The Acting National Drama PDF Download

Excerpt from The Acting National Drama: Comprising Every Popular New Play, Farce, Melo-Drama, Opera, Burletta, Etc;, Carefully Printed From the Prompting Copies The famed city of Bath is the birthplace of Mr. Bayly, which event occurred on the 13th of October, 1799. He is very highly connected. His father was the nephew of Lord Delamere, and Sir George Thomas, Bart., was his maternal grandfather. He is also related to the present Earl of Stamford and Warrington, and the Earl of Errol. It may be said he "lisped in numbers," for at ten years of age, the writing of verses and dramas was his chief pastime, and displaying a more than ordinary talent, he was allowed to follow the bent of his inclination, having the inheritance of riches in prospect, and being an only child. In 1826 he was united to Miss Helena Becher Hayes, a near relation of Sir William Becher, Bart. In 1831 his resources, through the improvidence of others, became so crippled, as to compel him to turn his love of poesy and general literature to account, and make his pen add to his comforts as it had formerly done to his amusement.
