 PREFACE 
 
 Of the Old Garrick Club established in 1831 
 Canon Barham was one of the original members, 
 and for many years served on the Club Com- 
 mittee. The following lines, composed by the 
 author of " The Ingoldsby Legends," and set as 
 a glee by Mr. Hawes, were sung at the opening 
 dinner : — 
 
 On the Establishment of the Garrick Club. 
 
 Let poets of superior parts 
 
 Consign to deathless fame 
 The larceny of the 'Knave of Hearts, 
 
 Who spoiled his Royal Dame. 
 
 Alack ! my timid Muse would quail 
 
 Before such thievish cubs, 
 But plumes a joyous wing to hail 
 
 Thy birth, fair Queen of Clubs I 
 
PREFACE 
 
 The Garrick Club was established, mainly by 
 the exertions of Mr. Frank Mills, with the design 
 of constituting "a society in which actors and 
 men of education and refinement might meet on 
 equal and independent terms." The Club was 
 intended to be an inexpensive one, and conver- 
 sational rather than culinary excellence was the 
 object to be aimed at. By the promoting " easy 
 intercourse between artists and patrons, by 
 raising the tone of criticism, by the collection 
 of a library of reference, especially of scarce 
 and valuable works on costume, and by the 
 exercise of a salutary influence upon authors 
 as well as managers and actors," it was hoped, 
 as was expressed in the song commemorating 
 the origin of the Club, 
 
 " To bring back the drama to glory again ! " 
 
 This little work is faithfully printed from a 
 
 manuscript volume, of which the illustration now 
 vi 
 
PREFACE 
 
 given as a frontispiece will convey an idea of the 
 size and general appearance. 
 
 The MS. is well known to several admirers 
 of " Tom Ingoldsby," and has formed the 
 subject of notices in various journals. Descend- 
 ants of Canon Barham are well aware of the 
 existence of the MS., and had they desired to 
 suppress the little volume as injurious to their 
 father's reputation, would no doubt have kept 
 it in their own possession, or destroyed it. 
 
 They have probably wished that some day 
 it should find its way into print in some 
 manner that should acquit them of indiscretion 
 in regard to it, while affording to a certain 
 number of bibliophiles a literary treat of no 
 common sort. 
 
 Its formal publication in England might pos- 
 sibly be deemed an offence against good taste, 
 although its Author has been deceased for half a 
 
 vii 
 
PREFACE 
 
 century, and hardly a single person referred to 
 by Canon Barham can now be alive. 
 
 Permission has therefore been obtained from 
 the owner of the MS. to reproduce it here, in an 
 edition limited to 240 copies, which it is hoped 
 will suffice to preserve, in public institutions 
 and the libraries of literary men, a curious and 
 valuable record of artistic life in London sixty 
 years ago.

THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 Abbott, William, Esq. 
 
 Of Covent Garden Theatre, a remarkably 
 pleasant and good-humoured man. Married a 
 sister of Mr, Kennets, of Dover, with whom he 
 had some property, but lost the greater part of 
 it in a theatrical speculation as manager of the 
 Dublin Theatre. On his afterwards going to 
 France, I, having met him previously at Lord 
 W. Lennox's, gave him an introductory letter 
 to Galignani, through whom he became manager 
 of the English Company at Paris. He after- 
 wards returned to England and took the Vic- 
 toria Theatre. Failed, and again left England. 
 
 Abbott, George Washington, Esq. 
 Brother to the preceding.

THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 Adolphus, John, Esq., F.S.A., Barrister 
 
 I first became acquainted with Mr. Adolphus 
 at the Literary Fund Club, where he afterwards 
 dined as my visitor and was elected a member 
 on my nomination, but owing to ill-health he 
 withdrew the following year; the same cause 
 prevented his coming much to the Garrick, in 
 the formation of which, however, he took a part, 
 and originated the library, by proposing that 
 every member should be requested to give his 
 duplicate dramatic books. He was a man full 
 of anecdote, but occasionally very rude, which 
 made him, though a very eloquent, also a very 
 unpopular member at the Bar, and unquestion- 
 ably prevented his rising to the highest rank 
 in his profession. He was the author of a 
 continuation of Hume and Smollet, a book of 
 indifferent pretensions. In early life Mr. 
 Adolphus was a leading member of the Eccen- 
 trics, a debating society which met at the 
 Sutherland Arms in May's Buildings. In 1837 
 I again became better acquainted with him in 
 consequence of meeting him at Bentley's, for 
 whom he was engaged to write the life of John 
 Bannister.

THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 Allen, Viscount 
 
 Commonly called " Cantankerous Allen " from 
 a slight twist in his temper, still he was always 
 a well-bred, gentlemanly man. Tom Darby 
 married his sister, from whom he afterwards 
 separated, and there was a family quarrel and 
 lawsuit between him and his noble brother-in- 
 law, but I either never heard or have forgotten 
 the precise points of the case. Mrs. Darby 
 died in 1838. 
 
 Andrews, Biggs, Esq., Barrister 
 
 A remarkably gentlemanly as well as agreeable 
 man, of high caste in his profession. He did 
 not long continue a member, quitting the Club 
 on his marriage in 1834-5. 
 
 Anstruther, Sir Wyndham, Bart. 
 
 A regular scamp. Having spent every shilling 
 he was worth while Captain Anstruther, he was 
 at dinner on bread and cheese with half a pint 
 of porter, at the Brown Bear, a flash house in 
 Bow Street, when he saw in the paper the 
 sudden death of his cousin, the young baronet, 
 
 3 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 who was killed by some accident while a boy at 
 Eton. This event gave him a baronetcy and 
 an entailed estate of several thousands a year, 
 all of which that he could touch he dissipated 
 in less than two years ; and having joined 
 with Tom Duncombe and Horace Cleggatt, &c., 
 in raising ;^40,000 by accommodation bills, 
 received the money and ran away to France 
 with it, leaving his friends subject to all the 
 liabilities. He was afterwards outlawed, and 
 his name struck off the list of the Club by the 
 Committee. His affairs were, I presume, after- 
 wards arranged, as in the summer of 1837 I 
 saw him at Broadstairs and Margate in com- 
 pany with Bertie Ambrose (son of the notorious 
 boxing parson) and Talbot. In his adversity, 
 previous to his accession to the baronetcy, he 
 had been a player on the Margate stage at a 
 salary of sixteen shillings a week. He was a 
 very short time a member of the Club. 
 
 Anglesey, Marquess of, K.G., K.S.P., 
 G.C.B., and G.C.H. 
 
 The celebrated marquis who lost a leg at 
 Waterloo. Esteemed the best cavalry officer 
 
 4 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 in Europe. Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and 
 Colonel of the 7th Hussars. 
 
 Arnold, Samuel James, Esq. 
 
 I first met Mr. Arnold at Hawes's, several 
 years before the institution of the Garrick, 
 where he was a member of the Committee at 
 the same time with myself. I saw him the 
 morning after his theatre was burnt down, by 
 which he lost ^60,000, and never saw a man 
 meet misfortune with so much equanimity. 
 His new theatre, which was raised by sub- 
 scription, completely failed ; and when Os- 
 baldiston took Covent Garden and reduced the 
 prices to V. the boxes, in 1835 Arnold reduced 
 his to 2d., but this did not succeed, while the 
 property was materially depreciated by the 
 measure. He was one of the leading members 
 of the Beef Steak Club, where he was called 
 the Bishop and used to say a mock (but not 
 profane) grace in a large white mitre. The 
 sobriquet by which he was generally known 
 was "Sambo." Latterly he took to drinking 
 spirits and water till he became quite a sot. 
 He was on the Committee from the first, but 
 5 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 resigned that and the Club in 1835, soon after 
 which he went abroad from the deranged state 
 of his affairs, and was living at Boulogne in 
 1837. 
 
 Astley, Sir Jacob, Bart., M.P. 
 
 Was defendant in a crim. con. action and after- 
 wards plaintiff in another against Captain 
 Garth, the supposed son of the Princess Sophia. 
 Lady Astley died in 1835 ^^ ^^^ King's Bench, 
 whither she had accompanied her lover. 
 Captain Garth was proposed as a member in 
 • 1838 by Frank Mills, and seconded by Tyrone 
 Power the actor, the latter having pressed him 
 upon Mills, who told him in my hearing he did 
 not think there were three people in London 
 who would speak to him. His name was 
 afterwards withdrawn, some of the Committee 
 having proposed to draw lots who should put 
 in a white ball. 
 
 Attwood, Thomas, Esq. 
 
