Excerpt from Julian a Tragedy, in Five Acts
The Story and Characters of the following Tragedy, are altogether fictitious. Annabel's cautions to silence in the first scene, and the short dialogue between her and Julian, after he awakens, will be recognised by the classical reader as borrowed from the fine opening of the Orestes of Euripides; the incident of uncovering the body in the last Act, is also taken from the Electra of Sophocles. Of any other intentional imitation, the Author is unconscious.
She has now the pleasant task of conveying her acknowledgments to the whole of the Performers, for the zealous co-operation which has so much contributed to the success of the Play. To the talents of Miss Foots, Miss Lacy, Mr. Abbott, and Mr. Bennett, she is more especially indebted - and to Mr. Macready beyond all.
