ABSTRACT
I will not enlarge on the various Characters in which he excelled, and therefore shall only observe that in Othello he has left the strongest Impression on me. Mr Cibber (who has been sparing of his Praise) admits it to be his best Part. He says in Page 477,1 ‘The Master-piece of Booth was Othello; there he was most in Character, and seemed not more to animate himself in it than his Spectators.’ Let us consider this Character as inimitably drawn by the Author, where all the various Passions of the Soul are called forth.
