The West Indian: A Comedy. As it is performed at The
Theatre Royal, in Drury-Lane. By Richard Cumberland Author
of the Brothers, and the Fashionable Lover.
*** The Monthly and Critical Reviewers have been pleased to
give this performance the following character: it is "An
appeal to sound judgement and true taste, from the sterile
affectation of lovers of simplicity, and the unimpassioned
fecundity of those who put mere incidents into dialogue."

performance of modern date, either in the closet or on the
stage." Critic.
