Excerpt from Crotchets and Quavers: Or Revelations of an Opera Manager in America Let me seize on this opportunity of assuring him that he was completely mistaken. It is with some thing like pride and satisfaction, that I acknowledge his having struck the nail completely upon the head. In fact, I conscientiously accept the denomination of the Don Quixote of the Opera, in preference to the name of its Napoleon, which has been bestowed upon many before, and will most assuredly be applied to so many after me. Don Quixote, my good friend, if you will allow me so to call you, was in every respect a straight forward, most gallant, persevering and energetic knight, who was willing to shed the last drop of his blood in the cause of honor, truth, and his lady-love, the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso. Indeed, the noble Don committed only one small mistake. Nor do I pretend to say, but that this error may be very fairly attributed to his maternal relative. He was born too late.
