nor Gwynn and Mrs. Sanderson to the time of Helen Faucit and Mrs. Lander. Each successive generatioin the brighter days of the British drama. Helen Faucit comes of a theatrical family. Her father ashest beauties of eighteen or twenty-five. Helen Faucit's first appearance in London was made on thr heard of now. On the 18th of April, 1837, Helen Faucit made a hit as Portia. Mr. Macready took theis term of management,--early in 1838,--and Helen Faucit was the original Pauline, to the Claude Melstration of Drury Lane, and in most of them Helen Faucit had to study — and, as the stage-phrase is,scard his mannerisms in their own playing. Helen Faucit's native merits, however, are such as far owakeful conscientiousness of a real artist, Helen Faucit is continually striving after a higher compe other than herself; for no actress, since Helen Faucit made the character so essentially her own, has any one ever approached him in it.

d. have given us a beautiful and most agreeable dinner: Dickens, Mrs. Norton, Moore, Landseer, and one or two others. Rogers says: I have three pleasures in the day: the first is, when I get up in the morning, and scratch myself with my hair mittens; the second is when I dress for dinner, and scratch myself with my hair mittens; the third is when I undress at night, and scratch myself with my hair mittens. . .. Beside this feast of hospitality, there was the theatre, with Macready and Helen Faucit in the Lady of Lyons, and the opera, with Grisi and Mario, Alboni and Persiani. Julia, who had been forbidden the theatre since her seventh year, enjoyed to the full both music and drama, but the crowning ecstasy of all she found in the ballet, of which Fanny Elssler and Cerito were the stars. The former was beginning to wane; the dancing which to Emerson and Margaret Fuller seemed poetry and religion had lost, perhaps, something of its magic; the latter was still in her early bloom and

don season were frequent offers of a box at Covent Garden or Her Majesty's. These were never declined. Of especial interest to me was a performance of Macready as Claude Melnotte in Bulwer's Lady of Lyons. The part of Pauline was played by Helen Faucit. Both of these artists were then at their best. Thomas Appleton, of Boston, and William Wadsworth, of Geneseo, were with us in our box. The pathetic moments of the play moved me to tears, which I tried to hide. I soon saw that all my companions were affected in the same way, and were making the same effort. I saw Miss Faucit again at an entertainment given in aid of the fund for a monument to Mrs. Siddons. She recited an ode written for the occasion, of which I still recall the closing line:— And measure what we owe by what she gave. I saw Grisi in the great role of Semiramide, and with her Brambilla, a famous contralto, and Fornasari, a basso whom I had longed to hear in the operas given in New York. I also saw Mlle.
