To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On Oct. 19, 1842, he made his re-appearance at the Haymarket in the part of Mr, Dave, and with a few short breaks his connection with this theatre lasted until his retirement from the stage. It was during one of these breaks that he created at the Lyceum (Nov. i, 1847) the character of £ox in Maddison Morton's immortal 'Box and Cox.' He also appeared under Bunn's management at Drury Lane. In 1853, on Benjamin Webster's removal to the Adelphi, Buckstone undertook the management of the Haymarket.... He opened his first season on Easter Monday, March 28, with a performance of the ' Rivals.' Besides Mr. Barry Sullivan, his company included the two rare comedians whose names, with his own, shed a lustre over the declining days of the Old Ha)rmarket — Compton, the inimitable Touchstone , Gravedigger, Crabtree, Mawworm ; and Chippendale, lovingly re- membered as " old Chip," than whom no more ex- quisite Sir Peter, Sir Anthony or Mr. Hardcastle ever trod the boards. Though much excellent and delight- ful work was done at the Haymarket under Buck- stone's rule, as thousands of living play-goers can tes- tify, yet he cannot be described as a distinguished or successful manager.
