Excerpt from Memoirs of Charles Macklin, Comedian: With the Dramatic Characters, Manners, Anecdotes &C. Of the Age in Which He Lived; Forming an History of the Stage During Almost the Whole of the Last Century

The Anecdotes, 8tc. Here offered to the public, are the gleanings of many years intimacy with the subject of these Memoirs, whose best conver sation was in this line; yet even drawing from this source, (particularly in the latter part of his life, when his memory gave way, ) much caution and companson were necessary, in order to ascertain the authenticity of the facts. These have been as much attended to as was in the Editor's power; and as such, he trusts, will not be found unen tertaining to the general observers on life and manners.
