Excerpt from Three Plays: With a Preface Including Dramatic Observations, of the Late Lieutenant-General Burgoyne
Authors, who have had an intercourse of many years with the public, ought perhaps, before they bid a final adieu to the press, to leave a few of such admonitory hints to their successors, as their own experience may particularly suggest. A waste of much time and application to a fruitless study, in the early part of life, may be productive of the most serious evils: to a young man of a poetical and a sanguine spirit there is hardly any pursuit so forcibly alluring as dramatic composition; yet none appears so likely to involve him in disappointment.
