To the resentment of that order it is supposed he at last fell a sacrifice, his robust constitution and regularity of life seeming to promise him a much longer period than 69 years; for he died in 1774, poisoned, as is supposed, in the sacrament; he himself declaring his suspicions before he died, and all the after symptoms strongly confirming the same.

It is said, that a fit of illness, by which his wife was attacked, led him to the discovery of his theory respecting metallic irritation and animal electricity. The physician having prescribed for his wife soup made of boiled frogs, Galvani prepared them himself; and having accidentally touched a frog after he had skinned it, he observed it in an involuntary motion, which induced him to make some experiments that conducted him to the discovery.

He died in 1812. GARAMONT, Claude, a French engraver and letter founder, was a native of Paris, and began to distinguish himself about 1510. He brought his types to so great a degree of perfection, that he can neither be denied the glory of having surpassed whatever had been done in this way before, nor that of not being excelled by any of his successors in this useful mechanic art. Garamont died in 1561; and all his fine types came into the hands of Fournier the Elder, an eminent letter founder at Paris.

GARDINER, Stephen, bishop of Winchester, and chancellor of England, was born at Bury St. Edmund's, in Suffolk, 1423. His character as a minister is to be drawn from the general histories: he had a large portion of haughtiness, boundless ambition, and deep dissimulation; for he looked on religion as an engine of state, and made use of it as such. He died in 1555. and, Oct. 1741, acted Richard III. for the first time. His acting was attended with the loudest acclamations of applause; and his fame was so quickly propagated through the town, that the more established theatres of Drury Lane and Covent Garden were deserted. These patentees, alarmed at the great deficiency in the receipts of their houses, and at the crowds which constantly filled the theatre of Goodman's Fields, united their efforts to destroy the new-raised seat of theatrical empire; in consequence of which, GARDINER, James, a colonel in the army of Garrick entered into an agreement with Fleet George II., born in Scotland, 1688, was equally wood, patentee of Drury Lane, for 5001. a year. admirable for the virtues of piety and personal The fame of our English Roscius was now so courage, and died bravely fighting against the extended, that an invitation from Ireland, upon rebels at Preston-pans, near Edinburgh, in 1745. very profitable conditions, was sent him to act GARENGEOT,Rene, Jacques, Croissant de, a in Dublin during the months of June, July, French surgeon of great reputation; he wrote and August, 1742; which invitation he accepted. several valuable works, and died in 1759.

GASCOIGNE, Sir William, chief justice of the King's Bench in the reign of Henry IV, was born in 1350. How much he distinguished himself in his high office appears from the several abstracts of his opinions, arguments, distinctions, and decisions which occur in our old books of law reports; but he is said to have distinguished GATES, Horatio, a major general, and a dishimself above his brethren by a most memorable transaction in the latter end of the king's reign. tinguished officer of the American army during A servant of the prince of Wales, afterwards the revolution.

Hereupon Sir William, after some expostulation upon the outrage, indignity, and unwarrantable interruption of the proceedings in that place, directly committed him to the king's bench prison, there to wait his father's pleasure. The prince submitted to his punishment with a calmness no less sudden and surprising than the offence had been which drew it upon him; and the king, being informed of the whole affair, was so far from being displeased with the justice, that he returned thanks to God, "That he had given him both a judge who knew how to administer, and a son who could obey justice." The prince also, who had for some time led a dissolute life, was entirely reformed thereby, and afterwards became with the title of Henry V., that renowned king who conquered France. Sir William died in 1413. GASTON of France, John Baptist, duke of GASTON DE FOIX, duke of Nemours, early GASTRELL, Francis, bishop of Chester, and a controversial writer, born in 1662, died in 1725.
