years commencing with the season of 1800. On the first of Oct. he made his first bow to a London audience, in the characters of Acres in the Rivals and Crack in the Turnpike-gate.

His correct delineation of the numerous characters which he successively assumed in play, farce, and opera, made him an universal favourite. His Fluellen, Menenius, Polonius, Pistol, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Sir Hugh Evans, and many others, were evidences of the soundness of his judgment and versatility of his talents.

Mr. Blanchard was twice married, and had several children. His health, neither benefited by poverty, misfortune, nor seeking means to forget them, had been for some time impaired. On the Tuesday previous to his death, he dined at Hammersmith, and about 6 in the evening quitted his friends for his residence at Chelsea. On his way, he must have had a fit and fallen into a ditch, from which it appears that he could not extricate himself until nearly 3 o'clock in the morning. On the day after, he got up and shaved himself, but in the course of the evening was visited by another severe fit, which was succeeded by one on the Thursday, still more violent, and on the following day he died. His remains were interred in the burialground of Chelsea New Church, attended to their final resting-place by his youngest son, aged 15; Mr. Fearman, his son-inlaw; his brother-in-law, Mr. Harrold; Mr. Fisher, father of Miss Clara Fisher; Mr. W. Evans, Mr. Thomas Grieve, Mr. Drinkwater Meadows, Mr. F. Matthews, Mr. Warner, and Mr. Tilbury. All the members of the dramatic corps would, from the high esteem they entertained for poor Blanchard, have attended his obsequies, had not his own particular relations wished the ceremony to be performed as privately as possible. He was fortunately a very old member of the Covent-garden Theatrical Fund, and hence his widow will receive for life an annuity of 401. per annum.

There is a portrait of Mr. Blanchard in the European Magazine for July 1817.
