[<i>The Theatrical Review</i>, 1757-58, p. 48, comments on the afterpiece]: I read the farce before I could see it performed; the judgment I then passed on it was not in its favor, and the exhibition did not make any material alteration in my way of thinking. I laughed indeed much more than I had done in reading it, but on recollection I was not a little displeased to find that I was laughing at an individual not at a species.
