Excerpt from David Garrick
The chief difficulty of the biographer has been accordingly that of selection. Indebtedness in the compilation of the following monograph to the sources named, and especially to Mr. Percy Fitz gerald, is fully acknowledged. Among those to whom a special debt is due, are Mr. Walter Herries Pollock, who has placed at the compiler's service material accumulated with a view to a work on Garrick which, unfortunately for the lovers of litera ture and the stage, has not been written; and Mr. Sketchley, the erudite and obliging Librarian of the Dyce and Forster Collection at South Kensington. Originally intended to form one of a series of lives of actors, the biography aims only at supplying the leading facts of Garrick's career, and makes no pre tension to furnish full information concerning the scenes and characters amidst which he dwelt or to chronicle the stories that have been invented con cerning him.

Excerpt from David Garrick
Materials for a biography of Garrick overflow. Apart from the mass of letters edited in 1832 by Boaden, in two volumes, under the title of "The Private Correspondence of David Garrick," an immense amount of matter, much of it unedited and unused, is in the Forster Collection at South Kensington. These sources have been laid under contribution. Lives of Garrick have been written by Thomas Davies, the bookseller and actor (London, 2 vols., 1780, reprinted 1780, 1781, 1784, and with notes by Stephen Jones, 1808); by Arthur Murphy, the dramatist (London, 2 vols., 8vo, 1801); by Boaden, prefixed to the correspondence mentioned above; and by Mr. Percy Fitzgerald (London, 2 vols. 8vo, 1868). The last-named life, long out of print, is inaccurate in some details, but is a work of much research and value, to which justice has not been done. What is almost a life is included in Forster's "Life and Times of Oliver Goldsmith" (London, 2 vols., 8vo, 1877, sixth edition). Shorter lives are in existence in the "Dictionary of National Biography" and elsewhere. The literature and the memoirs of the second half of the last century are full of anecdote concerning Garrick or references to him.
