Sketch of n Great English Plasiarist-The
Dramatic Success of ColIey Cibber,

Colley Cibber spite of his occupancy of
niche in Pope's Dunciad, was one of the
most popular play-writers of his day. His
rank as a poet, however, was not of the
highest, whatever argument may be fur
nished by his twenty-seven years incum-
bency of the Laureatship, with its salary of
f200 a year and pipe Of Canary. He be-
came dramatic writer, at first to gain the
means of supporting himself, and after
having essayed TO strut as an actor upon the
stage, with very discouraging results.
His first play, LoVe's Last Shift; or, The
Fool in Fashion, met with great success, per-
forming the part of "Sir Novelty Fashion"
himself. Cbber was warmly applanded both
as author and actor. Critics agree that The
Careless Husband is our authors best pro-
duction as literary performance. His Nom
juror, however, is said to have brought him
a larger share Of fame and profit than any of
his other dramatic compositions.
In 1870, Cibber retired upon his pension as
Laureate; seldom thereafter appearing upon
the stage, except when his presence was
necessary to strengthen the cast of some par
ticular play. On these occasions he received
| fifty guineas per night, a sufficiently liberal
| remuneration to prove that he was still a
faYorite with the habitues OF the playhouse.
In TAG he published his Apology for his Life,
| by which he gained, it is said, fl, 500. To
! Cibber, the good-natured man par excellence,
| life's declivity was of gradual and easy
| descent. His days were heightened out,
| amid surroundings of ease and comfort, to
| the year 1867, when one morning in Decem-
| ber, at his lodgings in Islington, after having
| cheerfully spoken to servant three hours
before, at nine o'clock he was found corpse
having probably expired in his sleep.
