Page 36-J. Howard Payne died April 9th, 1852, aged 60 years and ten months. According to Mr. Gabriel Harrison's memoir (which we intended to follow), the date and place of birth and date of death, as inscribed on Payne's tombstone in Tunis, are all wrong. Page 155-The demonstration against young Burke took place December 12th, 1836, during Blake's management. It was Master Burke's first appearance in Albany after his return from Europe, and the play was Romeo and Juliet." He was called upon by about a fourth of the audience to disavow the sentiments of his father, who, it was alleged, had attacked Daniel O'Connell in the public prints. Dr. Burke was present, but was not permitted to speak. Young Burke was at last allowed to say that he was too young to meddle in politics, and ought not to be held accountable for the fanlts of others. This did not satisfy the rioters, however, who were finally driven from the theatre and the play went on.

Abso

The compiler is aware that several discrepancies in names have occurred, owing to the different ways they have been placed upon play-bills. In such cases, the index should be regarded as the nearest correct. lute accuracy seems well nigh impossible in a work of this kind; and for such errors, typographical, and others as do not affect the sense, the compiler asks the indulgence of the courteous reader.
