ttet;:,---" These volumes (says the Examiner), are ex-
' aoll amusing. We should not hesitate indeed to pro-
el4tnee' thi. biography of Mathews decidedly the plea-
bee eat Piece of dramatic anecdote and chit-chat that has
to t4h.Published in our time. Two causes have contributed
the first the high and estimable character of the
Ilislaet` of the biog-raphy, no less in his early days than in
alivi—e"; and the second the fortunate circumstance of his
verng left behind him, in the shape of materiel, not only
!eta, Ybobarming auto-biography, but a vast quantity of let-
-11, rae-„:gi,noing as early as his very outset in life, and em-
'4n 1-5 the mention of almost every incident in it. To this
the good chance, in especial, we have to attribute much of
14,tePeeuliar interest and value of the work. In these vo-
foe,. awe follow every step of the great Comedian's pro-
Po between the grades of twelve shillings and twenty
Pa a week, and catch from his own lips almost every
toer „ 'l4d fear that assailed him up to the day when all were
Aheilitoe absorbed in his triumph at the little Theatre in
tatieoYolarket.' The reader may judge from this how
teatioll 4° will find in the book well worthy his best at-
