Excerpt from Mirth and Song: Consisting of a Lecture on Heads

Every single Speaker, who, like me, attempts to entertain an Audience, has not only the censure of that assembly to dread, but also every part of his own behaviour to fear. The smallest error of voice, judgment, or delivery, will be noted: "All that can be presumed upon in his favour is a hope - that he may meet with that indulgence, which an English audience are so remarkable for, and that every exhibition stands so much in need of."

This method of lecturing is a very ancient custom; Juno, the wife of Jupiter, being the first who gave her husband a lecture, and, from the place wherein that oration was supposed to have been delivered, they have always since that time been called curtain lectures.
