DANGEVILLE, MARY ANNE BOTOL,

A celebrated French actress, considered as superior to any of her profession in the class of characters she personated; she was the representative of the waiting-maids of French comedy. She died, March, 1796; but, more fortunate than people of higher station and greater talents, her eulogium was pronounced two years before her decease. In September 1794, M. Molé, at the Lyceum of Arts, at Paris, delivered a panegyric on this distinguished actress.
