This Play is avowedly founded on the Romance of the Monk. The Author enters not into the discussion which that work has produced. His attempt has been to dramatise the leading incident of the Romance, without recourse to supernatural agency. Happy shall he feel, if what he has done be thought not to discredit a production, of which the interest has never been exceeded. For difference of opinion he is fully prepared:—but the generous approbation of the Author of the Romance might console him under any objections from the uncandid;— those of Genius and Judgement it is becoming to bear with fortitude and respect.
To the acting of Mr.Kemble the Author has so great obligation, that it would be a treason against excellence not to leave his sense of it upon record. He has many acknowledgements to make to his other Friends, for doing much, where he knows himself to have done less.
