The Old Maid and the Preachers Foolish Denunciations
A reader denounces a fiery sermon and its preacher for professed zeal that mocks sobriety and morality. The critique cites the Critical Review and compares clerical theatrics to St Paul and Raphael cartoons, calling the frenzy a dangerous frenzy of fanaticism. The piece ends noting a planned comparison with Rome's seasonable follies.
