ceived a fev^ere fliock fiom the attack of a dangerous ill- 
nefs. His anxiety, however, to complete the work, en¬ 
gaged hinj to devote his remaining ftrength to tliat ob- 
jetd; but he had fcarcely entered upon the third vo¬ 
lume, before his powers failed, and he was obliged to 
abandon his undertaking. He died in 1725, when about 
fifty-five years of age. The care of finifhing the third 
volume was entrafied to father Maran, who was alfo the 
author of the Preface, the Life of St. BafiJ, and the 
Notes. It was publifhed in 1730. This edition of the 
works of St. Bafil is one of the bell editions of the fa¬ 
thers which have proceeded from the labours of the

GARNI'ER (Robert), an early French poet, born 
in 1545, at La Ferte Bernard in Maine. He was brought 
up to tlie law, and was firfl a counfellor, and then lieu¬ 
tenant-criminal in the prefidency of Mans. In advanced 
years, Henry IV. created him a counfellor in his grand 
council. He died at Mans in 1601. He was attached 
to poetry in his youth, and while Undying at Touloufe 
obtained a prize in the Floral games of that city. Af¬ 
terwards, the perufal of Seneca the tragedian gave him 
a tafte for dramatic compofition, and at his fecond at¬ 
tempt he became the rival in fame of Jodelle, who was 
the father of French tragedy. The pieces of Gamier, 
as well as thofe of his precurfor, w'ere rude and of little 
intrinlic merit ; yet his nine tragedies for a confiderable 
time w'ere the delight of the ftage, and he deferves a 
place among the creators of the French theatre. He 
alfo wrote DHynine dc la Monarchic, and other poems.

prays that the other perfon may be waraetl to plead with 
G A R 
the plaintiff, whether the condition be performed or not; 
in this petition he is faid to pray garnijliment, which may 
be interpreted either a warning of that other, or a fur- 
nifhing the court with all parties to the abfion, whereby 
it may thoroughly determine - the caufe; and until he 
appears and joins, the defendant is as it were out of the 
court. Cromp. Jurif. 211. A writ of feire facias is to go

the plaintiff; and when he comes and thus pleads, it is 
called entcrplcadcr. If the garnifliee be returned feire

plaintiff recovers, he fliall have damages, i Brownl. 147.

patronifed by the duke, and was employed in feveral 
confiderable works, in which he difplayed much excel¬ 
lence both indefign and colouring, and nearly approached 
to the manner of Raphael himfelf. Some of his finefl:
