The late Mary Verney, Baroness Formanagh, 
“(whose death we have already noticed in

deceasing unmarried, the title of Fermanagh

{Further particulars of Mr. Lewis, whose 
“death is recorded at page 7:8 of our last Num= 
ber.] This gentleman, as acomie actor, was 
‘certainly at the’ head of his profession 'for 
the whole of the period of which he was on 
the London stage. He had acquired consi- 
derable fame as a comedian, before he ven- 
tured upon the boards of the great metropolig 
of the British empire. He made his first ape 
‘pearance in London at Ceyent Garden The- 
atre, about the year 1774, in the part of the 
West Indian, which he represented ‘with so 
much ease, sprightliness, and humour, ‘that 
_he fixed his reputation on his first appear- 
‘ance, ‘and madesuch a progress in public 
favour, that he was, during the whole of his 
tareer, ‘the popular comedian of his day. 
From the characters which he generally as- 
sumed, and from his well-bred manners in 
-private life, he soon acquired the designation 
of Gentleman Lewis, to distinguish him ftom 
‘Leé Lewes, who generally dg parts of 
‘a less elegant description. r. Lewis came 
upon’ the London boards just as poor Wood 
ward was closing his career, and he was the 
rightful inheritor of that excellent actor’s 
‘¥ange of characters; and was indeed capable 
of assuming parts: which Woodward ‘would 
have been'inéapable Of representing; such, 
for instance, as’ Faulkland in the Rivals, a 
part which Mr. Lewi8’ rendered “very pros 
tminent in that admirable comedy, and which 
he supported with all requisite ease and’sen- 
sibility, There was’ an original ‘spirit, 
gaiety, and whim, in Mr’ Lewis’s manner, 
which not only enabled him to display the 
general round of Stock characters, ‘as the 
are called, of the legitimate drama, wit 
great skill, but which induced O'Keeffe, and 
‘other drarnatic writers of the present day, todes — 
sign parts entirely for the purpose of drawing 
forth his peculiar talents, and affording scope 
‘for the exuberance of his humour. © Indeed it 
_may be truly said, that many productions of 
the present day were indebted” for the favou 
with which they were received wholly to the 
whim, geiety, and ‘originals humour, with 
which he supported the principal characters, 
But the powers’ of Mr. Lewis were not con- 
fined to comedy. He was a very respectable 
actor in the tragic province ; and we are as- 
sured that the excellence which he displayed 
in Mrs, Hafnah More's tragedy’ of Percy,
