from him. His occasional verses are sometimes happy. What Johnson said of his talk is almost true of his verses—“ Garrick's conversation is gay and grotesque. It is a dish of all sorts, but all good things. There is no solid meat in it: there is
a want of sentiment in it."
A curiously complex, interesting, and diversified character is that of Garrick. Fully to bring it before the world might have taxed his own powers of exposition.
