy successor.
