[Footnote 1: 'Macbeth', act v. sc. 5.] [Footnote 2: Sheridan's 'Monody on Garrick'.] [Footnote 3: The Committee of Selection consisted, says the 'Satirist' (November 1, 1812, p. 395), "of one peer and two commoners, one poet and two prosers, one Lord and two Brewers; and the only points in which they coincided were in being all three parliament men, all three politicians, all three in opposition to the Government of the country. Their names, as we understand, were Vassal Holland, Samuel Whitbread, and Harvey Christian Combe."] * * * * * |
