Excerpt from Rosamund Gray, Essays and Letters
TO descant upon his merits as a Comedian would be superfluous. 1th his blended private and pro fessional habits alone I have to do; that harmonious fusion Of the manners of the player into those of every-day life, which brought the stage boards into streets and dining-parlours, and kept up the play when the play was ended. I like Wrench, a friend was saying to him one day, because he is the same natural, easy creature on the stage that he is of. My case exactly, retorted Elliston, with a charming forgetfulness that the converse Of a proposition does not always lead to the same conclusion, I am the same person of the stage that I am on. The infer ence, at first sight, seems identical; but examine it a little, and it confesses only that the one performer was never, and the Other alwaysjacting.
