Notes: "The Comedy of Fashion was intended as a good-natured satire upon some of the follies incident to a new country, where foreign dross sometimes passes for gold, while native gold is cast aside as dross; where the vanities rather than the virtues of other lands are too often imitated, and where the stamp of fashion gives currency even to the coinage of vice. The reception with which the comedy was favoured proves that the picture represented was not a highly exaggerated one. It was first produced at the Park Theatre, New York, in March, 1845"--Preface.
