Memoir of Henry Compton (Classic Reprint) - Henry Compton

Excerpt from Memoir of Henry Compton
This brief memoir of Mr. Compton has been written in response to the wishes expressed by his professional brethren, as well as by his private friends.
If the former find their recollection of their fellow-actor quickened, and the latter are able to recall more distinctly the valued friend, our exertions will not have been fruitless.
We have here to acknowledge, too briefly, the assistance which has been readily afforded us by many friends; to Mr. Brudenell Carter, who has cheerfully given his time and his counsel, we are so much indebted that gratitude compels us to state an obligation we cannot hope to requite.
The frequent recurrence of the words "my father" is due to each of us having written the parts he was best acquainted with.
