the wedding day-Pamela becomes acquainted with the plot against her by a letter, which by mistake is directed to her, but meant for Mrs. Jewkes-Belvile arrives-Pamela protests against the intended marriage-Belvile attempts to ravish her, but is prevented by Williams-in the last act Pamela appears dressed as Belvile's wife Lady Davers and Jack Smatter conclude from her dress that Belvile has taken her into keeping-they treat her accordingly— Belvile enters, and declares himself her husbandColebrand marries Mrs. Jewkes for her money and then leaves her-this C. is founded on the celebrated novel of the same name-it was written by Dance, who acted several years at D. L. under the assumed name of Love-the serious parts of it are very dull, but the comic characters of Jack Smatter, Colebrand and Mrs. Jewkes have considerable merit.

3. Never performed there, Rehearsal. Bayes = Garrick 1st time:-Garrick saw that the generality of performers at this time were mistaken in their style of acting, and in order to display their errors in the most glaring light, when he acted Bayes, he took upon him occasionally to check the performers, who were rehearsing his play and to teach them to deliver their speeches in what he called the true theatrical manner-for this purpose he selected some of the most eminent performers of the day, and by his wonderful powers of mimickry was able to assume

the manner and deportment of each in his turnDelane, who was at the head of his profession, was tall and comely, had a clear and strong voice, but was a mere declaimer; Garrick began with him; he retired to the upper part of the stage, and drawing his left arm across his breast rested his right elbow upon it, raising a finger to his nose, he then came forward in a stately gait, nodding his head as he advanced, and in the exact tone of Delane spoke the famous Simile of the boar and sow-Hale of C. G. was a tall and handsome figure with an extensive and melodious voice, and in the habit of playing the LoversGarrick chose a speech suited to the occasion, and in a soft plaintive accent, without any thing like real feeling, vox et præterea nihil, gave an exact resemblance of Hale in

"How strange a captive am I grown of late," &c.

Ryan had a croaking drawling accent-Garrick gave a true imitation of his manner, by speaking in a tremulous raven tone of voice

"Your bed of love from dangers will I free," &c.

He never attempted to mimick Quin, whom he considered as an excellent performer in characters that suited him-(Murphy)-Murphy had not been informed whether Garrick burlesqued any actor besides those three-Davies adds Bridgewater and Giffard.

Cooke in his Life of Macklin says" when Garrick "first undertook to play Bayes, as an apology for "taking off the other actors, he proposed to Giffard "to let him begin with him; Giffard supposing that "Garrick would just glance at him to countenance

"the mimickry of the rest, consented-but Garrick "hit him off so truly, and made him so completely "ridiculous at Rehearsal, that Giffard in a rage "sent him a challenge, which Garrick accepted;

they met the next morning, when the latter was "wounded in the sword arm--the Rehearsal was "advertised for the ensuing Saturday, but the duel "intervening (which none but the parties and their "seconds knew at that time, and very few ever since) "the play was put off for a fortnight on account of "the sudden indisposition of a principal performer "-at the end of that time, it came out with imita"tions of some of the other actors; but Giffard was "totally omitted"- Cooke relates this anecdote without giving the least intimation from whence he received it—some part of it may be true; some part of it is certainly false, and the whole seems improbable.

Delane was somewhat hurt in the estimation of the town by Garrick's imitation of him-Hale was present one night at Garrick's Bayes, and laughed heartily at his imitations of Delane and Ryan, but when it came to his own turn to be taken off, he was shocked at the mortifying scene, and felt the folly and injustice of approving that ridicule of others, which he could not bear himself. (Davies.)

Some years after this, Garrick at the solicitation of his friends, the remonstrances of the actors, and from full conviction that his own merit required not such an aid as Mimickry, which was but a trifling feather in his cap of fame, for once in his life (as Wil kinson expresses it) did a generous action, and gave up what he no longer wanted.

When Garrick was so much offended with Wilkin
