order was water in the chest.—As an Actor, if not in
the first line of excellence, he was always judicious.,
and n►auifested strong feeling, as well as critical
knowledge of his author. lie *possessed literary
talents which have often contributed to public grafi-
fiCation in novelty, playa, and poetical effusiens.—
When our great actress, Mrs.:Strboxs, first bunt
forth on the London stage with a blaze of excellence
that' probably never will be equalled by any other
actress, the Gentlfmuns whom we now mention per.!'
!formed the part of her child in the Tragedy of Isabella.
lie was some years at the Charter House, and was
intended for the Church; but a strong hereditary
attachment inducetd.bim to devote himself to the stage.
He was the the Patents and Manager of the Edin•
burgh stage. He pestseased 'a
-character in private life
of the most amiable nature, and• Was held in high and
merited' estasita by all-connected with him, in business
