FAREWELL ADDRESS.

" !ADM AND GINTLIEMIEN—The longest journey Meat
have an end, and the pleaaanter onr progress on the road,
the more painful is the parting with our fellow-travellers
Semis is my feelings at this moment, when, after travelling
40 nights to and trout Paris iii your company, the hour is
at kugth arrived when I must reluctantly bid you farewell.
" If I may be allowed to judge of she cordial mike
with which my labours have been cheered throughout, I
may venture to hope that you participate in this feeling;
and I shall therefore whet myself, in separation from my
indulgent friends, with the pleasing task of preparing to re-
ceive them Al How again neat Season, with new mattes
fur their estermiument.

"To Ibis end I shall study new characters, and aim at
new persouations; not with an unworthy view to outrage
private feelings, by holding up personal defects to ridicule,
but with the more useful, aud at the same time less of.
(easier, object of skewing how easily peculiarities became
disagreeable if suffered to grow into habits ; and how
fre-
quently habits, if so indulged in, may become ridiculous.
" Such, with all humility, I consider to be the fair game of
what is attempted to he degraded by the name of mimicry.
It is that iu Ibephysiral world which Satire is in Slit mural ;
mud if the work of a Satirist of manstere be not degraded
by the appellation of a Lampoon, I know not shy the ex-
hibition of an /agitator of Manner should be classed with
t►e mere grimaces of a Buffoou.
" I have thought it necessary to say thus much in defence
of that which I consider as the very soul of the profession of
an setur—fasitatiom : for no one, I presume, will deny, that
Sleakspeare would have written in vain (so far as applies to
Stage representation), had actors attempted to play Othello
with a fair fate, or Richard the Third without a hump.
" Thus it appears there ore cases in which corn personal
deformities and defects may become proper subjects of sa-
tire. Such as the decrepitude of age alfectiug the follies
and gay frivolities of youth; the rich, and antiquated, one.
eyed lover, ogling the young aud beautiful victim of an
odious mission; or a youthful coxcomb, with bandy legs,
obtruding his pitiable deform/lyrist your notice hy exhibiting
his otherwise pretty person in a quadrille. Such, in endless
variety. are the fair mud allowed objects of imitative sa-
tire ; still, I may perhaps be acquitted from any charge of
vanity, when I assert, that, even in such cases, a more than
ordinary accuracy of observation is necessary to bit off sac•
cessfally those nice diatinctiows of character and meaner
which form the wide differeace between a correct portrait
and a vulgar caricature; and if I have succeeded, ur can suc-
ceed (by balding Stir • or up to nature, and sheisitig Fully
