Excerpt from The Diaries of William Charles Macready
On his return to England, after a short and somewhat featureless interval at Drury Lane (where he came into contact with another indi vidual also destined to become a formidable enemy, Alfred Bunn), Macready paid a visit to Paris, the éclat Of which went far to com pensate him for the uneventfulness of his recent appearances in London. The Parisian Press, in fact, acclaimed him with an almost universal chorus of praise, the culminating honour being paid by Jules Janin, who went so far as to pronounce him the equal of Talma.
