The new Pedestrian, Equestrian, and Operatic Extravaganza: in Three Acts--of Gaiety, Frisk, Lark, and Patter, called
_Put into Shape, exclusively for this Theatre, by_ PIERCE EGAN.
Who trusts it will not be deemed unfair that he should take a LEAF or TWO _out of his own_ BOOK, several other persons having made free with the Work. The Piece now prepared for representation is not entitled to the appellation of TRAGEDY, COMEDY, _Opera_, PLAY, _Farce_, BALLET, or _Melodrama_, yet partaking of the Qualities _of all_, and possessing scenes HIGH and LOW in abundance, from the “_Sky Parlour_” to the “_Diamond Vault_.” OUT _and_ OUT, Rambles and Sprees, East and West, and Lots of Characters, UP and DOWN. A variety of _Swells_ but no DONS: CORINTHIANS and COSTARD-MONGERS of many _Hues and Colours_: FLATS and SHARPS without a _Note_--PINKS _and_ TULIPS, but no FLOWERS, yet always in the _Hot Houses_: and HELLS _without_ DEVILS, only having _Black Legs_: MUSLIN _and_ HOPSACKS, according as the _creatures_ wear them: the whole forming a “BIT OF GOOD TRUTH,” _en passant_, in a Review of LIFE IN LONDON, developed by a precious TRIO, in the Persons of a TOP-of-THE-TREE-HERO _Up_ and _Dressed_ in all _suits_: seconded by a _slap-bang_ countryman, that neither _hedge_ nor _ditch_ baulk his pursuits; and in unison with a _prime_ piece of LOGIC without PREMISES, yet always so much at HOME, that LOCKE and BACON were muffs to him: also representing the NOBLE, RESPECTABLE, MECHANICAL, and _Tag Rag_ and _Bob-tail part of Society_, which constitute the CORINTHIAN CAPITAL, and the _Base_ of the Pillar.
