Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Drama, a Collection of the Most Esteemed Dramatic Productions, With Biography of the Respective Authors, Vol. 12: And Critique on Each Play Sir, In Dedications, especially those which poets write, mankind expect to find little sentiment a less truth. A grateful imagination adorns its benefactor with every virtue, and even flatters with sincerity. Hence the portrait of each patron of the Muses is drawn with the same outline, and finished as a model of perfection. Instructed by the errors of others, I presume not to make the panegyric of the Prince of Wales, nor to extol the patronage of literature as the most shining quality of a prince. Your Royal Highness will permit me to mention one sort of patronage, which can never be praised too much; that, I mean, which extending its influence to the whole society, forms and excites the genius of individuals by exalting the spirit of the state Institutions that revive, in a great and highly civilized people, those virtues of courage, manhood, and love of their country, which are most apt in the progress of refinement to decay, produce at the same time that pleasing and ornamental genius, which cannot subsist in a mind that does not par take of those qualities which it describes.
