Edwin Forrest at Home. ‘ ■ 1
[The following graphic sketch, byadistifi
guished Southerner, gives such uninteresting
account of the private life and heme of our
distinguished fellow-citizen, that we', cannot
control the desire of publishing it—although
it evidently was not intended to have;been
read except in the social circle, which'the
writer’s talents and acquirements greatly adorn.'
—Ed. Press,] i
PianAnstMiA, Jnly 12,1860. .
I left St. Louis more than a month ago,
and after pursuing my way, finally’ reached
Philadelphia. HaviDg visited -moot ot yoar
public places, and enjoyed the luxuries of the
Continental Hotel,! looked oter my letters
of introduction, and, among others, found one
presenting me to tho kind acquaintance of
Mr. Edwin Forrest. I deliberated a long time
whether I should use it or not. Jty*S»writteu
by one ofhis old friends—one wh6 had known
him in his poverty and in his prime—
shared his griefs as a strolling actor,**ftffparhcW
patedin his triumphs as the great master of the
American stage. But',' somehow or other, my
mind had beccme impressed with the idea that
Mr. Forrest was morose and hypercritical •
little disposed to open his heart to those who
liked him, and stillless willing to extend a wel
come,to a stranger like myself. But I had seta
Independence HalljGirardCollege.Faimimiit,
and the Mint; had visited your great'sqtmnrr
had enjoyed a ride over your unequalled city
railroads, and had generally collected enough
Information to fill half a dozen.columns of the
St. Louis Republican —all relating to the fe
sonrees and population, aud the Characteris
tics of Philadelphia; and finally,' bne' doll
afternoon, I concluded that the next morning
I would run the risk, aud pay a visit io Edwin
Forrest. . r i
1 was directed by the agreeable chief clerk
of the Continental to'iake the Fifteenth-street
car until I came to Master street, which 1 ac
cordingly did, and about half past nine o’clock
in the tnorniDg I arrived at Mr. Forrest’s'resl
dcnco, which is situated at the corner of iHu
ter and Broad streets. It is a large, sutatan
tial building, with a brown-stone front, ttielot
of which extends, I should- say, about one
hundred and fifty leet on Broad street, and
running hack some two hundred feel. [The
house itself presents a (rout, of some fifty,
and:has a depth of one hundred and' thirty
live feet. There is an air of comfort an£ in
dustry about it that displays the presence
.of 1 emalo thrift and attention. |
1 rung the bell,' andwas soon adtaittedhy a
servant girl, who received my car# and litter,
and carried them to Mr.'Forrest. She returned
for answer that he was at home, but, in his
garden, and requested me to follow-her. .
1 did so, and found the tragedian in tjie
space behind his house, busily engaged witch
ing the operations of some men he' bad’ em
ployed who were cutting his grass. . I knew
him instantly. He was bareheaded, and wore
a long, light morning gown. The >flusjr of
health was pn his cheeks, and his step was as
firm and elastic as when I last saw him jjtay
Othello on the boards of the St. Louis Theatre,
1 confess 1 was snrprised to see him looking
so well. He has endured much misfortune iu
private life. Flattered on the one hand, and
persecuted on the other, I expected to see
him utterly broken down, but I wax both grati
fied and astonished to notice that he locked
more like a man oi forty-five, than like; one'
who had passed over half & century on this
World’s tUS»c===|==k- , ?

the weather,‘ask*d'tae hqjr I liked Fhlliiew
phla, and said;.id a'laughing way, ‘-I am, In
some degree, a bachelor;-but if you will come
with me to my library'we will sit down land
talk about our mutual friends, and learn to
know each other better.”
I.was pleased with this frankness, and, fol
lowed him up a broad flight of stairs into Mb
library, which is a splendid roojn, extending
the whole depth ot the bnildtng, and occupied,
at a rough estimate, by about fire thousand
volumes. lie motioned mo to an oasy chair,
and wo were soon immersed in a busy conver
sation about the people of St. Lonis, the
growth of the city, the crops, and everything
that could properly enter into a discourse be
tween gentlemen who had jnst been introduced
to each other. Excusing himself for a] few
moments, his temporary absence enabled* me
to take a rapid glance of the room in which I
aat.
