Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biography of Master Burke, the Irish Roscius: The Wonder of the World, and the Paragon of Actors Joseph Burke is descended from one of the most respectable families in the county of Galway, in Ireland; his father being nephew to Sir John Blake, and consequently first cousin to Valentine Blake, Esq. who represented the above county for some years. Mr. Burke is also, as we are informed, first or second cousin to Sir John Burke, whose family once possessed considerable estates in the county of Galway; but by adhering to the cause of Charles, they suffered in common with those, who having pledged the oath of allegiance to that monarch, refused to abandon his fortunes. The descendants, therefore, of the families who had been plundered of their possessions by Cromwell, were obliged to trust to their talents for the means of subsistance, which they employed, of course, in various ways.
