"Scarcely [any] performer in the piece thought it worth while to charge their memories with words, that they would wish afterwards, if they had, to forget as fast as possible...The imitations were some tolerably true, and a few excellent. $Siddons= and $Storace= were outrageous caricatures. Mrs Wells once came infinitely nearer the former.
