his vices. With all his faults and errors upon
his head, Kcan was an injured man a man
more sinncd against than snning;' and perse-
cu,ions, have beyond the shadow of a doubt,
accelerated his downfall. lie that was once
the glory of the British Stage, and the adm-
ration of the world, is now almost PROSTATE
with the dust; his health destroyed, his repu-
tation shpwrecked, his fortune runed;'- and
this has all been produced by one false step.
Yet whilst we detest the vices of the man, we
hate his prosecutors; and reverence for his
unequalled talents, should induce US to throw
the mantlcs of charity and forgetiulness, over
the foibles of EDMUND KEAN.
