Flagel, my eye catches your's, Sir. 02 OBADIAH FLAGEL, a Schoolmaster of Newcasfle-npoii- Tijne. Gentlemen, the intervals of leisure af- forded me by my school-vacations have partly been devoted to the cultivation of the literee elegant iores. Enthusiastic from my boyhood, in my admiration of the Avonian bard, 1 hailed with inexpressible satisfaction, the projected monument to his glory. But we are here assembled, not to pronounce paneg-yrics on our favourite poet, which have engrossed so many ...pens and tongues, but to receive and consider plans for the monument in question. Our theatrical managers, tired, it would ap- pear, of marshalling horses on the stage, have determined, by the late adoption of glass- curtains, to follow our poet's injunction in good earnest, in holding mirrors, not perhaps so much up to nature as heretofore, but up to us spectators. We have always heard, Gentlemen, that actors on the stage were veiuti in speculo; but it would appear that veiuti may henceforth be • 03 dropped from the drop-scene, since they arc literally now in specido seipso.
