M*. PIINTII,
A $ nothing can have a more direst tendency towards
JT\~ infufing into young minds the principles of virtue
jyrd honour than theatrical exhibitions, when under the
ihdifper.fablc regulations of morality and decorum, inde
pendent of the advantages derived from their foftening and
giving a polilh to the manners, I cannot help expreflingmy
furprize and difappointojem at thc stop which seems put
to their further cxiftcnce, efpeciallv as the applause so
jufdy bestowed on their fi.ft essay might havcAnfured to
tb.e gentlemen performers a continuance of the patronage
and approbation of the publick.
Whatever the caufc may be that has deprived us of so
rational and pleasing an entertainment, we have only to
Jament its conl'equences, to wish fora fpeddf removal of
it, and to hope that the gentlemen who so laudably set on
Toot ti.is agrerable mode of relieving the difticff sos our
felljw creatures, and contributing to thc iultruftion and
entertainment of ourfelvea, would continue to perfeveie
ii it, and by that m-ans rrlcrit at once the prayers iif the
unfortunate, as well as the approbation and esteem of d
very man of fcnlimentaud tafee in this part of the world.
I am, Sir, your molt obedient lervant,
