Pagina 124 - The necessity for producing these attractive novelties rendered Hamlet and Macbeth, and all the glories of the drama, for the time a dead letter. In proportion as his consequence decreased, the carelessness for performing his duty increased, and every new character Mr. Cooper went on for (to use the stage phrase), was almost invariably marred by an ignorance even of the words of the author.
