A Comedy

IN FIVE ACTS,

'Tis a very good world we live in,

To lend, or to spend, or to give in ;
But to beg, or to borrow, or get a man's own,
'Tis the very worst world that ever was known.-Old Truism.

Und, es herrscht der Erde Gott, das Geld.-SCHILLER.

Dedicated to
JOHN FORSTER, ESQ.

AUTHOR OF

THE LIVES OF ETATESMEN OF THE COMMONWEALTH.

A SLIGHT MEMORIAL

OF SINCERE RESPECT AND CORDIAL FRIENDSHIP ;

ALTHOUGH

(FOR WE ARE ALL HUMAN !)

HE HAS IN ONE INSTANCE,

AND BUT ONE,

SUFFERED HIS JUDGMENT

TO BE MISLED

BY TOO GREAT A REGARD

FOR

“MONEY!”

London, Nov. 1840.