CORDIAI,
The books wero those of a thorough-bred
scholar. I found Shakspeare in every possi
ble variety of volume, from the oldest editions
to the latest—from those printed long, long
ago to those which havo only lately appeared,
gaudy In fashionable type and expensive pic
tures. Ono feature particularly arrested my
attention, and that was an old placard in an an*
tiqne frame, hnng over one of the mantels, In
scribed as follows:
“ Mr. Sherulan will sptak at the dost of the
poll."
Here was the tribute of the great American
tragedian to the great English dramatist and
orator. I almost devoured the old English
type in which this placard was printed, andre
called the magnificent scene in the trial of
Warren Hastings, as described by Macaulay,
when the dramatic advocate prosecuted the
great millionaire of India as a public ill-doer.
Mr. Forrest’s library, lrontmg on Broad
street; and looking from the west over his fine
lot, has every appearance of the retiring piaco
of a great mind. The books seem to bo in con
stant use, and in the course of conversation
with my host, I soon learned that he was well
acquainted with most of their authors. He
makes no pretensions to scholarship, and yet
it was not difficult to perceive that although
nearly entirely self-edncated, he had gleaned
a vast amount of knowledge during his inter
course with men and books. Ho speaks
French exceedingly well, and can lay his hand
upon any authority in that language or our
own with surprising readiness.
On his return I vory soonfound.a key to his
regard by referring to the writer of the letter
I bflro f o him, and beforo many minutes he ta
sted mo Into his bedroom, fof tho purpose ol
showing me, as he laughingly said, 'exactly
how ho lived. Over the head of his bod is a
fine picture of Shakspeare, and every picture
in this room is dramatic, and all by first-rate
artists, either painted or engraved. I noticed
Mrp, Siddons, George Frederick Cooke, Le
kain-r-the gfoat French actor—Garrick, Ed
ward Kean, Join) Kemble, Conway, and I was
pleased to see, also, old James Wsilaplj.
«Oome,” said Mr. Forrest, <> come with mo,
andlet me abow you my paintings.” We de
scended to the first story, where, in a room
exactly the size 01, the library, I found bis
collection of paintings. Here, again, I bad
another insight into Mr, Forrest’s character.
The same order, cleanliness, and care, tbat
seemed, by some invisible agency, to preside
over the whole household, was signally appa-
rent. He threw open the windows, back and
front, and allowed me to enjoy a cursory
glance at bis pictures before describing them
himself. My eye was first attracted by tt)P
face and figure of a Napoleon, and cailipg his
attention to it he informed me tbat he had
recently purchased It in New York, and that
it was the production of a foreign artist., I do
pot kpow when I have etcr bpefi go much im
pressed as by a view of this picture. Tbo ar-
Itist has given us Napoleon just at the period
when ho discovers tbe burning of Moscow by
(he Russians, in his room in the Kremlin, and
Is watching the awful conflagration.
' la order to give yon an Idea ol the scene
which has been delineated by tbe artist, I copy
the following description lrom tbo, History. of
tbe Expedition to Kussia, undertaken by tbe
Emperor Napoleon In the'year. JBI2,As writ

. flamer, Napoleon, wheee sleep none bed dared to
. dlstarb during the night, wu awoke by the two-
fell light of day and of the burning city. . HUflrit
fwllnz was that of irritation, and he. would have
.Itajrea th« devouring element by the brfistk of his
bomtnand, but he soon paused, and yielded to 1m-
WoestbilUy. Surprised .that when he had strnok at
the heart of an empire he should find there any
other sentiment than that of abjeot. submission, ha
felt himself vanqqlehed, and surpassed in heroio
determination.
