Introductory matter
Advertisement.
I wish I could have brought this Play upon
the Stage with less Violence to its Author,
and not so much Responsibility on my own Part.
New Characters of Necessity require some Display.
Many original Passages of the first Merit
are still retained, and in the Contemplation of
them, my errors, I hope, will be overlooked or
forgiven: In examining the Brilliancy of a
Diamond, few People throw away any Remarks
upon the Dullness of the foil.
Richard Cumberland.
N. B. The Lines within Commas are additional.
