Excerpt from Specimens of the British Poets, Vol. 7 of 7: With Biographical and Critical Notices, and an Essay on English Poetry For the display of his own powers of representing sudden and strong effects of passion. This remark of Mason accords with Johnson's complaint of Gar rick's projected innovations in his own tragedy; that fellow, he said, wants me to make Ma hornet mad, that he may have an Opportunity of. Tossing his hands, and kicking his heels. For the faults of the piece, however, it is but circuitous and conjectural justice to make Garrick responsible and, among those faults, the mode of the heroine's death is not the slightest. After Corneille's heroine has been stabbed by her brother, she' appears no more upon the stage. The piece, to be sure, drags heavily after this event; for, in fact, its interest is concluded. Whitehead endeavours to conquer this difficulty, by keeping her alive, after she has been wounded, in order to have a conference with her father, which she terminates by tearing the bandages off her wounds, and then expires. But the effect of her death by this process, is more disagreeable than. Even the tedium of Corneille's fifth act. It inspires us with a sore physical shuddering, instead of tragic commiseration.
