The stage of any country, whether it flourishes or not, is sure to produce a crop of good stories, and no one can tell good stories better than Dr. Doran." DAILY NEWS, _Dec._ 29, 1863.--"An elaborate history of the drama in all its aspects.... When once taken up it must be read through. Every page of the work is barbed with wit, and will make its way point foremost.... These volumes provide entertainment for the most diverse tastes." SATURDAY REVIEW, _Dec._ 26, 1863.--"As a collection of anecdotes and brief biographies, Dr. Doran's book leaves little or nothing to desire." MORNING POST, _Jan._ 16, 1864.--"Dr. Doran's book contains a copious review of all subjects connected with dramatic literature, with the lives of players, and with the business of the stage, during the whole period of the rise and growth of theatrical representations in England. The style of the volumes is clever and amusing in a high degree; and the diversified stories of information which they condense entitle them to a perusal by every lover of the drama, and especially by every aspirant to the honours of the sock and buskin." 13 Waterloo Place, S.
