Philip and See also:Stephen, was See also:born at See also:Brecon, See also:South See also:Wales, on the 25th of See also:November 1775. He, too, was educated at See also:Douai.
After returning to See also:England in 1792, he obtained a situation in the See also:post-See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, but this he soon resigned for the See also:stage, making his first recorded See also:appearance at See also:Sheffield as Orlando in As You Like It in that See also:year. During the See also:early See also:period of his career as an actor he made his way slowly to public favour. For a considerable See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

grace and finish which received scant See also:justice from the critics. His first See also:London appearance was on the 21st of See also:April 1794, as See also:Malcolm to his brother's See also:Macbeth. Ultimately he won See also:independent fame, especially in such characters as See also:Archer in See also:George See also:Farquhar's See also:Beaux' Stratagem, Dorincourt in Mrs See also:Cowley's Belle's Stratagem, Charles See also:Surface and See also:Ranger in Dr See also:Benjamin Hoadley's Suspicious See also:Husband. His Laertes and See also:Macduff were hardly less interesting than his brother's -See also:Hamlet and Macbeth. In See also:comedy he was ably supported by his wife, See also:Marie Therese De See also:Camp (1774-1838), whom he married on the 2nd of See also:July 18o6. His visit, with his daughter Fanny, to See also:America during 1832 and 1834, aroused much See also:enthusiasm. The later period of his career was clouded by See also:money embarrassments in connexion with his See also:joint proprietorship in Covent See also:Garden See also:theatre. He formally retired from the stage in See also:December 1836, but his final appearance was on the loth of April 184o. For some time he held the office of examiner of plays. In 1844–1845 he gave readings from See also:Shakespeare at See also:Willis's Rooms. He died on the 12th of November 1854. See also:Macready regarded his Cassio as incomparable, and summed him up as " a first-See also:rate actor of second-rate parts."
