PAVILION OF QUEEN MAB. (Tomkins.)
Charles Tomkins, a young artist, who rapidly attained a considerable reputation but was unfortunately compelled to relinquish his profession in consequence of a sunstroke, from the effects of which he never recovered. He died in 1838.
Miss Rebecca Isaacs. This intelligent little girl developed into a delightful vocalist, and held for many years a prominent position in the concert-room, as well as on the stage. (d. 21st April, 1877.)
Mrs. Anderson, who died on the 1st May, 1848, was Josephine Bartolozzi, only sister of Mdme. Vestris, whom she slightly resembled resembled in features. Her marriage with a man named Anderson, well-known on the turf and in the sporting circles generally of that day, was unfortunate. By him she had two daughters, who were most kindly cared for and educated by their aunt, the youngest subsequently being introduced by her on the stage, as I shall hereafter have occasion to notice.
