Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Twelve Great Actresses
There may be a place, therefore, for the struggles, the trials, and the successes, of these twelve great actors, whose la bours dignified either Tragedy or Comedy. They were all philanthropists: while they fretted their hour upon the boards they gave royal pleasure to the public, and carried it into an enchanted region, where the hum drum of every-day existence was forgotten.
