Note 20 — THE DRURIAD, &c.

The part of Bullock was performed, by Mr. Wathen, not for the public benefit, but his own. The good nature of a British audience was never better exemplified than in the above instance.⁠—Surely there never was such an age of toleration!⁠—Dibdin’s song of the Waggoner was also sung by our hero, to exhibit his talents in another point of view. To say the execution was intolerable is far from sufficient, and yet we have neither time nor patience to say more.⁠—All was hushed! for, at least half the audience was asleep.
