HARBY, ISAAC
Isaac Harby, born in Charleston, S. C., November 9, 1788, died in New York City, November 14, 1828. First studied law under Langdon Cheves, but soon gave this up to become the principal of a school on Edisto Island. His first literary work was the editing of a weekly paper called The Quiver. This paper had but a short existence, and he purchased The Investigator, which he changed to The Southern Patriot. In 1822 he conducted The City Gazette and wrote for The Charleston Mercury.
The second representation of Alberti, in Charleston, 1819, was honored by the presence of President Monroe. Alberti was written for Cooper, but he never appeared in the character. Harby is said to have been the finest dramatic critic of his time in America. He came to New York in 1828.
