Not illustrated. 1867 Excerpt: ...so incontestable, so absolute, that we ought to sacrifice to it the laws of distributive justice, and the principle which forbids our taxing the bread of labour for the benefit of the bread of alms? To be sure, there are some charitable institutions which call for the protection of the State; but the State could not grant its tragedy, he had never become the hero of a comedy! But illluck chose, first that he should set up a theatre; next that he should engage Mrs. Jordan, a distinguished actress; then that this actress, a married woman, should be separated from her husband; then that this husband should belong to the jealous order; and, lastly, that Mr. Boucicault should not have had due misgivings of the danger involved in visiting ladies too often by night.
