“ Heard a Symphony that did well please me, seaming to lift me into the Clouds, and was mighty mystical and pretty; and the Musique in the Midsummer Night's Dream did give me much Delight, the Twittering throughout the Overture putting me in Mind of Singing-Birds and Fairies and I know not what, and the sleepy Passages very sweet and lulling. ”

“ All the Company rising and taking off their Hats was a noble Sight, and grand, the While, to hear that majestical Anthem, till presently some most ridiculous and impertinent Variations set all the House a laughing and some hissing, and I do suspect Monsieur Jullien had a special Audience this Night, that would not away with such Tricks. Between the Parts of the Concert, I into the Pit to walk about among the Sparks, and there a great Press, and the House crammed to the Ceiling. ”
