The finest poetical pieces, or the noblest prose composi- tions— with all the beauties with whiih educat- ed readers have considered themselves familiar from freqxient reading — have had new ideas and j;races of style l)rou;^ht forth for admira- tion, by the rlear diction, expressive intona- tion and gesture of Mr. Bell. — Irish Times, Uublin, Iiclaiui. We have, on many previous occasions, stolen an hour's delight in listening to the very ex- quisite " Ilea. lings of IShakespe ire" by Pro- fessor lii'll. We confess the deep and entire satisfaction with whirh we have heard each noble thought, each glorii>us burst of feeling, each vivid gleam of passion, as pourtrayed by the poet ; each delicate touch ot character, be- tr ying the depth to which he sounded the human hi^art.— Freeman's Journal, Dublin, Ire fa lid. Mr. Bell's powers of delivery and action are of a very liigh order, and drew forth from the crowded auiliences re|jeated bursts of applause. .Some had their recollections of the Kembles, of Siddoiis and of Kean revived, and ccmfessect their ancient favorites were equalled. Mr. Bell's voice poHsesses great depth and power, with much flexibility and sweetness of tone. His action is most gracefid and natural. — Evenini/ Post, Edinbur[/h, Scotland. This distinguished reader, whose name has long been a housef'old word in the home of every educated Irishman, made his appearance under the auspices of the Cork Young Men's Society. The Munster Hall never before fur- nished so charmingly intellectual an entertain- ment, and i«eljh declamation, sweet pathos, or sly drol- lery, will come away disappointed. — Free Press, London, Ont.
