Event Comment: MMossop has done so much Honour by his late performances, to the presages I made of him, that he has converted that into a credit to myself, which I meant as a favor to him. [Favorable comments on Ross, followed by comment on Bland who] is now to appear as Polydore at Covent Garden. He set out with disadvantages; the others had the advantage of appearing in the provinces, but Bland is to make his first appearance before a crowded audience (Inspector No 195, Daily Advertiser and Literary Gazette).
