From the London Chronicle. All in the Wrong.
As contemplation, even upon subjects apparently trifling,
often furnishes a train of useful ideas, I cannot help
furnishing you with my thoughts, relative to an incident of
last week: I mean the anniversary of his majesty's
accession to the throne being celebrated, at Drury-Lane
Theatre, by a comedy, with the whimsical, yet significant,
title of All in the Wrong. What could be meant by this
choice, at such a point of time, I am at a loss to
understand; as we know, by British policy, a King can do no
wrong. I am apt to view it as a stroke of keen general
satire: To justify and explain this opinion, will not, I
hope, prove a fruitless or superfluous undertaking. . .
