Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of James Sheridan Knowles
H tt, who was, then a young man, his senior by several yea1s. This great critic and essayist, instead of snee1ing at the crude attempts of the would be poet, encou 1aged them - kindly applauding what pleased him, and, as kindly, correcting what was faulty while he would condescend to quote for his pupil, choice passages from established w1iters, and would point out to him the characteristics of their excel lence. Thus, where there existed a total disparity in point of of love was formed between the man and the boy - a bond which tightened with the advance of life, and which, on the part of the former, was only loosened by death; while on that of the latter, it binds him still, in his old age, to the memory of his benefactor.
