THOMAS HARRIS, ESQ.

SIR,

As it is to your liberal patronage and nice discrimination the subject of the present volume, as well as many others, has owed her first introduction to the London stage, permit me to address to you the following Memoirs, as a just tribute of respect to your character, and which the present Heroine of the Drama I am persuaded will be the first to approve. Next to acting well, the being able to

form a just estimate of merit in others is the most desirable quality attached to the situation of a Manager, and when to this correct judgment you display, is added a liberal and humane disposition towards those placed under your protection, the British Drama cannot fail, under your auspices, to attain its highest perfection.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

LONDON, MARCH, 1816.
