Jeremy Collier (1650-1726), a nonjuring clergyman, in his “‘ Short View of the immorality and profaneness of the English Stage,’’ levied the most serious attack on the Stage in this Country ever made.

But Congreve was completely victorious, the best proof of his success, and of the necessity for his attack, being the marked improvement in decency which it produced. 96 Collier (Jeremy).
