Edmund Kean as Richard.

It Is impossible to form higher con-
ception Of Richard III. than that given
by Kean. Never was character repre-
scented by greater distinctness and pre-
cision and perfectly articulated in ev-
cry part. IF Kean did not succeed in
concentrating all the lines OF the char
acter he gave vigor and relief to the
part which we have never seen sur
passed. He was more refined than
Cooke bolder and more original than
Kemble. The scene with Lady Anne
was an admirable specimen Of bold
and smiling duplicity. Willy adulation
was firmly marked by his eye, and he
appeared like the first tempter in the
garden. Kean's attitude in leaning
against the pillar was one of the most
graceful and striking positions ever
witnessed 1t would serve as model
for Titan. Raphael or Salvador Rosa.
Tone was quality which Kean pos.
sessed over every other actor that ever
appeared. Many have attempted his
style. and all have most egregiously
failed.-William Hazlitt.

woman.
