[Aug. 1, 



a very fevcre critic indeed, who was not 

 wther diverted than offended. He was an 

 excellent mimic, but never fuffered that 

 danjjerous and invidious faculty to appear on 

 tlie flage. In private life he was fecial, 

 pleafaric, and good humored, always re«dy 

 to do a kind aciiin, or to engage in any frolic. 

 He had the ufual improvidence of fuch cha- 

 raflers, and in general devoted little ntten- 

 tion to conliderations of health or fortune. 

 Ke had not completed his 47th year. 



{^Further fartkuUrs of the Ke-u. DavidG^r- 

 rcw, ivhofe death is meni^otej at f. 398 of the 

 liijl ■volume. He was brother of William Gar- 

 row, M.D. of Barnet, who ditd in 1 795, and 

 /atlier of Mr. G. the counfdlor, and now 

 MP. fur Gatton in Surrey, aid of Edward 

 G. Elq. of Totteridge, many years in the 

 Baft Indies, and laft year ftcriti of Hertford- 

 ihire; and of two daughters, one of whom, 

 after h-r leturn from India, married Mr. 

 ■Moi-.k, 3 g.;i)tlemjn-farmer r.t Chefhunt, and 

 the other wlio lived fingle with her venerable 

 parent, and whofe death is announced on the 

 preceding page. The lioufe at .Vlonken-Had- 

 hy, when the Rev. IWr.Garrow lived anddie'd, 

 is luppolea to havtfonic relation to the abbey 

 at Walden, to whicri the manor and reftory 

 belong. In fome of the rooms there are 

 fcripture hirtories carved over the chimney, 

 and painted in the windows ; but both thefe 

 ■were of iviiich later date. IVIr. G. kept a 

 fchool for boys, but not lirft at Hadley, or at 

 leaft nut in clu fame houle. When his fon 

 the counfellor repeatedly urged his father to 

 give up the fchool, the old gentleman de- 



clared that he was bent upon finifhing the 

 term of half a century in the empltyment, 

 which he aftually accompliflied. Although 

 he was reckoned a difciplinariau in his fchool, 

 yet the boys loved him, and, wiien arrived 

 at manhood, embraced every opportunity of 

 vifiting their old mafter, who expred'ed a 

 pleafure in the expe£\ation of feeing his form- 

 er fcholars, with the exception of few v/hom 

 he had inftruited. The Isrge chamber in 

 the houfe at Munlien-Hadley, where the 

 greateft number ll-.pt, was, by his orders, 

 always kept in the fame (late, to the day of 

 his death, as when uCed by the boys. His 

 affeftion for his wife, and regret for her 

 death, led him to vifit the room in which Ae 

 died, every day ; but he did not allow that 

 room to be ufed or opened by any of his fa- 

 mily. He felt his own gradual decay ; and 

 the lofs of memory afl'efted him fo much 

 that he avoided fociety, even that of his old 

 neighbours, and, latterly, of his relatives, 

 who were unremitting in their refpedful 

 attentions to the good old man, who, when 

 able to walk out in his village, generally 

 ufed a long ftiik, prefented to him by one of 

 his family, which he called a Madagafcar 

 fpear ; and, as he wore his own hair, turned 

 to filver locks, he reminded thof; who met 

 him of one of the Patiiarclis, as defcribed in 

 Holy Writ, particularly when, to his neigh- 

 bour's adJrefs of fjlutation, he anfwered, 

 with a benevolent as well as cheerful coun- 

 tenance, " God blefs you I" 'I here is a good
