Excerpt from The British Theatre, Vol. 18 of 25: Or a Collection of Plays, Which Are Acted at the Theatres Royal, Drury Lane, Covent Garden, and Haymarket
This comedy made its appearance at Covent Gar den theatre, in 1769, and pleased the town so well, that it merely sunk into neglect, when the author, two seasons after, banished his Own, and all other come dies, of that period, from the stage, by the splendid success of his West Indian.
With all the merit which The Brothers possesses, and which is of no small account, it is instructive to Observe, with how much judgment Mr. Cumberland corrected in his second play, all those faults he had committed in the first.
