[Dr. Johnson observed of this performance, that it was " a great gun without powder and ball."] On the title-page of a copy of it presented by Mr. Capell, together with his Shakspeariana, to Trinity College, Cambridge, is the following manuscript note : " Seen through the press by Mr. H, &c. Note in p. 18 added, and the postscript new-molded by him. E. C." i. e. Edward Capell.

From the foregoing circumstance it appears that Mr. H (like Congreve's Petulant) affifted in writing a letter to himself. This epiftle, however, (as we have fince been informed,) received some

additional touches from the pen of the late Lord Dacre. Tantæ molis erat. But all would not fucceed. The subscribers to Mr. Capell's notes were so few, that his editor was ashamed to print their names; and the book itself is become waste paper.
