Excerpt from A Sequel to the "Rejected Addresses," or the Theatrum Poetarum Minorum

The only alteration which has been made in this Second impression of this Volume (with thefiexception of two,or three little notes of' no importance), is the substitution ofsome ex tracts from an Opera sent into the Committee,ef 'drury-lane Theatre, in the place of part of a Comedy in rhyme, which, for immate rial reasons, has been expunged. The admirers of the picturesque in writing, will not com plain of this alteration. The author of this delicate morceau, is one of the last lingering disciples of the Della Cruscan School, which the united efi'grts of wits'and satyrists have al most contrived to exterminate. Still, however, it has, 'and so has Mr. Pupil, some ad miters in the present day. There are those (we chieﬂy female judges) who, for a pc Zchli'ar witchery of expression, and for richness of imagery and freshness of colouring, cousi gder the Author of this Opera, a second Shake pwie. We must differ from - these Critics.
