The West Indian: A Comedy.
As it is performed at The Theatre Royal, in Drury-Lane.
By Richard Cumberland Author of the Brothers, and the
Fashionable Lover.
*** The Monthly and Critical Reviewers have been pleased to
give this performance the following character: it is "An
appeal to sound judgement and true taste, from the sterile
affectation of lovers of simplicity, and the unimpassioned
fecundity of those who put mere incidents into dialogue."
Month.---"We never received greater pleasure from any comic
performance of modern date, either in the closet or on the
stage." Critic.
