The stir made by his funeral was surprising, but scarcely greater than that produced in Paris a century later, at the interment of Déjazet: the procession was formed by seventy mourning-coaches, twenty-four of which were filled by the _élite_ of English society. Arrived at Westminster Abbey, the corpse was met by the Chapter; the Bishop of Rochester officiated, and the remains of Garrick were interred close to the monument of Shakespeare. There is nothing remarkable in his will, which disposes of his fortune in a spirit of fairness, liberality, and benevolence. It was made the year previous to his death: “I, David Garrick, at this present occupying my house in the Adelphi, do deposit in the hands of Lord Camden, of the Right Hon. Richard Rigby, of John Patterson, and of Albany Wallis, Esquires, my house at Hampton-on-the-Thames, in the county of Middlesex, with the two islands dependent thereon, the temple and the statue of Shakespeare, my house in the Adelphi, with the furniture and pictures contained in the two said houses, to be delivered up to Eva Maria Garrick, my wife, in order that she may enjoy the same during her natural life, and that she may reside there. “I give and bequeath to my said wife all my linen, plate, china, horses, carriages, and wine that may be contained in my cellars in both my houses. “I give her furthermore £1000, payable immediately after my decease, and £5000 payable a year after. “I give and bequeath to my said wife £1500 per annum during the term of her natural life, and as long as she shall reside in either of my before-mentioned houses, and £1000 should she quit England and settle whether in Scotland or Ireland. “I give and bequeath to my nephew, David Garrick, the dwelling-house, farms, garden, and tenements and lands situated at Hampton, save and except that bequeathed to my wife. “I deposit in the hands of my said executors the freehold of Hendon, with my right and patronage over the church of the said freehold, with directions to sell it, and to employ the produce according to my hereinafter-mentioned desires. “I give, after the decease of my wife, the statue of Shakespeare and my collection of old plays to the British Museum. “I give to my nephew, Carrington Garrick, the rest of my library, with the exception of books to the value of £100 in favour of my wife and at her choice. “I give to the institution established for the relief of impoverished actors, the houses I bought along with Drury Lane Theatre. “I give to my brother, George Garrick, £10,000; to my brother Peter, £3000; to my nephew Carrington Garrick, £6000; to my nephew David Garrick, besides the dowry I agreed to pay him on the day of his marriage, the sum of £5000. “I deposit in the hands of my executors the sum of £6000 in favour of my niece Arabella Shaw, wife of Captain Shaw. “I give to my niece, Catherine Garrick, the sum of £6000, to be paid to her on the day on which she shall marry or attain her majority.
