Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Charles Mathews, Vol. 1: Comedian My determination to write my Life. - Birth, parentage, and education; life, character, and behaviour. - My retentive memory. - My birth-place. - My Grandfather and Father. - Family Disputes. - Fanatic Visiters. - My face and figure when a child. - Hannah More and Garrick. - My school-days. - The school-master and usher. - My precocious attempts at mimicry. - A perambulating fishmonger. - My imitation of his queer cry, and his revenge. "He who pleads his own cause has a fool for his client," say the lawyers. I am afraid the writer of his own life is liable to the same imputation. I should have begun to write mine years ago, if I had had the courage. "On their own merits modest men are dumb," - on their demerits they are not likely to dwell.
