Review: New York Clipper, 16 February 1867, 358, 2d col., top.

“The ‘Merchant of Venice’ at the Winter Garden is doing a much better business than many of the millionaire merchants of New York, whose trade is not of a very encouraging nature at the present writing. ‘The Jew that Shakespeare drew’ drew large audiences during the past week, albeit it is not Mr. Booth’s masterpiece. The liberal manner in which Manager Stuart has placed the ‘third revival’ on the stage materially contributes to the success of the play. It will be continued until further notice, while

The Garden of Winter blooms on in good sooth,

With Scheller, and Gotthold, and young Edwin Booth.”
