Two Volumes, Zvo, Thirty Shillings, 
THE LIFE OF EDMUND KEAN. 
FROM 
VARIOUS PUBLISHED AND ORIGINAL SOURCES. 
By F. W. HAWKINS. 
“In all romance, in all literature, there is nothing more melancholy, 
nothing more utterly tragic, than the story of the career of Edmund 
Kean. So bitter and weary a struggle for a chance, so splendid and 
bewildering a success, so sad a waste of genius and fortune, so lament- 
able a fall, can hardly be found among all the records of the follies 
and sins and misfortunes of genius .” — Morning Star, 
Three Volumes, Zvo, £2 2s. Second Edition.

“ The very nature of his subject has given these volumes peculiar 
interest.” — Times, 
“ Here, however, we must part with Mr. Jesse, not without renewed 
thanks for the amusement which he has given us .” — Quarterly Review. 
“Mr. Jesse’s volumes are brimful of amusement and interest.” — 
Spectator. 
“ Mr. Jesse’s book is one to be eagerly read, and enjoyed to a degree 
rarely experienced in the perusal of English memoirs .” — Morning Post. 
“Nor do we hesitate to recommend the result of his labours to 
general even more than to studious readers, satisfied that whilst un- 
consciously imbibing instructive information, they will be carried along 
from chapter to chapter by a keen sense of intense and unflagging 
amusement .” — Daily Telegraph.