. “ This conquest, for which ho had ssorifieed
erery thing, was like a phantom whloh ho had
‘eagerly pnrsned, and at the moment when he Im
agined he had grasped Ithesswltvanlsh from him
■in a mingled mass of smoke' and fl.me. Ho was
'than seised with extreme sgitatlon; he seemed, ei
it were, consumed by the fires which Were around
him. He rose every moment from his seat, pacbtl
to and fro, and again sat abruptly down. Be tra
versed, his apartment with harried steps; his sud
den end vehement gestures betrayed a painful no-'
easiness; he quitted, resumed, and again as snd
.deniy abandoned an nrgent ocOnpatton, to haaten
,to .the windowa and. wqtch the progress of the
Borneo. Short and vehement exclamations burst
from' hts laboring bosom.. 1 What a tremendous
spectacle! -It Is their own .wprk! So many pa
laces.! ' Whst extraordinary resolution! what
men 1 These are indeed Spy thlans!’ ”
; The figure of Napoleon appears to be larger
than lift, approaching what artists call the he
roic size. Efe isstanding clothed in his mili
tary uniform, with a fun coat \ thrown over his
shoulders j his three-cornered hat at his sldo
and,, tin : expression •of .pain,■ and grief, ( juid
amazement upon his’ lace, whieh no pen can
faittiijtlly describe— only, the painter has
caught those inlngledcrnotidna, and trans
ferred them-to rthe immortal canvas.' The
resolute and sxed jaw,. the firm.compreßsed
month, the eagle eye,, the t’paie ■ agony on
his’forehead, the thin hair—itself indicative
oi the idea that his dream .was ‘Passing be
fore him, to nee the expression of Count de.
Segur, “in a mingled mass of’smoko and
flame.” The hands,iwonctorful In the sensa
tions they express, particularly: that with
which he .holds’ hack the heavy curtain, and
glares down upon the burning city—altoge
ther constitnto. such a picture as makes the
Observer hold ' his breath with admiration
and awe.’ It is an original production, of
which there is no copy in this country.
But let me pass on. Among the other chefs
d’ccuvres of this noble collection is an original
“ Holy Family,” by Andrea Del Sarto, a
splendid composition, suggesting to -the poet
and to the man of taste a thousand delightful
recollections. An original Mnrillo, represent
ing a « Spanish Troubadour,” and'several
copies of other great Works of the same mas
ter. An original Carlo Jiaratti—the -old
Italian of Mercury giving
Cupid to Venus; one by Kothermel—the
liaising of the Cross on the Mississippi—by
Do Soto i one by Leutze—« Why don’t He
Como”—Leutze being, the author of the fine
picture of Washington Crossing the Delaware;
one from tho pencil of Jan Steen,'a Flemish
painter of celebrityone by our famous
Mount—two boys fighting, tho, younger, fire
in his eye, telling the taller and stronger “ to
fight one of his own size.” A Bketch of Lear
byßothermel.
' I 'waßiglad to hear thabyour opulent towns,
man, Jpgfiph Harrison,.Esq,,:had paid Mr.
Bothermel twentyrflve hundred dollars for a
full sized Lear, taken from Forrestla persona-
tion of tliaf great character, and giving his
likeness,* This picture has . obtained a world
wide reputation, and within tho last two years
Hr. Harrison has purchased another, on the
same subject, by the Belgian artist, Wittkamp.
Both may now be seen in the gorgeons gallery
of this enterprising Philadelphian, at his resi
dence, on Bittenhonso Square.
There is a Sub production of Gnercino, of
“ Charity with Infants”—Charity being repre
sented by a beautiful, full-formed, healthy
wpmah, suckling two infants, with another
asleep upon her knee, and still another cling
ing about her neck. There is a head of the
great dramatist, Morton; one of George Fre
derick Cooke, by the illustrious Leslie—
whose delightful memoirs Dr. Shelton Mac
kenzie so interestingly reviewed a few days
ago in Tub PKzas—presented to Mr. For.
In
Tragedienne-, painted by Jan*' fjjuart, dahgtft
ter of Gilbert Stuart, the Revolutionary
artist —which lady is still living in Bos
ton ; - also, the last picture began and finished
by Stuart himself—being tho head of Mr.
