To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But Aston here does 44 ANTHONY ASTON what scarcely another contemporary was able to do, namely, he humanizes the persons dealt with and of. Eschewing mere platitudes, he justifies or condemns by pointing to concrete excellences and palpable faults, — to specific tones and ges- tures, to glances and attitudes, to personal man- nerisms and even to physical defects and virtues which impeded or enhanced the effectiveness of the particular character he writes about. Bell- chamber, who first reprinte...d the Brief Supple- ment in his "Cabinet" in 1808, 1 is very indignant at Aston's characterization of Betterton, but, in this instance, Bellchamber's prejudice is so marked as to neutralize what might otherwise stand for an excellent judgment. Moreover, he ignores the fact that Aston takes for his text the quotation, Nemo sine crimine vivit, and empha- sizes that it is an antidote to Gibber's Apology that he is preparing. As for the depiction of Betterton, Tony states very clearly that he is writing about the great actor as he knew him, that is, as he appeared in his later years on the stage.
