Review Of New Publications.
cannot readily see the reason . Charlotte is only betrothed at the opening of the play ; nor is there any hint given of her being actually married , through the whole of it : at least , the author certainly represents her as unmarried , during the greatest struggle of her love for Werter ; and Albert , as knowing of the excess of their affection j which renders the conduct of ail three highly unnatural ; for we cannot conceive that love would have driven Werter to such despair , while his mistress was still single ; or that Albert would have
accepted her hand , when he found that passion had so entirely possest them both . Add to this , that the author has given us only half the character of the feeling Werter , who is represented by the German author as'disappointed in ambition no less than in love . If" expressed with the force with which it is conceived in the story , Werter would make one of the finest characters for the stage , that could any where be found . It would be unfair to criticise further this slight performance , the subject of which does not tally so well
with the author ' s abilities , as scenes of a li ght and comic strain . Vortimer ; or the true Patriot : a Tragedy . By Ab . Portal . Svo . is . dd . ICearsley . THIS tragedy is dedicated to the Lord Mayor , Aldermen , and Common Council of the City of London , and is stated to be tlie author ' s virgin tragedy . We think that , altogether , it possesses some merit : the plot is
conducted with address , and the catastrophe well produced . The language is sometimes nervous and poetical , and sometimes weak and prosaic . There is much room for improvement ; and , with some alterations , it mi ght be brought on . the stage and , probably , well received . The Roses ; or , King Henry ihe Sixth . An Historical Tragedy .
