That this has 'never yet been done' with respect to the manuscript of the School for-Selaidal, is a mystery which cannot easily be explained on the assumption (but it really was the legitimate offspring of his muse whose name it beats. The ground is very teiuler, but the interests c.t truth are too sacre`thand•important to be sacriAceil to delicacy. The silence 'ot' Mr. Sheridan, on a subject that so nearly tiffeeted his credit its A dramatist, cannot be justified either on the plea of ignorance or of CollScidils dignity. H e would nOt botitacquainted with what macs very cm.; manly reported 'soon atter the appearance' of .the' play, for he has somebrosd allosions to the subject in the celebrated farae which he avowedly brought out for the purpose of making his detractors ridi"- culous. :Bet contempt is ito answer, and ridicule is no test of truth.
