Excerpt from Begone Dull Care: A Comedy, in Five Acts, as Performed at the Theatre-Royal, Covent-Garden Were there no dramatic writers, there would be no dramatic critics; and therefore is it not singular that the latter, living by the former, should be so frequently endeavouring to destroy them? Not at all - for could critics live if they did not make war against authors? Would a Review, or a Newspaper, that praised every body, be read by any body? Certainly not. And consequently, since the Excerpt from Begone Dull Care: A Comedy, in Five Acts, as Performed at the Theatre-Royal, Covent-Garden Were there no dramatic writers, there would be no dramatic critics; and therefore is it not singular that the latter, living by the former, should be so frequently endeavouring to destroy them? Not at all - for could critics live if they did not make war against authors? Would a Review, or a Newspaper, that praised every body, be read by any body? Certainly not. And consequently, since the fame and the sale of critical publications depend entirely on their severity, let authors upbraid the readers, and not the writers of abusive articles. To those Readers then - those good-natured, liberal Readers, who encourage and compel critics to be severe; I shall point out some of the difficulties attendant on dramatic composition. First Difficulty - to please Yourself. Second Difficulty - to please the Manager. Third Difficulty - to please the Actors. Fourth Difficulty - to please the Licenser. Fifth Difficulty - to please the Audience. Sixth Difficulty - to please the Newspapers. Add to all this, the actors must please not to be taken ill - the weather must please not to be unfavourable - the deposing theatre must please not to put up strong bills, and then! - what then? Why then - ´´Please to pay the bearer four hundred pounds!´´ ´´Ay, but´´ say these good-natured Readers ´´there are other advantages attached to a popular Play! - the being noticed - followed and admired!´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
