The Life of David Garrick, Vol. 1 of 2
Author: Percy Fitzgerald
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781331567585
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of David Garrick, Vol. 1 of 2: From Original Family Papers, and Numerous Published and Unpublished Sources I have now been induced to attempt what has been thus so Often attempted before - led to the task by the real fascination of the subject, and being in possession of special advantages, in materials which may atone for many shortcomings in the execution. The bulk of Garrick's private papers - a vast collection of letters that passed between him and the leading men of his time, are in the possession of my friend, Mr. John Forster. They are of the highest interest, not only for the life of Garrick, but bear on every subject of his time. They fill some thirty volumes, and comprise those curious early letters of the boy David to his father Captain Garrick at Gibraltar, of which Mr. Forster has given some specimens, in his enlarged Life of Goldsmith.' These have been, in the kindest way, placed at my disposal, and the reader will see how much the following Memoir has been enriched by such valuable materials. At the same time the collection and the details are so numerous that I could do little more than select what seemed most striking, leaving behind a vast mass of what seemed equally attractive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
