Miftakes in this article are attended with many ill confequences ;they miflead our apprehenfions of duty ;they create ill-will, and become a fource of groundlefs antipathy between perfons, who fhould entertain fentiments of kindnefs and charity towards one another. I am forry that there fhould be any appearances of this kind amongft us at prefent, and would think myfelf very happy in contributing to remove them. We are alarmed with an imputation of, irreligion, which is caft upon the entertainments of the Theatre ;and it may be apprehended, that perfons who liften to this charge will think very unfavourably, if not with fome degree of antipathy, of their neighbours, who continue to take any part in fuch entertain ments. I hope that no perfon would chufe to bear the imputation of hating his brother without a cauie, and that every well-difpofed perfon will be glad to hear any obfervations which may help us to form a right judgment of one another. The Stage has fubfifted in Britain about two hundred years; it has been during this period the entertainment of people of diflin flion, and of others too, who were enabled to partake of it. Whether it has corrupted our people in any degree, is a queftion not eafily determined.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history of theater as entertainment in Britain, the controversy of its religious implications, and the theatrical features of tragedies and comedies. The author notes that plays had been the subject of public debate, with some arguing that they were immoral and offensive to religion. The author, however, argues that well-written and morally sound theatrical performances can have positive benefits for society. The author believes that tragedies and comedies can provide moral instruction and promote empathy in the audience through immersion into moving characters and situations. The author also dispels the idea that promoting plays encourages idleness or vice as theater can challenge immorality and encourage human connection.
