Excerpt from Women Rule

In talk with a friend, the writer of these pages - under the impression that successful pieces for the stage have been in many instances the work of persons of a low order of literary ability - ventured the assertion that he could himself produce a Comedy, and, being instantly challenged to the proof, wrote his drama, and showed it to his friend, by whom it was condemned without ceremony. The fact is well known that acting plays are not written at a heat, as some of the best poetry has been, and much good prose, but are elaborated. The piece thus summarily damned was laid aside, and, at intervals, afterwards taken up and altered, until the writer began to persuade himself it had the stage twist; but, after time and pains bestowed on his MS., he at last took fright, and irrecoverably, at the thought of submitting it to the ordeal of the footlights; bethinking himself, however, of Bob Acres' self-encouraging conclusion, that so much good matter ought not to be all thrown away, he determined to print it.

The inverted commas commonly prefixed to lines meant to be omitted in playing, have not been removed. The scene, though of, in part, American manners, is laid abroad; an incongruity for which there is this excuse: that any of us who will try his hand at making a five-act play turn upon home incidents and characters will probably discover - if he had never found it before - that his country, however great and respectable, is sadly provincial.
