REMARKS

It has been observed, that Rowe seldom moveseither pity or terror, but often elevates the sentiments;he seldom pierces the breast, but alwaysdelights the ear, and often improves the understanding.This excellent tragedy is always actedwith great applause, and will, in one instance atleast, prove the author's power to excite a powerfuleffect: consisting chiefly of domestic scenesand private distress, the play before us is anaffecting appeal to pity, especially in the partingof Alicia and Hastings, the interview betweenJane Shore and Alicia, and in the catastrophe.In the plot, Rowe has nearly followed the historyof this misguided and unhappy fair one, and hasproduced an impressive moral lesson.