Forrest; a large painting of Christ in the
Manger; one of the famous Nell Gwynne, the
beautiful mistress of King Charles the Second;
an American landscape, by tho celebrated
Doughty; a fine illuminated engraving of the
death of Queen Elizabeth; a head of old Jef
ferson, grandfather of the young Jefferson,
now playing in New Tork with such distin
guished success; a portrait of a child, by the
unrivalled Elliott, at this day roputed to be the
finest portrait painter in the world; the painter
Washington Alston in his library, by D. C.
Johnson, of Boston, a most espressivo deline
ation.
Two of the main features in the gallery; are
the well-known figures that for forty years oc
cupied the front of the old Ghestnut.Btroet
theatre, and were bought by Forrest when the
1 heatre was demolished. jThoy were carved in
wood, by Rush—a self-taught Philadelphia ar.
tlst, who would have been the master of his
profession, had he lived—and are claimed to bo
wonders of their art. Mr. Forrest takes great
delight in describing them. There aro, besides,
pictures ol Henderson' as Falßtaff, Garrick
in one of his best characters, and others.
Among the busts in this room, I noticed seve
ral of-Mr. Forrest himself, presented by the
sculptors i one of Webster, one of Burns, also
of Byron, Milton, Napoleon—a very rare one
by Canova, of Alfierl, the great Italian poet.
There is also a screen, formerly belonging to
the King of Holland, on copper, representing
Ariadne and Theseus, Dmdalus and Arcahuß,
and Proserpine, surmounted with exquisite
sketches of ancient arohit ecture.
I also noticed a flue view of Fonthill, the
property lately owned by Mr. Forrest, and now
in the possession of the Sistcrstol Charity of
Mt. St. Vincent. They purchased flfty-fivo
acres, leaving to him about thirty, which it is
said, will now command os much as he paid
for the entire property some years ago. Alter
the sale of Fonthill, to these Catholio ladies,
Mr. Forrest made them a donation of five
thousand dollars.
There are many other objects of interest in
this room which I have no time to describe.
In the hall there is a figure clad in complete
ancient armor, kept burnished as bright as sil
ver ; and the dining-room contains a number
of characteristic and appropriate illustrations.
In the reception room, on the lower floor, are
three flno portraits, intended to convey Mr.
forreat’s ovyn idea of the sword, the pen, mm}
the voice of the Amerioan Revolution— namely,
Washington, Jefferson, and Patrick. Henry.
Thero is also a splendid likeness of Andrew
Jackson, of whom Mr. Forrest is a worshipper,
having known him in life, and shared a great
deal of his confidence. Over the mantel is the
family picture of the mother of the groat tra
gedian, singularly resembling her gifted son.
In tho hall, up etairg, hetween the library
and tho sleeping room, thero is a picture of
a dog, to whioh Forrest called my attention.
« That dog,” said ho, « followed me for many
years through the Wost, when I was a poor
actor, without money or friends. I loved him
as if ho had been a human being. Many a
time, while on a tramp, would I Bit down op a
hot afternoon by the sido of the road, and en
joy my humble meal with him, and I am not
ashamed to Bay that he was my co-actor in
•The Dog Of Montargis,’ in which I took the
leading part.”
Hr.' Forrest llveo like p gentleman, and
without being ostentations, is evidently a most
hospitable and liberal entertainer. He is a
closo student, rises early, and devotes much
of his time to the cultivation of his grounds.
From what I observed, I take him to be a
very thorough businoss map, and I have been
informed, by those who know him, that he
manages his uwn affairs with great regularity
and care. Host of bissuccef# in life is doubtless
due to his wonderful professional triumphs i
but he,has increased ( hla means by careful and
fortunate- Ho owns a property
at Covington, Kentucky, opposite Cincinnati,
which he bought a number of years, ago, and
which has. vastly “ appreciated,” and will be
come immensely valuable Iti the course cf
time, He is also the owner of considerable
property in New York, and must be largely
interested in United Statessecttritles. Should
he finally fail in the suit 'pfosetnted with such
extraoVdlriary animation and acrimony by Mrs.
