111 C LIFE OF DAVID GARRICK, ESQ. BY ARTHUR
MURPHY,.

A 9 the Drama constitutes so- large a portion,ot
our, rational anisemencs, and is of considerable
importance in point of morns, it must he always'
gratifying to Englishmen to Sfe its dignity pro-
perly supported., The Dramatic Poets of this
Country are acknowledged by all judicious Cri-
tics to be equal to any that the world has pro-
duced, and in the instance of SH AKSP EAR E it may
be said without arrogance, that theßritish Drama is
Indeed superior to all others. What SHAKSP EAR F.
is in Dramitic Poetry,,GA RR tett was in theatrical
expeessioo. They were made for each other, and the
boldest flights of the,Poet's fancy were embodied
by the accurate judgment) pregnant imagination,
vivid :Sensibility, profound knowledge of hOrnan
nature,,:arid happy combination of .figure, voice,
and face, animated with all the powers of appro-
priate adian by the Performer. It was with
much pleasure we heard that the Life of this in-
comparable Aaor was to be given to the world
by -his friend' Mr. Mu artly,,a Writer who has
shewn' SQ much knowledge of. the Dramatic Art,
'and who ha&so many 'opportunities of observing
the excellence Which he had undertaken to record,
that the Public had full reason to repose with
confid'ence
.on his judgment. Mr. MuarHY has
executed his duty with zeal and fidelity. , He
ha's giVen as faithful a .Portrait of the AElor
as the pen of a Biographer could exhibit.
of a genius' so elevated and so versatile. But
Mr. Muarity does not merely view Mr, GAR-
RICK as an Aaor. 'He traces with an impartial
pencil his conduit. as. an Author, as a Manager,
and in his charaCter as a Member of. Society.. In
every point of view GARRICK appears to great
advantage.; with no other faults than such as be.
long to human nature, and with fewer, we be-
lieve, titan would have been found in most men,
so admired, so distinguished, and so flattered. •
We mayi. hereafter, indulge our Readers with
E'
some xtraas'from this interesting treasury. of
It
theatrical knowledge, but at present we shall give
the Author's at count of the only dispute in which.
he was:ever involved with GARR Mg) and which
is, for the first time, presented-to the Public in
the work before us. • It is at all times a difficult
and an irksome task for" a man .to speak of him-
self, particularly on thosb points in which his
own pride or vanity may be supposed to be inte-
rested. Mr. MintP.HY; however, seems to have
performed this task with candour, and
truth,

" Ltr-themonth Of April follOtving (t7s9), the
Tragedy of Tke Orphan of China gained admit-
tance to thc boards of Drury.l.atteitage, Of
the Play itself, the_ Author; as becomes him,
chuses to remain in strio silence; but as it en-
countered a number of difficulties, it will not he
improper
,to state 'the, particulars, especially as a
very. lame and impeded account has been pub-
lished by different Writers, who do not secm to
have had authentic information. As this was' the
first, and, indeed, the last, disagreeable contro-
versy this Writer ever had with Mr. Garrick,
it is with relu6tancethat he now recalls it to his
memory, but he .thinks that the truth, and no-
thing'but the truth, should be laid before the
The account shall be condensed into as
natrow A compass us possible.

