Comedy, Opera, Farce, or Ballet all came alike to her, she succeeded in every part that she assumed. Whether she sang, danced or delivered a sentiment she was equally at home, and afforded the highest Fatisfaction to her audience. She died on September 3rd, 1838, aged sixty-five. Garrick (David). Autograph letter to Mr. Wallas. Returns him ten thousand thanks for the honour done him of bestowing such a jewel on him as the handwriting of Shakspeare.

END GALLERY. While acting in Quebec in 1826 four Huron Chiefs witnessed his performance of Sir Giles Overreach ; he gave each of them a small silver cup as a present. In order to show their gratitude, they begged him to honour them by becoming a member of their tribe.

Cole (the Acting Manager to the Princess's Theatre), saying : " This lock of hair was cut from Edmund Kean's head by me in Edinburgh in the year 18 19.

He made his first appearance in London as Shylock at Drury Lane on the 26th of January, 1814. Hazlitt describes this as " the first gleam of genius breaking athwart the gloom of the stage," and the proprietors of Drury Lane acknowledged that he saved the theatre from bank- ruptcy. Artistically and financially he was a phenomenon, and it makes it doubly sad to remember how dissipation ruined the actor and killed the man. His last appearance on the stage took place on March 25th, 1833, at Covent Garden, on which occasion he appeared with his son, Charles, who played Iago to his father's Othello. He was too ill to finish the performance. He died on the 15th of May, 1833, and was buried at Richmond." 403. Kean (Edmund). A print of " The Deathbed of Kean," by George Cruikshank.

Mr. Kean does not intend to fulfil his engagement, but has tendered them the forfeiture, and demands a restitution of his articles, which they have rejected. Mr. Kean would wish to have the opinion of Counsel whether they have any further claim than the afore -mentioned ,£1,000; or whether the present Lessee can come upon him, Mr. Kean, for greater damages than the special fixed sum in the written agreement." 405. vSiddons (Mrs.).

Macbeth in the time of Garrick used to be clad in a Court suit, but when Kemble first played the character he dressed in the costume of the country. _ He was manager of Drury Lane from 1788 to 1801, under the lesseeship of Sheridan. In 1803, he purchased a share in Covent Garden, which he managed until his retirement in 18 17. It was during his management of Covent Garden that the O.P. (Old Price) Riots took place.

She was a failure, and retired again to the Provinces ; but on her reappearance as Isabella, on October 10th, 1782, she was triumphantly successful. She retired from the stage in 1812 as Lady Macbeth, and after her last scene the audience would not allow the play to proceed to a finish.

"My dear Mr. Sheridan. — When I had the pleasure of seeing you at Sir Joshua's exhibition, you did me the honour to express a strong desire that I should read in public your monody on the death of Garrick. Uttered by one who has long lived in the study of his art, and who must at no great distance of time follow him also to that Eternity whither he has gone, it must, I think, produce a most powerful effect, unless, indeed, those sad paths be so deeply impressed on my feelings as to render the utterance of them quite unintelligible, for it is most certain that I never yet was able to read that lovely poem without weeping most plenteously. Now, pray do think of this, for some little altera- tion at this distance of time you will, of course, think necessary. It is my intention to associate you with bards no less illustrious than Shak- spere and Milton. Pray send (and very soon) a propitious answer to the request of your faithful admirer, S. Siddons. "I hope Mrs. Sheridan's health is perfectly restored; pray present my compliments and best wishes to her." 424. Siddons (Mrs.).

END GALLERY. I03 Copy of Letter : — "Mrs. Siddons' compliments to Sir Joshua Reynolds, and thinks, with all submission to his better judgment, that the picture should be put into the hands of that person (whose name she cannot at this present moment recollect) who has executed the print of the children from a picture of Sir Joshua in so masterly a manner." The engraver thus chosen by the " Tragic Muse " herself was Francis Haward, A.E. This commission involved Sir Joshua Reynolds in a " pretty quarrel ' with Valentine Green, A.E., who had probably been favoured in the first instance by the artist. Green denied the existence of the above letter, and Reynolds, to prove his own innocence in the matter and to clear his character, forwarded this very letter to the angry engraver, Avho was thus disappointed of the commission. Val. Green would have done full justice to the painting. The story is given at length in the ''Life of Sir J. Reynolds," by Leslie and Taylor. 425. William Henry West Betty (Master) as Hamlet.

He then joined a company of players managed by a Mr. Penley, and travelled abroad with them, playing at Ostend, Antwerp, Brussels, and other Con- tinental towns.