 The composer, organist and composer to the 
 King, and organist of St. Paul's Cathedral. 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 He remained a member only the first year, and 
 dying in 1838 was buried on the last day of 
 March in that year, with a choir funeral in 
 St. Paul's Cathedral, aet Tl. Sir G. Smart suc- 
 ceeded him as composer to the Queen, and 
 John Sale as organist. For his situation at 
 St. Paul's there were eleven candidates, among 
 them Adams, George Sale, Sturges, Cooper, 
 Tom Welsh, 
 
 Aylmer, Charles, Esq. 
 
 Held a clerkship under Government at a 
 salary of £ 1 200 or £ 1 300 a year. He withdrew 
 from the Club in consequence of an unpleasant 
 accusation, the truth of which, however, was 
 never established. 
 
 Barham, The Rev. R. H. 
 
 Cest moi. 
 
 Barnard, Sir A. F., Major-General, 
 K.C.B. and K.C.H. 
 
 Colonel of the Rifle Brigade, and one of the 
 most finished gentlemen about the Court of 
 7 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 George IV. and William IV., to the latter of 
 whom he was Clerk-Marshal of the Household. 
 He was one of the most agreeable men I ever 
 knew. Lived, when I first became acquainted 
 with him (which I did through Cannon), in the 
 Albany, afterwards in Wilton Crescent, On the 
 death of William IV., he retired from Court 
 and went to Constantinople. 
 
 Barnewall, Richard Vaughan, Esq. 
 
 A barrister of the Temple. A very pleasant 
 and gentlemanly man, whom I used to meet a 
 good deal at R. Price's. 
 
 Bartley, George, Esq. 
 
 An excellent actor and respectable man, whose 
 situation for many years as stage manager of 
 Covent Garden enabled him to lay by a hand- 
 some independence. He was not, however, 
 very popular with the profession, many of whom 
 thought he played a double part between them 
 and the management. This gave occasion for 
 a joke of Keeley's, who on a person remarking 
 Bartley passing the window, and saying 
 " There goes Georgium, but not Georgium 
 8 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 Sidus," replied, "Yes it is— Georgium Any- 
 side-us." Bartley was originally second waiter 
 at an hotel in Bath, when Neal, who afterwards 
 kept the Plough at Cheltenham, was head 
 waiter. He subsequently married Miss Smith, 
 a very good tragic actress, who in her day was 
 thought the best tragedian after Mrs. Siddons, 
 whom she resembled somewhat in the cast of 
 her features. She was a great friend of Mrs. 
 Roberts, of St. Paul's School, and when I was 
 head boy there, gave me some hints as to 
 speaking my farewell speech. Many years 
 afterwards, in allusion to my performance, she 
 told me that had I gone on the stage I should 
 have made " a very complete villain." Bartley, 
 perhaps from his situation as stage manager, 
 was not a general favourite with the profession : 
 they thought him too time-sei-ving. " There 
 goes Georgium," said one of them one day as 
 he passed the window. " Yes," said another, 
 but not "Georgium Sidus." "Yes," said 
 Keeley, " Georgium Any-sidus." 
 
 Beauchamp, The Earl ot 
 
 Elected a Committee man in 1835. 
 9 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 Beazley, Samuel, Esq. 
 
 The architect ; one of the most good-humoured, 
 Hvely companions in tl:ie world. He was the 
 only bearable punster I ever knew, except 
 Peake. Both his marriages were unfortunate. 
 From his first wife he was separated by a 
 Scotch divorce, though having been married in 
 England some doubts were entertained as to 
 the legality of it. He afterwards ran away 
 with Miss Const, natural daughter of the 
 Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions, who in 
 her turn ran away from him to her father, 
 and procured a divorce on the ground of im- 
 potency. She afterwards ran away again from 
 her father with young Arnold, son to Sam 
 Arnold, before mentioned, and married him. I 
 met her once with Beazley at Hawes's, when 
 I never saw a man more attentive to his wife 
 than he was, but the lady seemed to receive 
 it all most ungraciously. This was about 
 three years before their separation, which 
 took place circiter 1833. Beazley was one 
 of those who went up in the Royal Balloon 
 in 1837. 
 
 10 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 Bedford, George, Esq. 
 
 One of the Vintners' Company, of which he 
 came on the Court just before I was elected 
 Chaplain, and I have reason to believe gave me 
 a vote on that occasion. He was a wealthy 
 man and a solicitor in Bedford Row. His 
 brother, who was a proctor and a parishioner of 
 mine, was carried off by the cholera after a 
 few hours' illness while the Vintner's Company, 
 of which Bedford was then Swan Warden, 
 were on their swan-hopping expedition up the 
 Thames in September 1834, and when poor 
 Mr. Smith, the late Master of the Company, 
 caught the same complaint while with them 
 and died of it. Bedford was a great friend of 
 Beazley's, at whose instance he joined the Club, 
 but retired from it in 1834. 
 
