To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Burnand handled him in 1866 (at the Strand) ; H. J. Byron followed suit at the Gaiety in 1874 ; last year we had the " Guy Fawkes, Esq. " of Messrs. " A. C. Torr " (Fred Leslie) and H. F. Clark; and I believe that Mr. Wilton Jones, too, has written a travestie on the subject. Charles II. Was burlesqued by Mr. Gilbert Arthur a'Beckett in 1872, the locale being the Court Theatre, and the full title of the piece " Charles IL, or Something like History. " In this, as in Mr. Recce's "Romulus and... Remus, " there was some parody of the Lyceum "Charles I. " Mr. Righton, as Cromwell, imitating both Mr. Irving and George Belmore, besides indulging in the cancan! W. J. Hill was the King, and Mme. Cornelie BURLESQUE OF HISTORY. 117 D'Anka the Queen (Catherine of Braganza). Pepys, Rochester, and Lily the Astrologer also figured in the piece. Cromwell was afterwards the leading personage in the " Oliver Grumble " of Mr. George Dance (Novelty, 1886).
