MoreJuly 28, 1S98. Lv writing this memoir of Edwin Booth I have largely expanded my sketch of him that ivas published in 1872, in association vnth portraits by William J. I lennessy, under the title of Edwin Booth in Twelve Dramatic Characters. That sketch, brief, meagre, and now superseded, has long been out of print. I have also drawn upon scattered essays of mine, in the Neio York Tribune since 1865, and in other publications. This biography rests upon intimate personal knoidedge of the subject, and upon information furnished to me by Booth himself. He was aware that I intended to write his Life, and he expressed approval of that intention :for he knew that I honoured and loved him.; that I had followed his career vnth sympathy and studious attention, ever since his return from California, in 1856 ;and that I was acquainted with it, and vnth his views and feelings respecting it.
