FOOTNOTES

[1] It was the same Lady Lucan who was said once to have asked the actress: “Pray, Madam, when you are to prepare yourself in a character, what is your primary object of attention, the superstructure, as it may be called, or the ‘foundation’ of the part?”

[2] Mrs. Piozzi, who, after Mr. Thrale’s death, had married again, much to the disgust of the Johnsonian band.

[3] On the first night of the O. P. riots, we are told the actress wore a costume fashioned after the bridal suit of the unfortunate Queen of Scots, and was a perfect blaze with the jewels in the stomacher of the dress, as well as upon her hair and around her neck.