 Beloe, William Rix, Esq. 
 
 Elected on the Committee, 1834. He was the 
 son of the Rev. Mr. Beloe, of the British 
 Museum, and brother to Charles Beloe, Secre- 
 tary to the Alfred. In 1834, while preparing 
 for a day's pheasant shooting at the country

 house of Cartwright the dentist, and drying his 
 gunpowder, an officious servant with a candle 
 ignited it and blew him up, in consequence ot 
 which he was obliged to submit to the amputa- 
 tion of his right arm. 
 
 Bentley, Richard, Esq. 
 
 The publisher, partner and afterwards successor 
 to Colburn, in New Burlington Street. He was 
 an old schoolfellow of mine at St. Paul's School, 
 as well as two of his brothers. In 1834 he 
 retired from the Club, but repenting afterwards 
 I got his name reinstated in 1835. In January 
 1837 he started his Miscellany, with Charles 
 Dickens (B02), the author of the " Pickwick 
 Papers," for his editor, to which I was one of 
 the first contributors under the signature of 
 Tom Ingoldsby. 
 
 Bidwell, Woodward, Esq. 
 
 A gentlemanly, good-humoured man, but ultra 
 Tory in his politics, which he was always 
 talking about. The failure of the house of 
 Alexander, at Calcutta, which ruined so many 
 12 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 deprived him also of a handsome fortune, and 
 he afterwards retired to the Continent to 
 economise, but returned in 1836 and rejoined 
 the Club. 
 
 Blackmore, Robert, Esq. 
 
 Anattorney in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden. 
 I first knew him as a member of the Committee 
 of the Literary Fund. A most respectable and 
 right-thinking, but neither very gentlemanly 
 nor a very pleasant companion. Very fond of 
 playing the orator. He afterwards purchased a 
 situation in the band of Gentlemen Pensioners, 
 and looked in his uniform something between 
 a general officer and a general postman. 
 
 Blood, Michael, Esq. 
 
 A surgeon of Mount Street, Grosvenor Square, 
 and one of the sweetest as well as most scien- 
 tific amateur singers I ever heard ; in ballad 
 singing, especially in the pathetic style, I never 
 heard his equal. He was an Irishman, and early 
 in life was on the point of eloping with Miss 
 Paton, previous to her connection with Lord 
 13 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 William Lennox, but the plan was disconcerted 
 by old Paton stopping the lady on the stairs. 
 Blood afterwards married Miss Dance, niece to 
 Sir Nathaniel Dance, herself an excellent singer 
 and a prima donna at one of the Theatres Royal. 
 He then settled with her at Bath as a surgeon, 
 but failed in his profession then, and coming to 
 town plaj^ed at the Haymarket Theatre the 
 first singing parts under the name of Davis. 
 He did not, however, succeed as an actor, 
 though his person was fine and his face a hand- 
 some one for the stage. In private life he was 
 a very gentlemanly, well-behaved man, and 
 having resumed his original profession, got into 
 a very genteel, if not a very profitable, practice 
 in Audley Street, Grosvenor Square. 
 
 Braham, John, Esq. 
 
 The celebrated singer. He realised a very 
 large fortune, partly by his professional exer- 
 tions, but principally through his Jewish con- 
 nections, the Goldsmiths, who always gave him 
 shares in the loans, &c. In 1834 he bought 
 the Colosseum in the Regent's Park, and in 
 1835 built a theatre adjoining Almack's, of 
 
 H 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 which Beazley was the architect. When Stephen 
 Price was manager of Drury Lane, I more 
 than once met Braham at his house, and once 
 had nearly offended him by a villainous pun. 
 He had drank too much and began boasting of 
 his amorous successes. " I must be candid," 
 said he, " I am always hunting the girls." " No 
 wonder you have so fine a voice, as by j'our 
 own account you are candied horchound per- 
 sonified." 
 
 Bredel, Charles, Esq. 
 
 A wine merchant, or rather wine broker, in the 
 city. 
 
 Broadwood, Henry, Esq. 
 
 A member of the Committee and a man of 
 large fortune. He had in keeping a Miss 
 Sidney, who for two seasons was one of the 
 stars at Vestris's Theatre. He became member 
 for Bridgwater in the last Parliament ot 
 William IV. and the first of Queen Victoria, 
 1837. -^ remarkably good-tempered, gentle- 
 manly man, celebrated for the excellence, 
 15 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 elegance, and taste of all his appointments. 
 He afterwards became a partner with Rams- 
 bottom, the member for Windsor, in an immense 
 brewing concern at Knightsbridge. 
 
 Bulwer, Henry Lytton, Esq., M.P. 
 
 Brother to the author of " Pelham " and 
 " Eugene Aram." 
 
 Burdett, Colonel 
 
 Eldest son of Sir Francis Burdett. He was at 
 Brasenose with me, but quite a freshman when 
 I was about leaving, and I knew little or nothing 
 of him. He went into the iQth Hussars, and 
 was one of the " elegant extracts," as they 
 were called, drafted into different regiments for 
 cutting Colonel Quentin. 
 
 Calcraft, Granby, Esq., M.P. 
 
 A Lieutenant in the Guards, afterwards, I 
 believe, exchanged into the line. He married 
 Miss Love the actress, but it is said was never 
 admitted to the privileges of a husband by his 
 i6 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 wife, who very soon after the wedding eloped 
 with Lord Harborough, by whom she after- 
 wards had two children, and was pensioned off 
 on the noble lord's taking into his protection 
 one of Mrs. Glover's daughters. 
 
 Capel, John, Esq., M.P. 
 
 Sometime M.P. for Queenborough, a stock- 
 broker of great worth as well as fortune. He 
 was on the Court of the Vintners' Company 
 and mainly instrumental in getting me elected 
 their Chaplain. Becoming a widower late in life 
 he married a Miss Putley, the friend of his 
 deceased wife, which occasioned a good deal of 
 Stock Exchange waggery, not all of it of the 
 most delicate description ; some of the epigrams 
 written on the occasion had point enough, but 
 they will not bear recording. 
 
 Carlton, The Hon. R. 
 
 A clergyman, and apparently half crazy. 
 
 Cartwrlght, Samuel, Esq. 
 
 The dentist. He lived in Burlington Street, 
 and was celebrated for giving the best dinners 
 
 17 B 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 in town. I dined with him there in 1837, 
 meeting Captain and Mrs. Newbury, Savoury, 
 Salomons and his wife, and a large party. A 
 very splendid dinner. 
 
 Cattermole, George, Esq. 
 The artist. 
 
 Cleggatt, Horace, Esq. 
 
 Many years the favoured cher ami of Madame 
 Vestris. He retired to the Continent in 1834 
 on account of his embarrassed circumstances 
 and was outlawed. Afterwards married Miss 
 Day, the rich blacking manufacturer's daughter. 
 
 Clarke, Thomas, Esq., F.S.A. 
 
 A member of the Committee, and one of the 
 most eminent solicitors in London. His 
 offices and town house were in Craven Street, 
 his country house at Highgate. A remarkably 
 pleasant, good-tempered, gentlemanly man, and 
 one much esteemed. He was intimate with the 
 Berkeleys, some of whom he introduced into 
 18 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 the Club, being the family solicitor. Quitted 
 the Club in the Spring of 1838, when Lord 
 Tenterden was elected a member of Com- 
 mittee in his room. 
 
 Clint, George, Esq., A.R.A. 
 
 The artist. Some fine paintings of his were 
 purchased by the Club in the Matthews collec- 
 tion and now adorn its walls. 
 
 Collier, John Payne, Esq., F.S.A. 
 
 Librarian to the Duke of Devonshire ; author 
 of a history of the early English stage, and 
 dramatic critic to the Observer and Morning 
 Chronicle newspapers. 
 
 Conyngham, Lord Albert, M.P. 
 
 Second son to the late Marquis of Conyngham, 
 M.P. for Canterbury. He took to the gaming- 
 table, and in 1837 was said to be ;^83,ooo in 
 debt, ;^8ooo of which he had lost to George 
 Payne. 
 
 19 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 Cooke, Thomas, Esq. 
 
 The musical leader and composer, and one of 
 the most facetious of his fraternity. 
 
 Cooke, Grattan 
 
 Son of the above, a good musician and one of 
 the best swimmers in England. 
 
 Cooke, T. P. 
 
