Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Jubilee of Playgoing This little work, which was originally written for private circulation, has passed through two editions. At the wish of many who did not obtain copies I have issued a Third Edition, carefully revised and corrected, and written up to date. I have endeavoured as far as possible (almost entirely from memory) to enumerate the various performances I have seen during fifty years. There were but few theatres at the west end of London when I first began to visit them, so that the playgoer of that time had not the advantage of much variety, but this was counterbalanced by the fact that the casts of the pieces were much stronger, as all the good actors were associated together. This was especially the case at Drury Lane and Govent Garden Theatres. I venture to hope that the book may prove interesting to the public, or at least to the playgoing portion.
