_Having spoken of Mr._ Powell,

as sometimes raising himself Applause from the ill Taste of an Audience;

I must do him the Justice to own,

that he is excellently formed for a Tragoedian,

and, when he pleases, deserves the Admiration of the best Judges;

as I doubt not but he will in the Conquest of Mexico,

_which is acted for his own Benefit To-morrow Night_.
