Theatrical Review: His [Duport's] execution is truly masterly, his tone very brilliant, and his taste pleasingly delicate and chaste. What he performs on this instrument is wonderful, when the genius of it is considered. As this celebrated Lady [Sga Sirmen] has been in England some time, her abilities are pretty generally known. Her tone and style of playing is very pleasing, and her execution truly chaste, without any of those unnecessary and extravagant liberties, which the generality of solo players on the Violin too frequently give in to

[The Westminster Magazine (March) commented: "One of those whims by which the public are continually influenced, has made it the ton to resort to this theatre to hear and see Miss Linley, the syren of Bath. This young lady who is greatly indebted to nature for the eclat with which she is followed, and not a little to the fortuitous concurrence of remarkable incidents in her life has drawn crowded houses incessantly; and this success has been insured by the constant attendance of his Majesty and the Royal family at this theatre."
