Event Comment: MMacklin has built two magnificent Rooms, ground floor [one] for Coffee, the other a [meeting] Room (Winston MS 8). [The Tuner pub. at 1s. by Dr Hiffernan. Fifty-three pages touching on theatre in general but particularly on Boadicia. There is no plot in the play...Boadicia is a monster well deserving what she suffers; therefore is neither an object of Terror or Compassion: but of Detestation. Sh deserts us in the third act...Tender-hearted Venusia is introduc'd to be whined to death...There is scarce any sentiment throughout; no moral to be deduced...the Diction...favors more of the level, languid, and underepic, than of the vigorous marrowy, tragic style...Never was Author more oblig'd to Performers, they acted to the full amount of his meaning; the Matter often fail'd Mr Garrick's continued and vigorous exertion."] Receipts: #180 (Cross)

The Manager of Covent Garden being under a necessity of interrupting the run of the new Tragedy of Philoclea by a Command, and a Benefit for Sga Nicolina Giordini (which was settled before the coming out of that play) has been so obliging as to give the Author the choice of a day for his second benefit; and many of his friends having taken places for Tuesday, as that would have been his sixth night in course, the Author, lest they should be disappointed, has chosen Tuesday for his second benefit
