Opis: The British Theatre, Vol. 14 of 25 - Inchbald Mrs.

Excerpt from The British Theatre, Vol. 14 of 25: Or a Collection of Plays, Which Are Acted at the Theatres Royal, Drury Lane, Covent Garden, and Haymarket

This comedy was written by a man of that peculiar frame of body and mind, which enabled him to contend against the sickness of the one, and the sorrows of the other, for the period of near a hundred years.

Macklin was born in Ireland at the very beginning of the last century, and died in England at the close of it. His occupation throughout his long life was that of an actor; though chance, more than inclination, directed his steps towards the stage.

His performance of the jew, in "The Merchant of Venice," was so perfect a representation of malignant human nature; so congenial were the countenance and manners he gave to this black character, which Shakspeare's genius formed, that every other part, in which he appeared, is seemingly forgotten, in the minute remembrance of all he did in Shylock.

That the author of this comedy had a capacious understanding, this production, as well as his skill as an actor, will testify. His "Man of the World" could only be written by one, capable of making the nicest observations on all he saw there. It is an excellent lesson for politicians and courtiers.
