Memoir of Thomas Betterton the Great English Actor

A condensed reminiscence of Thomas Betterton born 1633 in Westminster son of a royal kitchen employee, who joined Rhodes's bookseller troupe, rose after Restoration to lead The King's Company, toured Paris, married Mrs. Sanderson, and became the era's premier actor with royal favor. It notes his misfortune at sea, his subsequent management at Lincoln's Inn Fields, and late-life benefits by the public including a 1799 benefit performance at nearly seventy.
