and with face worn with care or study, or
both; long flowing beard and mustaches, ard
dressed exactly like Shylock or Tubal are in the
play of the Merchant of Venice = that is, with

hanging sleeves. When this dress was thrown

English. He is a good actor. Sometimes has
gestures were very graceful, especially when he
bowed his thanks TO the lord mayor, and crossed
his hands on his breast, martyr fashion. Kos.
.uth's imperfect English lent a charm to his
speaking. which, however, was not, OF course, so
effective as that Of many of our own orators

from which he read continually. Some passages
were, however, highly effective, especially hi'

power to beipl-helpr which he repeated SIX OF

rendered it impossible for the auditors to hea
the last word. SO the effect was lost. How
ever, as n speaker. he is unquestionaby hrst
