GARRICK (DAVID) the most eminent actor ever produced by the English stage, was born at Hereford in 1706. His grandfather was a French refugee on account of the edict of Nantz; and his father, a captain in the army on half pay, usually resided at Lichfield, where he married the daughter of one of the vicars of the cathedral. He was educated at the grammar-school of Lichfield, but was more distinguished for his sprightliness than attachment to literature; and he gave an early proof of his dramatic tendency by inducing his schoolfellows to act the Recruiting Officer, in which he himself took the part of serjeant Kite, being then only twelve years of age. As the circumstances of his father were narrow, he

In 1795 he went to Liverpool, intending to embark for America, but while waiting to take his passage, he commenced lectures, which met with so much approbation, that he relinquished his design of emigrating, and in 1796 he obtained the pro-was sent to Lisbon upon the invitation of fessorship of chemistry at Anderson's Institution, Glasgow.

Dr Garnet was the author of "A Tour through the Highlands and part of the Western Isles of Scotland," 2 vols. 4to; "Outlines of Chemistry," 8vo; and "Zoonomia, or the Laws of Animal Life, in Health and Disease," 4to; which last was a posthumous publication.

His stay at Lisbon was very short, and returning to Lichfield, he was placed under the celebrated Samuel Johnson, who had then undertaken to instruct a few youths in the belles-lettres. A love for the stage had however become firmly rooted in the mind of Garrick, and singular to say, his grave tutor was induced to accompany him in a speculative journey to the metropolis.

After the death of Lacy in 1773, the sole management of the theatre devolved upon Garrick, who continued to fulfil the duties of that office until 1776, when he determined upon his final retreat, and sold his moiety of the theatre for £37,000. The last part which he performed was Don Felix in "The Wonder," for the benefit of the Theatrical Fund, an institution for the relief of decayed actors, the plan of which he perfected.

This circumstance gave rise to a very general but erroneous idea, that she was a natural daughter of the earl's, born before his marriage with the countess; but the dates of the respective events prove the inaccuracy of the supposition.
