Event Comment: At
Shuter's Booth,
George Yard. At
Shuter's Warehouse [in advance notices]; At
Shuter's Theatrical Microcosm. [
The English Mirror is not
the name of a play.]
Mr Shuter begs leave to acquaint
the Public that his English Mirror is highly polished, and he hopes it will give
the greatest Satisfaction, especially as it is
the true English Manufacture reflecting
the most striking Views of Modern Times and National Glory. He would be very far from imposing upon
the Inhabitants of this great Metropolis, and, unconscious of a Puff, he takes upon him to say that
the Gay and Learned will find his Piece ornamented with a Festoon of Flowers ga
thered by an admitted Genius on
the Banks of
Avon and enriched with Wreaths twined by
the Fingers of
the Muses. Here it may be said
Pomona has given
the Apple Wit, in which every agreeable Flavour is combined, and
Bacchusr has sent a Store of genuine Falernian from a Receipt which anciently belonged to
Homer, and has
lately been discovered with
the Ruins of
Herculaneum. In fact we shall give a new Exhiliration to Mirth, and di
late the Sides of Laughter, make Vice bleed under
the corrective Lash, and give a Lecture that shall stimu
late Virtue to pursue
the Road of Happiness. [Repeated.