 The best performer of sailor's characters since 
 the days of Jack Bannister; in private life a 
 very gentlemanly, modest man. He had in 
 early life served as Lieutenant in the Royal 
 Navy, and has a brother in very respectable 
 practice as a surgeon at Lambeth, 
 
 Coulson, Walter, Esq., Barrister 
 
 A Chancery barrister and intimate friend of 
 Brougham's, who, when Lord Chancellor, em- 
 ployed him in drawing up many of his Bills for 
 Parliament. He was the original editor of the 
 Globe and Traveller, which situation he continued 
 to fill till a change of politics leading the proprie- 
 
 20 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 tors of that journal to take a more radical turn 
 than suited his principles and to abuse his 
 great friend he resigned. His brother, William 
 Coulson, was an eminent surgeon, first of 
 Charterhouse Square, then of Frederick's 
 Place. 
 
 Coventry, Earl of 
 
 Once the notorious Lord Deerhurst. I never 
 saw him in the Club. 
 
 Crole, The Rev. W. 
 
 He left the Club on his marriage in 1838. 
 
 Crombie, Lewis, Esq. 
 
 Of Suffolk Street, attorney, afterwards of 
 Aberdeen, where by the death of his uncle he 
 succeeded to a very large business and im- 
 mense property. He was the son of Dr. 
 Crombie, a celebrated schoolmaster at Green- 
 wich, and before he went to Scotland started 
 several newspapers and publications of different 
 descriptions, among which were the National 
 21 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 Omnibus and The Intelligence, a Sunday paper. 
 Crombie was always an excellent friend of 
 mine, and used to send me whisky and cheese 
 from Scotland. He was also a great friend to 
 the Club, making it a present of his collection 
 of all the theatrical pieces published between 
 1800 and 1835 which, together with others of 
 an earlier date included in the gift, had cost 
 him nearly ^^200. They are kept in a press by 
 themselves. 
 
 Curtis, Sir William, Bart. 
 
 Resigned his situation in the Club because 
 they gave a dinner to their President, Lord 
 Mulgrave, which he absurdly enough chose 
 to consider a political demonstration, whereas 
 if there be any politics at all in it, they tend 
 much more to ultra Toryism than Whiggery. 
 
 Darby, Elde, Esq. 
 
 The brother-in-law of Lord Allen, with whom, 
 however, he was at feud. It was a common 
 remark in the Club that Darby could not be 
 five minutes in the room without talking about 
 22 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 at least as many lords, especially Lords Thanet 
 and Lowther. He was much abused by the 
 Satirisi newspaper and taxed with having been 
 a Government spy receiving douceurs from 
 both parties. Darby was educated at the 
 Charterhouse and was avowedly a man of 
 profligate habits. Thackeray and Frederick 
 White were in the habit of caricaturing him. 
 He had lived long in France and in conversa- 
 tion frequently affected to have forgotten his 
 English. A very mild, well-mannered man. 
 
 Dawkins, John, Esq. 
 
 Major Dawkins, of whom Stephen Price once 
 said he was the only amateur actor he ever 
 saw who was worth a salary, but that ne 
 would have given him thirty shillings a week. 
 
 De Roos, Lord 
 
 A man much liked and very popular, but being 
 convicted of cheating at whist and marking the 
 cards got out of society. Lord Chesterfield

 mark it ? " asked Hook. " No ! " said my Lord 
 fiercely. " Of course not," said Poole, " he did 
 not consider it an honour." 
 
 De Trueba Cosio, Don Telesforo 
 
 An excellent high-spirited fine Old Castilian, 
 the very soul of honour and good-humoured to 
 a fault. He fled from Spain for his political 
 opinions, having seen his father and brothers 
 and sisters butchered before his eyes. He 
 was the author of several plays and novels, all 
 of which succeeded and showed talent. In 
 1834 he returned to Spain and was for a time 
 Secretary to the Cortes, of which he was a 
 member ; but his party, that of Martines de las 
 Rosas, losing their short-lived power, he went 
 to Paris on his way back to England and died 
 there in 1835. 
 
 Dillon, Hon. Arthur 
 
 A good-natured, half crazy Irishman. Spent 
 the winter of 1834 and summer of 1835 in 
 Iceland, of which he used to give a very 
 amusing account on his return.

 Douro, The Marquess of 
 Eldest son of the Duke of Wellington. 
 
 Douglas, Joseph, Esq., Barrister

 gentlemanly man, but fond of his bottle. Used

 songs — after a fashion. 
 
