 | Adelaide : or The Emigrants |  |
Many blemishes will be found in this tragedy. The author would have endeavoured to render it more deserving of publication, if the laborious studies of his profession had allowed him to devote to its original composition, and subsequent correction, the toil, which he is well aware that so adventurous an undertaking must require. He submits it to the public with a diffidence, which the success of its representation has not tended to remove; for he is sensible that whatever beauty it appeared to possess, was reflected from the young lady who performed the part of Adelaide.
To the other performers the author is much obliged for their exertions.
This tragedy is not printed exactly as it was represented, as many alterations and omissions were made when it was already in the press.
