The American review : a Whig journal of politics, literature, art, and science . not extremegratification in the Operatic Drama ; tosay nothing of scenery carried to the pitchof a perfect delusion, and of a gracefuldepicting of the passions by gesture andattitudes.

Assemblages of this kind have thecredit of promoting a humane and socialspirit, if they do nothing better; thechurch is too sacred a place for the ex-change of courtesies, or the display ofgraces, the lecture-room tasks the under-standing, and the theatre rouses if it doesnot often allay and purify the sympathies;but for a harmless, sparkling, folly, com-mend us to the Opera.
