"Whatever Sheridan has done, or chosen to do, has been _par
excellence_ always the best of its kind. He has written the best
comedy, the best farce, and the best address ('Monologue on
Garrick'), and, to crown all, delivered the very best oration (the
famous Begum speech) ever conceived or heard in this
country."--_Byron._
This appears to be the study for, or a replica of, the head of
Sheridan in the picture of the Interior of the old House of Commons
in 1793, painted by Karl Anton Hickel, and now in the National
Portrait Gallery.
