FOOTNOTES:
[126] Macklin was the original Buck; but when Foote produced the
farce, during his own engagement, he played the part himself.
[127] During the period here referred to, Foote played the part.
[128] He certainly played during this summer, but probably only for a
short period.
[129] This is very inaccurate. "The Cozeners" was produced in 1774,
and Dodd was not hanged till 1777.
[130] Jackson who, as "Curtius," threatened Garrick.--_Doran MS._
[131] Edwin made his first appearance in London in 1776, as Flaw, in
"The Cozeners."
[132] Should be Miss Farren.
[133] There is a slight confusion here. The company opened at the
Haymarket in September. They did not go to Drury Lane till April.
