Substance of Mr. Garrick's Will.
I, David Garrick, of the Adelphi, do give and devise unto
Lord Camden, the right Hon. Richard Rigby, John Paterson,
Esq; and Albany Wallis, Esq; my dwelling house at Hampton,
&c. together with the two islands or aytes on the river
Thames, and the statue of Shakespear; . . . [bequeaths to
his wife and nephew] I bequeath the statue of Shakespear
(after my wife's death) and all my collection of old English
plays, to the British Museum. I give the rest of my books
(except such as my wife shall choose, to the value of 100l.)
unto my nephew Carrington Garrick. I give the houses in
Drury-Lane, which I bought of the fund for decayed actors of
the theatre there, back again to the fund. . . [signed]
David Garrick, (L. S.)
