[[Turin]]

about Christmas & during the
Carnival, & a very elegant Theatre
~~not~~ we found no great Company to
night, probably owing to most People of
Distinction being at the Ball given
by the French Ambassador - This being
St. Louis's Day -

The Comedy was a kind of Representa -
- tion of that most excellent english Comedy
by [[John Hume]], entitled the Coffee House -
It was sadly acted, w'ch [which] appeared the more
irksome to me, as it was one of the finest
& best acted plays I ever saw represented
on the french Stage at [[Paris]]; to w'ch [which] this
was a shocking Contrast; yet doubtless
on Acct. [Account] of the Sentiment was much
applauded - & at the Close was a
formal Address to the Audience, but
particularly to the english, with an
apology, for the imperfect Representation;
& to bespeak their candid Acceptance
of the attempt
