BARET'TI (Jofeph), born at Turin about the year 
1716. His father was an architect, from whom he recei¬ 
ved a good education, and at his death inherited fome pro¬ 
perty, which, however, he diflipaled ; he was thus redu¬ 
ced to turn author “ in fpite of his teeth, and (borrowing 
his own language) to keep them going.” He travelled 
much, experienced many difficulties, and at length, with 
little money in his pocket, a flight knowledge of the lan¬ 
guage, and without any recommendation, bent his courfe 
towards England, where he arrived in the year 1750, and 
refided (with a ftiort interval) the remainder of his life. 
Baretti had the good fortune to be introduced to Dr. Sa¬ 
muel Johnfon, and between them a very long intimacy 
took place. From the time of his arrival in England, he 
fubfifted by teaching the Italian language, and by the fale 
of his writings. In 1760 he made a tour to Italy, through 
Portugal and Spain, and returned to England after an ab- 
fence of fix years. In 1769 he embarked for Spain; on 
his return from whence, an event took place which hazard¬ 
ed his life at the time, and probably diminiftied, in future, 
fome of the eftimation in which, until them, he had been 
held among his friends. On the 6th of October, return¬ 
ing from the Orange coffee-houfe,: between fix and feven 
o’clock,. and going liaftily up the Haymarket, he was ac- 
cofted by a woman, who behaving with great indecency, 
he was provoked to give her a blow on the hand (as he de¬ 
clared) accompanied with fome angry words. Thisocca- 
fioned a retort from her, in which feveral opprobrious 
terms were ufed towards him; and three men, who ap¬ 
peared to be connected with the woman, immediately in¬ 
terfering, and endeavouring to pufti him from the pave¬ 
ment, with a view to throw him into a puddle, in order 
to trample on him, he was alarmed for his fafety, and 
ralhly ftruck one of them with a knife. Fie was then pur- 
fued by them all; and, another of them collaring him, he 
again ftruck the aftailant, Evan Morgan, with his knife 
feveral times, and gave him fome wounds of which he- 
died in the Middlefex Hofpital the next day. Mr. Ba¬ 
retti was immediately taken into cuftody, and at the enfu- 
ing feffions tried at the Old Bailey. Fie made a moft ad¬ 
mirable defence ; which, added to the bad reputation of 
his profecutors, imprefled the court much in his favour. 
Fie was acquitted of the murder, and of the manflaugh- 
ter: the verdict was felf-defence. After this unfortunate 
tranfa&ion he again fat down to his (Indies ; and in 1770 
publifhed his travels, for which it is faid he received 500L 
On the eftablifhment of the Royal Academy, he was ap¬ 
pointed foreign fecretary, a poft of more honour than pro¬ 
fit. He was, however, more fuccefsful in the application 
of one of his friends for a penlion during lord North’s ad- 
miniftration : he obtained the fum of 80I. a-year from go¬ 
vernment; which, though infufficient for independence, 
relieved him from the apprehenfions of want. With the 
indolence which fometimes accompanies old age, he be¬ 
came negligent, inattentive to the ftate of his finances, 
fpent the principal of his 500I. and, at the conclufion of 
his life, felt himfelf fcarcely out of the gripe of poverty. 
He died May 5, 1789, without a ftruggle orfigh, the mo¬ 
ment after taking a glafs of wine, preferving his faculties 
to the laft moment.

B AR'GAIN,yi \_bargen, Welfh ; bargaigne, Fr-. ] A con¬ 
tract or agreement concerning the fale of fomething.— ■ 
What is marriage but a very bargain? -wherein is fought 
alliance, or portion, or reputation, with fome delire of if-

con. —The thing bought or fold; a purchafe ; the thing 
purchafed,—He who is at the charge of a tutor at home, 
may give his fon a more genteel carriage, with greater learn¬ 
ing into the bargain, than any at fchool can do. Locke , • 
—Stipulation ; interefted dealing.—There was a difference 
between courtefies received from their mafter and the 
duke; for that the duke’s might have ends of utility and 
bargain, whereas their mafter’s could not. Bacon. —An tin- - 
expeCted reply, tending to obfeenity : 
No maid at court is lefs afham’d, 
Flowe’er for felling bargains fam’d. Swift. 
An event; an upfhot: a lowfenfe. —I am forry for thy mif- ■

“ A bargain is a bargain .” What is done cannot be un¬ 
done. r YhzG<i'cm , a.nsi'a.y,lVasgefcheheniJlgefcheken. The 
French, Ce qui eft fait ejl fait (‘ what is done is done’), as

fpoken to people, who, after having made any agreement 
or promife, are for retracing their word. 
“ A good bargain is a pick-purfe.” French, Boh mar-
