Excerpt from Married and Single: A Comedy, in Three Acts, First Performed at the Theatre-Royal, Haymarket, on Friday, July 16th, 1824; To Which Is Prefixed, an Exposure of a Recent Little Proceeding of the Great Director of the Theatre Royal, at the Corner or Brydges Street

It is now upwards of eighteen months since I read a French Drama called Le Célz'bataz're et l'homme fifarié The piece, though not remarkable either for wit or humour in its dialogue, nor exhibiting even the shadow of a cha racter, yet contained three or four ludicrous Situations. Those who are at all acquainted with the French Theatre are aware that such a material is insufficient for the English stage; and that by a mere plodding translation, made with the help of Nugent's pocket-dictionary, it would no more become an English Comedy, than a French Melodrama, by similar drudgery, would start forth an English Tragedy. The piece, too, contained one capital defect: the author did not accomplish his own intention.