" At the cloe%of the season 1758, the Author
tendered his Play to Mr. Garrick, Whci; in :1
few days, rcturnedit as totally unfit for the Stage.
A young Author could not easily submit to what
he thought an aet of injustice. Perhaps he swel-
led with too' much pride. When he looki hack
to. Ws own 'ot'ltlut.4. on the occasion, he is willing
to, pasA a ,censure. on himself; but, being encou-
-raged,hy two friends, on whose judgement and
integrity he bad reat reliance, he began a Paper.
War, He knee, that anxiety lot his fame, was
the Manager's reigning foible ; on the slightest
attlick, he .was treoWingly alive all o'er. This
Writer tiiak advantage of that tailing, and open-
ed a &tee Campaign. ' Garrick , made bis com.
plaint at. Holland .House, Mr. • Fox, In conse
quence of it, sent for this Writer, 'and deSired to
know, why so-much animosity to the great Mlor
of the age? The answer was, without reserve,
because jt was. the only ,way to obtain, redress.—
' Bui,' said Mr. FoN, after the
~,..AppreittiCe and
the Uphaisterer, I have no notion of. your being
able ro write a Travtly, I always give credit
to a Man,: whontT know" to be a great, master of
his Art, and ant:, therefore, afraid, that Gariiek
is in the fight,' He desired that the Tragedy
Might be
,sent .tobinii this was; accordingly done
—and in a few days, he infl!rrned the .Author,
do he and Mr. Horace Walpole read it to4ether,
and were both Of opinion% that it- was impro-
perly rejeded, Mr; Fox, at the. same time said,
''That Garrick was to dine at Holland House on
'the Sunday following,' and desired the •AuthOt :to
cni him the next day.'

•
" At that meeting, • the' fitst 'Word from' Mr.
Fox was, ' Have you heard from Mr. Garrick?''.
No, Sir.' You will hear from him,' said Mr.
Fox. • After dinner. yesterday, Mr. -Walpole
and, I repeated, at different times, some lines that
struck us ; Garrick Stared with.-an air Of
surprise; anti at last said, " I perceive that you
two Gentlemen have, been reading what I have
read," 6 Yes, Mr. Garrick;' replied Mr. Fax,
We have been reading, and admiring, what,
we are sure you admire.' Not a word more
• passed on the occasion ; but in a day or two.af.
ter, Garrick, by letter, desired to see the Orphan
of Chi:ta once more, as, in. his 'hurry; he might
'have passed an erroneous .judgment. The Play
was sent to him, and in a weeleGarrick returned
iii in a very polite stile, retraaing his former
sentence, and promising to an it early in the.
following year. All difficulties seemed now to
be removed, but in the month of Oftober broke
out again with redotibled This will cur.
prise tlfc reader, built is easy to.acclunt for it.
It was Garrick's misfortune to j)e too accessible
to a set' of invidious tale-bearers, M I have
0144 of him, elsewhere, he 'lived in a rwhispril

