Excerpt from Our Recent Actors: Being Recollections, Critical, and in Many Cases, Personal, of Late Distinguished Performers, of Both Sexes; With Some Incidental Notices of Living Actors The Recollections, whether critical or per sonal, have chiefly reference to past actors. Some times, however, living performers have been commented on either when comparison between themselves and their predecessors seemed desir able, or when they have so long retired from the stage that their career is become part of its history, or where they have been particularly associated with some remarkable event - such, for instance, as Phelps's management of Sadler's Wells. Many names of contemporary actors are, however, omitted, which would have high claims to notice had the writer's main Object been to treat of the existing Stage.
