ments have an extensive influence upon the manners of Society.  When well regula
ted, and the pieces for representation well selected both as to matter and manne

t what shall we say when both these ends are disregarded; when moral virtue is b
anished from the scene, and purity of taste is destroyed by affected language an
d pantomimical decorations?  Improvements in almost every art and science have b
een within a few years, rapid and important.  But that is not the case with the 
stage; nor can it be, while Kotzebue and his friends usurp the venerable boards
