FOOTNOTES:

[126] Macklin was the original Buck; but when Foote produced the farce, during his own engagement, he played the part himself.

[127] During the period here referred to, Foote played the part.

[128] He certainly played during this summer, but probably only for a short period.

[129] This is very inaccurate. "The Cozeners" was produced in 1774, and Dodd was not hanged till 1777.

[130] Jackson who, as "Curtius," threatened Garrick.—Doran MS.

[131] Edwin made his first appearance in London in 1776, as Flaw, in "The Cozeners."