'What he heard he' believed, and ailed
aecordingii with deep resentment; Some story
:hatE..heen told hi' respeding the oreSetit Writer,
and, inconsequence Of- it, he resolved renew
-the qitarza. He sent' for the Play, and in a
shOrt time revaned -it, with a .vereitiptoif de_
ciaration, that he recurred to his former judg-
tmntond thought the Tragedy inadmissible. ,
" The Author tookTfire at this second repulse,
and signified to Mr. Garrickohat, being in pos.
session of a positive Proinise, he would not be
trampled upon by. any man• Whatever., , The con-
.seqUence was, a‘proposal to discuss the matter at
an amicable 'meeting, at the house,of
the boakseller., Garrick brought;With.him his
Partner, Mr. Lacy, and Mr. Berenger a Gen-
tleman well known for his taste and polished
manners; The Author went alone ; much_ alter-
cation ensued,: but the result wAs, 'an agreement
to refer the. Play to Mr. William Whitehead,
who happened to be at Bath. A joint letter was
sent to him, requesting him to say, whether the
Manager ought to an the Orphfyr. qf Ckina, and
whether he thought the Public would approve- of
it ? Mr. Whitehead's answer was, that he would
not Meddle with those two points ; but, if his,
saying, whether he himself liked tile Play
disliked it, would end all differences, he. would
be ready to speak his mind. The distressed Or-
phan went to Bath, as. the Author said in his let-
ter, for the 'recovery of his health. 41 les; than
a week, Mr. Whitehead wrote to both parties,
and was pleased to say, that he would go beyond
his commission, and explicitly pronounce, that
he not only -approved of the Play, 'but thought
the Manager ought to ad it, and he. believed the.
Public would like it.
" By this. decision peace was restored, Mr.
Whitehead did' not stop there : as soon as he
came =to town, he was so polite as' to visit' the
Author at his Chambers in Lincoln's-inn, and
signified his intention to be present in the-Green-
. room 'at the reading of the Play. Ile was. as
good as'his word. Garrick read to the Aaors,
.who were, to be employed,
.with that wonderful
power of which he was a complete master; chang-
ing 'his countenance and the tone. of his voice, as..
the sentiment .or passion varied. ,He 'proposed,
as he event. on, a number of alterations: ; Mr.
Whitehead,' with great politeness, over-ruled all
objections ; and, when Garrick' in the fifth at
paused to offer a considerable change, Mr: White-
head answered in terms so elegant, that they have
been •from that time engraved on my mertiOry. His
words were ; Mr. Garlick, there are so many
. heanties in this Play, that for the sake of us,
who may hereafter write for the beg ,
we may have no more.' In' this manner Mr.
Whitehead was the author's patron, and aiter.,.
'wards favoured him with an elegantiprologue.—
I have been drawn into a long, -and I fear,- a
tedious detail, but as.there, has been published a
very imperfed account, I-thought proper to state
the real fads, and wa's glad:cif an opportunity
to pay a tribute' of .gratitude to the memory. of
Mr. Whitehead.
"The Orphan of China, in this 'manner, sur-
mounted-every ()Wade. The Manager_prepare,l
a magnificent set of 'Chinese. scenes,.
.and the
most becoming dresses. The performance stamped
a value on. the Play. Mossop,
.in the.• Young:
Prince, and Holland, in the part of Hamlet, ac-
quired great reputation. .Garrick in Zatnti-wa s
a reverend Mandarin, and, in the various eon-
: filet of the passions, displayed 'such inimitable
powers, that it nray be truly said, he .never ap_
permed in any charader'(if We except King Lear)
with such a brilliant lustre. , • •
11 The part of Meadow fell. to the lot Of Mrs.
Yates, It was at first assigned to Mrs: (libber,
but her state of health. was so precarious, that at,
• the author's rarest, Mrs. Yates studied . the
part during arr entire month with the griatest assi-
duity. Mrs. Cihher at length gave notice-that her
state of health would not allow her .to undertake
so laborious a part. A rehearsal.was: appointed
for. Mrs. dates : her exertions were such,. that
she astonished all the Performers, jnsomuch, that
' Garrick took thc.author aside, and in a. whisper
told him, `This is the best thing -that could
happen ; Mrs. Cibber's acing .would be no
novelty, but Mrs. 'Yates will excite the general
admiration.' It turned out as he foresaw ; and
with such advantages, no: wonder that theTlay
was admired in the representation. •
• if The author is sensible that he has run into too
Much 'prolixity about things chiefly relating to
hitrisehf ; but ,the
.following anecdote will, per
hapS'urake some amends for the digression.. Mr.
Fitzherbert, whose name must always be men..
A • tioned with honour, on the Ady,when the Orphan
of, China .was. to .be presented to. the Public,
. engaged ,a few friends to dine at the Rose cavern,
near Drury-lane PLayhouse. The party consist-
ed-of Mr. IVlelmouth, Delaval,
Berenger, 31r. Hogarth, and the • famous Mr.
Foote. The:author, .Who was in some. alarin,
and 'wished.to mself,- W obl iied.to attend.
In the- middle of dinner, "he -received a letter
from Mrs. Libber, regreiting that her name was
not in the Play-hill, as she foUnd
.herself in great
spirit; but is 'it -was then too late to, make
any alteration, she desired to haie a line, as
soon as the Play was over, and, in thensean-time,
she said, I shall :ofer up my prayers for
your success,' . Foote. read the letter aloud, and
_returned it, sayittg with great gravity, -Mrs.
Gibber is a catholic, •and
.t_heY prey for
the dead: • The company. laughed heartily? :and
the 'author-looked with a foolish face of traiic.
" It Must not be Omitted that Poote, who loved
his friends,_ though he, would
.never lose his
joke; came,at the .end•of the Play to congratulate
with the author ; he ran to embrace but
a gush of tears choaked his utterance, and he sat
down:unable, for a skirt time, to utter a word."
