evidence Of the ability Of the player spirit Of the
tragedy merses almost entirely ia this particular charac.
ter 50 is the general result dependent upon the manner
OF It's performance and 10 10 justice Is no crsy mat
ter. It needs e powers O. Yer si.y to do So, for
there are CIV Characters in tragedy which demand more
sublime expression ofthe passions than that OF
Nrsnius. To portray with effect the feelings OF an alice
Tomato parent under of formidable in
sue for the cnslavcment aad pollution of tender and
""e'i'aN' @ts'4NN i mater OF no ordinary difficulty
Ii needs profound indication OF paterual love in the
first place to give ctc. expression of wild indip

Of her mother, which occurred a. a period when
she was insensi ie Of tho aGicton gave a character
OF earucsiness aud feeling to every passion DISPLAYED
in the after part
On the whole, We regard Mr. Taylor as a PLAYER
Of no ordinary ability. Indeed his success in this
Character may well b, esteemed an Indication Of hi,
capacity, for it needed considerable versatility 10
give effect to the different characteristics embraced in the
part which he acted well aud crodaby Love fea-

into the competition and each needed all the force of e1
preston aud gesture to render it adequate to tho hish
character 70! the play.
