The Westminster Magazine this month (p. 557) remarked upon Woodward's Prologue, "in part a parody on the celebrated speech of Cato in Addison's Tragedy....He informed the audience that they had assembled their Theatrical troops against the approaching winter; and that their leaders had met in council to consider the best method of supporting their campaign; but as their forces were numerous and strong, he hoped the town would not refuse them sufficient subsidies especially...as their Gods must aat, and without money could not even raise a Devil."] Receipts: #184 4s. 6d.
