Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of John Philip Kemble, Including a History of the Stage From the Time of Garrick to the Present Period, Vol. 1 of 2 Such were the qualities which, to all sound dramatic taste, pointed out Mr. Kemble as the consummate director of our most liberal amusement. But it is not for me to pursue this theme, on which the Highest Judgment has long since pronounced. In the admired exercise of his abilities as a manager and an actor, Mr. Kemble became involved in a calamity, which threatened him with irretrievable ruin; - I mean the destruction by Fire of Covent Garden Theatre. He had reached at this time a period of his life, which could not flatter him with hopes of any very lengthened continuance of his exertions. But at this moment of severe affliction, the Royal Mind condescended to administer that Princely Consolation, which was dear indeed to a spirit such as his; and the accompanying mark of the Royal Munificence became doubly precious to him, from the Gracious Language, by which its acceptance was rendered, not merely a duty, but a Pride.