Sinclair and her friends', it need'not be antici
pated that it wilTgreatly embarrass Mm.
, Mr. Forrest lives' with the only surviving
members of his family'—his unmarried sis
lers—ladies of great worth, and warmly be
loved by a large circle of friends. In con
versing witn him.l discovered that ho had not'
entirely abandoned |he idea, of reappearing
uppn the stage. He is in such fine preser
vation, and, looks so well, his voice ,is so fall,
round and,c]ear, and his interest in the pro-'
gress of theatricals so animated, that I do not
see how he can resist yielding to.the general
expectation that he should resume his profes
sion. I understand' that a number of the
leading citizens of- Philadelphia, headed by
Mr. Joseph Harrison, have frequently ex
pressed a wish that he should content to the
proposition to give a series of personations of*
his great characters, ■at yonr Academy of'
MuMo. If this eonld be accomplished, iij con
nection ■ with. a well-selected compiqy, ft
would'doubtless attract continuous ’ertwds,'
andfreno l&fc naftifes in-'
terested; than Instructive to the conimiiiyity
large. - ; -
I made no allusion, during my visit, to Mr.
Forrest’s personal troubles—not, indeed, that
I feared ’he wonld bo indisposed to speak
of them, because,; he evidently feels ag
grieved at the. manner in wMch hi? op
ponents have, conducted their side oi the
case, bnt because it might seem intrusive in a'
stranger to open sueh a conversation, In
politics (everybody .talks politics now) Mr.
Forrest volunteered his opinions, and- with
great candor and clearness announced himself
a Douglas Democrat, exhibiting as thorough
a knowledge of the difierenco between the
various political organizations as many of
those who profess to know more.
I had heard of him in the South as an ar
dent friend oi Southern institutions, and I was
not, therefore, disappointed when he asserted
that one of his reasons for supporting Judge
Douglas was because he believed him tJ be. a
warm and devoted friend of the constitutional
rights of the South. I perceived, too, that
much of his attachment to Dongias grew on l
of tho fact that both were « children of the
people,” and that he gloried in the brilliant
career of tho Senator from Illinois—probably
because it resembled his own—Forrest having
reached the highest position in his profession,
and Douglas the highest in his, against every
conceivable and inconceivable obstacle.
Ho laughingly said, during IMs part of our
interview, “ I have always been a Democrat,
was born in old Southwark, and now live in
Spring Garden, where I have many old friends
—numbers of whom were schoolmates and
companions in my early life. They are! very
kind and partial to me, and are now asking me
to become a candidate for Congress, but I;have
no ambition in that direction, indeed, I doubt,
whether, even If elected, I' could take; the.
place, and I more than doubt if the party
managers wonld allow me to be nominated, be?
cause I happen to be attached to the| for
tunes of «the man of the people,’ Stephen A,
Douglas.”
Altogether, I was so delighted, and so pleas
ingly disappointed in my visit to Mr. Foijrest,
that I have concluded to send yon these rough
notes. If I have any regrets at all, ft is that
yonr townsman and friend should not make
himself more familiar with tho people. Hp has
his faults, (who has not?) and I am sorry some-'
times to 6ee evidences of tho impetuosity of
his impulses. But “ when shall we see his
like again ?” Criticise him as wo may,
ho never appears in the streets without
attracting public attention, and never per
sonates any of his great characters
without awakening the onthnsiasm of | the
abused by many members of
-him as their leader, and foTorgermijt^rflaißt
rivalries in his conceded greatness; and] al
though ottcn bitterly attacked by the press, it
is interesting to see how he Tetorts scorn ior
scorn, and how frequently those who censured
him most are glad at last to yield to his ad
mitted ability in bis profession.

The Bay of New York is not a poetical title
to excite the euriosity of the picture-seeing public,
yet we predict an almost unequalled success for
the pioture of that name that, for three mouths
past, has been under the patient living hands of
Mr. George L. Brown. Tho viewembraoesa large
portion of the oity, the mouth of the river, the bay,
and many other objects, all overarched by a eky ef
grand conceptions and masterly execution.—Eve
