Review: New York Clipper, 27 December 1864, 286.

      “[The] tragedy of ‘Hamlet,’ as produced at the Winter Garden, with Mr. Edwin Booth as the melancholy Dane, is as clever an intellectual treat as one need desire to witness, and it is not at all surprising that it has met with such public favor and approval.”
