He is con- tinually pandering to the taste of (he courtiers as a body or to the individual opinion of noblemen whose patronage he wished to obtain, and so frequently does he contradict himself, that it is exceedingly difficult to guess what his opinions really were. It seems highly probable, that, had his position in life been such, that he had not been obliged to rely for support upon his pen, he would have been a strenuous advocate of the readmission to the stage of the dramatists belonging t...o the age preceding his, for if we u carcfufty peruse his criticisms of them, we may easily dis- cover, that, whenever he deprecates their language, their style or their plots, he does so with a self-complacent re- flexion upon the refined state of society or the excellence of the drama of his time, upon his own dramatic powers or the elegance of his own language. Thus it is, that, as he failed to bring about the mediation above alluded to, yet would not oppose his opinions to the taste prevailing at the court, he made a compromise with himself, and, well knowing where success was to be found, he sided with the ruling party and advocated the introduction of the French style of tragedy.