 Drummond, A. Mortimer, Esq. 
 The banker. 
 
 Duncan, James, Esq.

 Street. He became in 1835 a principal share- 
 holder in the Morning Chronicle. A parish- 
 ioner of mine, and with me on the Com- 
 mittee of the Literary Fund.

THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 Duncombe, Thomas S., Esq., M.P. 
 
 Feb. 15, 1833. Mr. Duncombe was behind the 
 scenes at Drury Lane Theatre when Mr. West- 
 macott, the proprietor of the Age, Sunday paper, 
 came up to him and asked him how he did. 
 " I am surprised, sir, that you should think of 
 addressing me when you are abusing me 
 constantly in your paper, and I desire that 
 when you do speak to me you will take off 
 your hat," at the same time he himself removed 
 W.'s hat from his head and threw it on the 
 ground. W. drew off his gloves, on which 
 D. clenched his fists and struck him twice 
 on the face, when the persons present inter- 
 fered and separated the parties. Captain 
 Polhill came up and words passed between 
 him and Duncombe on the impropriety of 
 the theatre being made the scene of his 
 quarrels, and an information was lodged at 
 Bow Street that the parties were about to 
 fight a duel, but a reconciliation took place 
 on Mr. D's apologising handsomely to Captain 
 P. on the ground that the suddenness of Mr. 
 W's appearance before him took him by 
 surprise and made him forget for the moment 
 26 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 where he was. On calling at the Garrick 
 the next morning Duncombe was publicly 
 thanked by Matthews, Planche, and some 
 others for having thrashed his opponent. 
 
 Dunn, William, Esq. 
 Treasurer of Drury Lane Theatre. 
 
 Durrant, John Rowland, Esq. 
 
 A stockbroker on 'Change and one of the 
 kindest and most upright men I ever met with. 
 He rose from a low origin to great wealth, 
 which he made principally by sales of omnium 
 during the war. In early life he was an 
 amateur actor and was always passionately 
 fond of the drama, having a private box of 
 his own at Drury Lane. When the Club 
 decided on purchasing the Matthews Gallery 
 he advanced the money — viz., ;^iooo. 
 
 Duruset, John B., Esq. 
 
 Said to be a natural son of the late Duke 
 of Devonshire, to whom his parents were 
 27 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 gatekeepers. He bore a very strong personal 
 resemblance to the present Duke, who patron- 
 ised him in the outset. A very gentlemanly, 
 well-behaved and modest man and a good 
 musician. 
 
 Ellis, Charles, Esq. 
 
 A half mad attorney, who was constantly drunk 
 and as constantly quarrelsome, though very 
 good-natured during his few intervals of 
 sobriety. He failed in business in 1835.

 Boaden, daughter of Boaden the dramatist. 
 
 Fancourt, Major, M.P. 
 
 A man about town, a great friend of Tom 
 Buncombe's, and like him always in diffi- 
 culties. He got a cheque for ;^40 changed one 
 day at the Club which was dishonoured, and 
 it was above three months before the money 
 was paid. I never saw him in the Club

 Fladgate, Francis, Esq., Barrister 
 
 One of the most polished gentlemen and good- 
 natured persons I ever met. His father, an 
 attorney in Essex Street, left him nearly 
 ;^6o,000, much of which, however, his hospitable 
 and generous disposition, which made him the 
 dupe of designing men, occasioned him to lose. 
 He lived at Brompton, and was one of the most 
 popular members of the Club and a Committee 
 man. 
 
 Foster, John 
 
 A low scribbler, without an atom of talent and 
 totally unused to the society of gentlemen. He 
 narrowly escaped expulsion, from publishing 
 an account of a dinner at the Garrick in a 
 newspaper to which he was a reporter. The 
 Committee wrote him a letter on the occasion 
 expressive of their disgust, which would have 
 caused any other man to retire. About a year 
 after he got beastly drunk at the anniversary 
 Club dinner, and was sick in Sergeant 
 Talfourd's pocket. Tom Duncombe got drunk 
 at the same time, but behaved so differently 
 30 
 
THE GARRICK CLUB 
 
 that Poole obsen'ed one was tlie real gentleman 
 drunk, the other the " spevvrious " gentleman 
 drunk. He became subsequently a sort of 
 toady to Sergeant Talfourd and Macrcady, and 
 wrote the theatrical criticisms in the Examiner. 
 Poole gave an admirable caricature of him in

 Magazine, 1837.
