The «tory of the production of
“ Our American Cousin” has often
been told, but a new light w m
thrown upon the history of Lofd
Dundreary when Joseph Jefferson
related to me the following facts:
' It appears that Mr. Jefferson was
at the time of. this production sup*
posed to be suffering from consump­
tion. He told me that his doctors
declared that his only hope wm to

matter, m they were both merely
stock actors.

Cousin” was read to' the company,

The veiled prophet, Mokanna

not a mere poetic fiction. Mokanna
lived in the eighth century. Pre­
tending to be an incarnation of God,
he founded a sect in Kliorusaan

he was for a time successful, but
