Excerpt from Representative Actors: A Collection of Criticisms, Anecdotes, Personal Descriptions, Etc;, Etc;, Referring to Many Celebrated British Actors From the Sixteenth to the Present Century; With Notes, Memoirs, and a Short Account of English Acting IN that voluminous history of the stage published by Dibdin in the year 1800, the author, in dealing with the English Drama, descends to so remote a period as the Saxon Hep tatchy, and devotes a chapter to Conjectures concerning the Dramatic Art in Britain before the Norman Conquest. So extensive an inquiry might indeed be found necessary in a work treating of the stage from the days of the Flood but it will be thought enough if this brief review commences with the age that witnessed the production of the first piece possessing the requisites of a stage-play. Such a piece would mark a varia tion in the 'hitherto invariable mode of entertaining the public by those quaint dialogues called Interludes, and those curious exhibitions called Moralities and Mysteries, of which the indecency and profanity are hardly qualified by the obvious artlessness of the authors.
