THE INFLEXIBLE CAPTIVE: A TRAGEDY. IN FIVE ACTS. THEATRE ROYAL, AT BATH. Drawn from: THE WORKS OF HANNAH MORE. HANNAH MORE. VOL. II. LONDON TO MRS. BOSCAWEN. my dear madam, my dear madam It seems somewhat extraordinary that although with persons of great merit and delicacy no virtue stands in higher estimation than truth, yet, in such an address as the present, there would be some danger of offending them by a strict adherence to it; I mean by uttering truths so generally acknowledged, that every one, except the person addressed, would acquit the writer of flattery. And it will be a singular circumstance to see a Dedication without praise, to a lady possessed of every quality and accomplishment which can justly entitle her to it.
