The new tragedy,3 owing to good acting, will have some
temporary success; your remarks on Miss
O’Neil appear to be very just. With all her merits she is

Elizabeth O'Neill (1791-1872)
Irish-born actress who excelled in parts such as Ellen in the adaptation of Scott's The Lady of the Lake; she retired in 1819 following her marriage to
William Wrixon-Becher (1780-1850), Irish MP.
