Excerpt from Recollections of a Player These reminiscences, and although wishful to heed the request of his children, - that he would make for them, as a precious leg acy, some account of his life, - it was not till strongly urged by the present writer that he consented to undertake this task. Such persuasion was warranted, for no actor was ever more genuine than Mr. Stoddart, and no professional life was ever more exemplary than his of the ad mirable virtues of perseverance, self-de nial, sincerity, fidelity, purity, and truth. The counsel upon which the veteran finally acted was that he should write freely, as if in a letter to an old friend, whatever of the past he might happen to remember; and in so writing he has made old days to live again, and voices to Speak once more that have long been silent, and faces to smile upon us that have long been cold.
