So arbitrary is taste in these matters that Mr. Collins, like Mr. Grant White, but independently, finds Shakespeare putting a thought from the Alcibiades I of Plato into the mouth of Achilles in Troilus and Cressida, while Mr. J.

Garrick was first distinguished. The famous history of the Life of King Henry VIII. Troilus and Cressida, a Tragedy; the plot from Chaucer. Coriolanus, a Tragedy; the story from the Roman History. Titus Andronicus, a Tragedy. Romeo and Juliet, a Tragedy; the plot from Bandello's Novels.

"You have made a new man of me," Maurice Wynne had said to Mrs.
