Don't try to come off with such misrabble lodgic as that above.
What do you?
You give four satisfackary reazns that the play is bad (the secknd is naught,--for your no such chicking at play-writing, this being the forth).

You show that the play must be bad, and THEN begin to deal with the critix for finding folt! Was there ever wuss generalship?
The play IS bad,--your right--a wuss I never see or read.

But why kneed YOU say so?
If it was so VERY bad, why publish it?
BECAUSE YOU WISH TO SERVE THE DRAMA! O fie! don't lay that flattering function to your sole, as Milton observes.

Do you believe that this "Sea Capting" can serve the drama?
Did you never intend that it should serve anything, or anybody ELSE?
Of cors you did! You wrote it for money,--money from the maniger, money from the bookseller,--for the same reason that I write this.

Sir, Shakspeare wrote for the very same reasons, and I never heard that he bragged about serving the drama.
