T. Newton= to $David Garrick=, 18 Jan.: I was almost angry with you, to see your name last week in the bills for <i>Costar Pearmain</i>r. I am not fond of your acting such parts as <i>Fondlewife</i>r, or even <i>Clodio</i>r, nor should be of the <i>Lying Valet</i>, if it was not of your own writing. You who are equal to the greatest parts, strangely demean yourself in acting any thing that is low and little; and not only I, but really all who admire you and Wish you well, that is all who know you, are grieved and wonder at it. If I was an actor surely I would rather wish to be a $Raphael= than a $Hogarth=; or if I was a poet, I would choose infinitely rather to be a $Milton= than <i>Hudibras</i>.--$Boaden=, <i>Private Correspondence of Garrick</i>, I, 5-6. [<i>Morning Herald</i> 28 June 1787 suggests that $Yates= was $Winifred apShenkin=.]
