Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of My Life Nationality - Ancestry - An Aunt´s Elopement - My Uncle Proprietor of Harrow Coach - Favourite of the Boys - Slight Connection with Geordie Stephenson - A Herculean Altosoloist - First Introduction to the Theatre - Desire to Appear thereon - The Invisible Orchestra - "Sea" v. "Stage" - "Puritanical Objections" - Macready. In my book, Student and Singer, I gave the place and date of my birth, but I did not give any account of "who I am" and "where I sprang from." As I have often been asked, I think I cannot do better than tell what I have learned about myself. In seeking the information, I had no other motive than to satisfy my curiosity about my name which, when a boy, I disliked very much, and often wished it had been Smith, or any other ordinary appellation. My father told me it was originally Sontley; that an ignorant ancestor had converted it phonetically into Sauntley; the "u" having been subsequently eliminated by another probably equally ignorant; moreover, that a large district with a manor-house, in the vicinity of Wrexham, at one time belonged to the family and bore the family name.
