FOOTE'S WOODEN LEG—George Colman, the
younger, observes :—" There is no Shakspeare or Ros-
cius upon record, who, like Foote, supported a theatre,
for a series of years, on his own acting, on his own writings,
and for ten years of the time, upon a wooden leg ! This
prop to his person I ore saw stancirig by his bedside, ready
dressed in a handsome silk stocking, with a polished
shoe and gold buckle, awaiting the owner's getting up ;
it had a kind of tragi-comical appearance, and 1 leave
to inveterate wags the ingenuity of punning upon a
Foote in bed and a leg out of it. The proxy for a limb
thus desorated, though ludricrous, is too strong a remind-
er of amputation to be very laughable. His undressed
supporter was the common
injurious Wooden
leg, like a mere
stick, which was not a little to a well-kept
pleasure ground. I remember following him, after a
shower of rain, upon a nicely rolled terrace, in which he
stumped a deep round hole at every other step he took,
till it appeared as if the gardener had been there with his
dibble, preparing, against all norticultural practicc,_ to
plant a long row of cabbages in a gravel-walk."
