Excerpt from Guilty or Not Guilty: A Comedy in Five Acts; First Acted at the Theatre-Royal, Haymarket; May 26th 1804 However ample the Author's prior obligations to a moil liberally indulgent Public, the reception given to this present attempt has infinitely added to the grateful sense he entertains of them. In adventuring on a new scene of action, he is proud to have experienced fresh proofs of that generous consideration which, on the part of the audience, has ever been extended to his former efforts; and when the Acting Manager and all the Performers have also done their utmost in support of the Author, it would be as ungrateful to omit as it would be improper to particularize the force and effect of their several exertions.
