TO THE READER.
permit me to mention my obligations to him for the interest he has taken in its success.
I must likewise beg that Mr Siddons and Mrs H. Siddons will accept my best thanks, for the great and successful exertions they have made in the two first characters in the play. To Mr Siddons I am doubly indebted, both as an able actor, and a diligent and friendly manager, who has taken great pains in adapting and preparing it for the stage.
To Mr Terry, and the other actors, I offer many thanks.
