FINN, HENRY JAMES HENRY JAMES FINN, born in Cape Breton in 1785, died on the steamer _Lexington_ off Eaton's Neck, Long Island Sound, January 13, 1840, was the son of an officer in the English Navy, who retired from that service, and settled with his family in New York when Finn was a mere child. His early education was received at the Academy at Hackensack, and he was for a time a student at Princeton. While a copying clerk in the office of Mr. Thomas Phoenix, in New York City, he found means to become a supernumerary in the Park Theatre, and, having a taste for drawing, took much interest in scene painting. On the death of his father he was taken to England by his mother, and there was subjected to such privation that he gladly took a place in a company of country players. He was finally engaged at the Haymarket, London, where he first appeared, May 15, 1811, as Lopez in _The Honeymoon_, and for two seasons was an important member of the company. In 1818 he went to Savannah, where he played successfully for a year, and in 1820 became associated with J. K. Tefft as editor and publisher of _The Georgian_, a daily newspaper. In 1821 he went again to England, and, besides playing with success, made material reputation and profit as a miniature painter. He returned to America, and made a brilliant success as _Richard III._ at the Federal Street Theatre, Boston, October 28, 1822. From that time to his tragic death on the loss of the _Lexington_ by fire, he was a very popular actor of tragedy and light comedy. MONTGOMERY; OR, THE FALLS OF MONTMORENCY.

FORREST, COLONEL THOMAS (See BARTON, ANDREW) DISENCHANTMENT (DISAPPOINTMENT); OR, THE FORCE OF CREDULITY. A New American Comic Opera of Three Acts, by Andrew Barton, Esquire. New York, 1767. "Perhaps an assumed name for Colonel Thomas Forrest, of Germantown," a MS. note on an old copy in the Library of Philadelphia. This opera was rehearsed by the Douglas Company in Philadelphia, but was withdrawn, supposedly on account of personal allusions of a rather pointed character. The _Disenchantment_ was really printed in Philadelphia by Thomas Goddard, although bearing a New York imprint. FOWLER, MANLY B.
