The press awarded him unqualified praise, as the best American actor who had visited England. His nightly triumphs beside the eminent Macready; his great successes when placed in the scale with G. Y. Brooke; and his marked excellence when standing alone, all give sanction to this one opinion; and he now returns to his native land, bearing with him the best wishes of troops of friends...'.
