"<i>Hamlet</i>r is perfectly within the scope of [$Holman='s] powers; but his performance last night did not exhibit one discriminate feature of the character. He 'out Heroded Herod' throughout, with more than his usual perseverance. The praise of the evening rests with Munden, who laudably endeavoured to rescue Polonius from the buffoonery which has hitherto disgraced him" (<i>Morning Herald</i>, 6 Nov.).
