Présentation de l'éditeur
Edwin Forrest will be an instructive study to the men and women of his profession, and perhaps may prove pleasing to the reader for whom the details of the actors life have interest. This record should be written while there are those living who can remember him at his first appearance, as well as at the close of his remarkable life, that errors of date may be corrected, and a fair and approved estimate of him may be given to posterity. While it will not be necessary to exalt him as perfection, it will be impossible to deny that he had great and good impulses, and an aptitude for his calling beyond that of any other actor of his time. He was, moreover, essentially an American actor, the first great one, and his career has new and particular interest on that account. Choosing his profession in early boyhood, Forrest achieved a great fame at an age when others were in the alphabet of their life-work.
