Extract if a letter from Stratford-upon-Avon, Aug. 14. . .
[1 1/4 columns on plans for the Shakespeare jubilee, with
the following references:] . . . Our celebrated English
Roscius, whose elegance and refined taste are justly allowed
to be greatly superior to any of his predecessors, either
ancient or modern, seems to have pledged himself to the
public to exhibit to the world (like Prospero in the
Tempest) before he retires from busy life, a specimen of his
art, . . . The building is carried on under the immediate
directions of Mr. Garrick himself, and under his direction
also the spectacular are to be entirely conducted. . .
[roads to be built, one to be called the Shakespeare Road] .
