Excerpt from Whistle-Binkie: A Collection of Songs for the Social Circle John Donald Garrick was a native of Glasgow, and was born in April, 1787. His mother is reported to have been a woman of superior powers of mind, and in particular, to have possessed a fund of humour, with great acuteness of observation, qualities for which her son John was very re markable.
