Pritchard, and Mackh'n; whilst at Covent Garden were Mrs. Gibber, Quin, Ryan, and Bridgewater. Quin was the acknowledged head of the old school. He had in his day played with Wilks and Booth, and since the re- tirement of the latter he had no rival till young Garrick came to push him from his high place in the playgoers* regard. His famous soliloquy in Cato, it was remembered, had been encored ; his Sir John Bute had been pronounced inimit- able; his FalstafT was considered unequalled. Foote re...commended anyone who wanted to witness a character perfectly played to see Mr. Quin in this part, ' and if he does not express a desire to spend an evening with that merry mortal,' said the wit, ' why, I would not spend one with him if he would pay my reckoning.* QUIN AND MACKLIN, 181 Quin's contempt for Garrick and his new fangled ways was openly avowed. ' If he is right,' said the veteran, with an incredulous smile, ' then I and the rest of the players must have been wrong.' He had no fear, therefore, of this young jackanapes, and was ready to test the public favour with him any night.
