DR. JOHNSON, G. STEVENS, Esq.

AND THE

VARIOUS COMMENTARIES.

ADVERTISEMENT.

THE favourable reception which attend

ed the Travesty on Hamlet, by JOHN POOLE, Esq. has, it must be candidly acknowledged, given rise to the present undertaking; for, though it is asserted by that author, that "there is no Tragedy in the English language better adapted to the purposes of a Travesty than Hamlet," it will be found that the play of Macbeth admits of more burlesque situations.

No apology, therefore, can be deemed necessary for offering the public this attempt---particularly as the Author of it is not the first who has made free with our immortal Bard; and more

especially as Macbeth, though abounding in more fancy than any other play by Shakespeare, is not for force of sentiments, beauty of imagery, and solemnity of conduct, equal to the Prince of Denmark.
