Mr. Bunn on the Stage, at the St. James's Theatre - Scene the Blackfriars Theatre, [London], 1850....a "monologue"...on things theatrical, on the great Shakspeare...The argument was relieved by jests old and new, by anecdotes ditto, and by recitations which showed considerable histrionic talent...Mr. Bunn delivered his lecture with much ease and tact, though not without signs of weariness towards the conclusion - a result not to be wondered at, considering that he spoke altogether for more than three hours. In treating of the "genius and career of Shakspeare, " Mr. Bunn illustrated his humble origin and great personal merits, by reference to the localities associated with his history - pictorial representations of which were given. These consisted of eight views: being the exterior and interior of Shakspeare's birth-place, Anne Hathaway's cottage, the "Blackfriars" and "Globe" theatres...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
