Mr. Douglas Jerrold and Mr. Charles Kean

Pamphlet, bifoliate, sm. folio, [4pp.], sl. chipped and marked, NO sign of extraction from a book. The author reminds the reader of the attacks on Charles Kean in "Punch" and "Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper" "in which "rational criticism is entirely superseded by personal hostility". He asks what gave rise to such "pertinaceous malevolence", finding the answer in the correspondence between Jerrold and Kean (26 April to 14 Oct. 1853) which he prints, introducing it with a substantial extract from "Punch", 6 May 1854 "and copied into 'Lloyd's' of the 7th" (a savage review of "Faust" at the Princess's). I have traced no copy of this item (COPAC, BLC, HOLLIS, etc.). Michael Slater, in his biography of Jerrold, gives the background to this hostility and refers to an article by "Audax" in a periodical which echoes the theme of this item (but is obviously different). Slater refers to the publication by Kean of this pamphlet - fn.56 for p.258 - obviously having access to a copy I haven't yet managed to trace.
