Note 28 — 1785.
Reading edition
'Mrs. Hartley was an actress of some popularity; more celebrated, however, for her beauty. She was one of those ladies whose career on the stage was without reproach. She was painted by several of the first artists, and among others by Sir Joshua Reynolds, in one of her best characters. No female, perhaps, that ever appeared on the stage looked more lovely than she in Fair Rosamond. Mr., afterwards Sir Bate Dudley, married the sister of this lady.'
