Excerpt from What Is She?: A Comedy, in Five Acts, as Performed at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden

Sir,

The formal Dedication of so trifling a Performance, may, I fear, have the Appearance of Vanity; and I am perfectly aware, that the Suffrage of an Anonymous Author, is of small Value, where the Esteem of the World has already been so amply and so justly bestowed: but my Object in this Address is, I trust, more laudable than the Indulgence of Literary Egotism, and more reasonable than the Hope that such Praise as mine can be of Consequence.
