Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Patrick's Eve: Or, the Order of the Day, a Drama in Three Acts It is with more than ordinary pleasure we sketch the life of the above popular actor, who is in public and private equally estimable; for such qualities combined, add a degree of respectability to a profession, too often maligned by its enemies, and degraded by the members of it, from improvidence, and a proneness to associate with those who neither in station nor intellect arc their equals, but who flatter their vanity for the sake of their company. If the followers of Thespis would unite in their endeavours to raise their art in the public's eye, which is ever upon them, by a rectitude of conduct, and a studious avoidence of the many temptations to err incident to their calling, they would render it among the most honoured, as it is one of the most delightful of professions. - Mr. Power was born in the county of Waterford, Ireland, on November 2nd, 1798. His first dramatic essay was at Newport, in the Isle of Wight, 1815, as Alonzo, in Sheridan's play of Pizarro. He was afterwards united to the third daughter of the late John Gilbert, Esq., of that town, by whom he has seven children. From the Newport company he went to Margate, and after figuring there in the Reading parts of tragedy and comedy for a season, joined the Dublin corps, and opened in the opposite characters of Romeo Tind Jeremy Diddler, under the stage management of Mr. W. Farren. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
