Comments:
Theatrical Review, 8 Jan.: Mr Baddeley's conception of Polonius's character is just and natural, and in every respect apparently agreeable to the author's intention. It is worthy to be remarked, that through the whole, he never sports with propriety, or through wantonness, degrades, this loquacious old Courtier into a buffoon, as some we have seen have done. Receipts: #287 12s. (Treasurer's Book)
