Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
