In February, 1829, Mr. Nazro, of the Roundhill School (Northampton?), made
the following singular challenge to Edwin Forrest, the tragedian. We do
not know whether or not it was accepted.

The Boston Evening Bulletin of Wednesday last contains the
following:--

"A CARD. If Mr. Edwin Forrest, the Tragedian, thinks that more
effect can be produced by reading Tragedy than can be by
reading from Scripture, Mr. Nazro, Instructor of Elocution,
from Roundhill School, would deny it fully, and offers to meet
him, Mr. Forrest, in any town in the United States, and read
from Scripture, and Mr. Forrest shall read from Tragedy.

_Boston_, 25th Feb., 1829."
