Hammond, when it also enjoyed a large share of public support, Mrs. Nesbitt and Mrs. Stirling gracing it with their presence; here, Mr. Douglas Jerrold, for a short time, appeared on the stage, in one of his own admirable dramas; and here, too, when under the management of Mr. W. Farren, that admirable actress, Mrs. Glover, fulfilled her last engagement on the stage, previous to the evening of her farewell benefit at Drury Lane, an evening which she only survived a few days. Lessee, Mr. G. Purday. Doors open at half-past six; performances commence at seven. Admission: stalls, four shillings; boxes, three shilings [sic]; pit, one shilling; gallery, sixpence. Second price to the boxes only at nine o clock” (217). - Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 2001
