Book Description
Mentions meeting the nephew of the author of The actor, an anonymously published account of Junius Brutus Booth. He identifies the author as "Vail -- I forget his first name. He was rather eccentric, I fancy (I met him but once - some years ago) for when I referred to this book he seemed annoyed and abruptly changed the subject and left me." In a postscript, sends regards on behalf of Lawrence Barrett.
