            <text>&lt;p&gt;THE CONNOISSEUR: A Monthly Record of the Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama. August. London: E. Mackenzie, 111, Fleet-street.&lt;br /&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;In the article entitled "The Drama" a well merited tribute is paid to the now first of tragic actresses Miss Cushman. Of this lady's remarkable likeness to MACREADY, the writer says --&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None can witness this lady's performance without being struck by the resemblance of, not only her countenance, but the tone of her voice, and many of what we will call her mannerisms, with those of Mr. Macready. The similarity is more remarkable than any we have yet observed between individuals not having some relationship with each other: and, but that we have reason to believe the lady has approached her thirty-fifth summer, and our veteran tragedian to be not much beyond fifty, we should suppose them to be something nearer than cousins. As it is, we must conclude that similar physical formation in features and organs of sound have facilitated the natural tendency to imitation on the part of the lady, in adopting the peculiarities of one in whom she must have met, for the first time, a mind, temperament, and energy, congenial with her own. We care not how soon we see them together.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
