Event Comment: MMossop has done so much Honour by his late performances, to the presages I made of him, that he has converted that into a credit to myself, which I meant as a favor to him. [Favorable comments on Ross, followed by comment on Bland who] is now to appear as Polydore at Covent Garden. He set out with disadvantages; the others had the advantage of appearing in the provinces, but Bland is to make his first appearance before a crowded audience (Inspector No 195, Daily Advertiser and Literary Gazette). [See 17 Oct.

Afterpiece Title: Merlins Cave

Event Comment: long letter appeared in the General Advertiser favoring support of places of public entertainment for the lower classes: That Spectacles such as Rope Dancing, Tumbling and Feats of Activity, are the most harmless and best accommodated to the Genius of the Common people of any which are exhibited, will be evident on considering that they neither harden the heart, pervert or inflame the Inclinations, nor corrupt the principles, but simply gratify the curiosity, the only means by which the populace can receive pleasure from objects of this kind."
