Présentation de l'éditeur
Dear Sir, Disinterested friendship is my motto upon the present occasion ;flattery is out of the question, and talent my only object in view. Dedications, too often, are little else but inflated pieces of adulation of the persons to whom they are addressed. I have no necessity to adopt such a line of conduct, my course is clear; the voice of the public, from one end of the kingdom to the other, has long since decided upon your merits as a performer of unrivalled eminence; therefore, any addition of mine on that head would be out of place, if not superfluous. With more freedom than politeness, sir (ceremony is not my forte), the Life of an A ctor, with all its faults, is presented to your notice.
