Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nine Years of an Actor's Life
There are circumstances, in my Early Days, which led perhaps to the Nine Years of an Actor's Life, and I therefore trust I shall be excused, and endured, if I introduce them as a Prologue to the right merry Comedy of my thespian career; for this advantage may be derived from the detail - it will show how, from a school recitation, I was led on, step by step, until at last I became a (mama man and I hope the aspiring young hero will be warned by my experience, to hold fast by whatever occupation he may be engaged in, rather than venture on a theatrical life, in which honesty is a starving quality, and virtue a thing of no repute.
