and so familiar is tho public with this
most touching and poetic OF modern
tragedies, that discussion OF il now were
supcrfluous. 1t is sufficient Tor the

ter OF the well beloved centurion and to
acknowledge the nobility, the high
purpose, the finished execution and the
mastery power Of his personation. His

abound i'll The carly stages OF tho play
