th-or,n'tn's figure and features arc good, and his voice,
',Rh occasionally we could discover a slight degree of

f",ession bespoke a man well accustomed to the business
1e scene. So often has the part of Shylock been per-

de,,cl Offending. Mr. Ternan, however, deserves a great
7'l more than such negative praise. He appears to have
euetlded the character accurately ; and in his two principal

e:4llls of his performance, however, bordered too much on
kr°quial tameness. His reception was highly flattering.
