[Mrs. Delany to Mrs. Dewes, 26 January 1752] Last Saturday [25 January] we were invited to the Primate’s to hear music. D. D. [Dr. Delany], Donnellan, and I went a little before 7; it was the Duke of Dorset’s birthday, and the entertainment given in honour of it. [... 81 ...] Our music was chiefly Italian — the Stabat Mater, sung by Guadagni (whom you heard sing in Mr. Handel’s oratorios) and Mrs. Oldmixon; Dubourg the principal violin: it was well performed, and some of the duet parts are very pretty. They had more music after we left them, but we staid till nearly ten, which was a late hour for us. There was a great deal of good company. [...][1] |

[Mrs. Delany to Mrs. Dewes, 18 February 1752] [...] Last Monday we dined at Portico, &c., and went in the evening to the oratorio of Joshua, but found it excessively fatiguing, so hot, so crowded, and so troublesome to get from, that we are resolved to go to no more evening music; and I can’t say it was very well performed.[3] |

[Mrs. Delany to Mrs. Dewes, 22 February 1752] [...] Good company and good conversation I should wish to have my niece introduced into as soon as she can speak and understand, but for all public places till after fifteen (except a play or oratorio) she should not know what they are, and then very rarely, and only with her mother or aunt.

213. (M.) Mary Sheel, was indicted for stealing two guineas, one half guinea, and one ruby stone, the goods of Ruben Adolphus, secretly from his person, March 11. * [*= tried before the Right Honourable Lord Chief Justice Lee] Ruben Adolphus. I was at the oratorio [Samson] in Covent Garden, March 11, the prisoner was near me, besides whom there was none but good company: I felt her hand about my breeches; when she was gone, I put my hand down for my purse, and found it gone, I went down to an orange girl at the door and described the prisoner; she said, the prisoner was then up stairs, I went up and found her, I told her, she had picked my pocket; I desired to have her searched; I left her in custody; I went up stairs to that part of the gallery, where I was informed she had concealed herself; there I found my purse and a little bit of paper by it, which paper I believe to be the paper the ruby stone was wrapt in; I came down again, and asked her what she had done with my money. She said she knew nothing of it. The constable said, he believed she had dropped something under her; I looked down, and there found my ruby stone; she was taken to the round house and searched, of which the woman who searched her will give an account. Q. What money did you loose? Adolphus. I had three half guineas and one guinea in gold in my pocket, in my purse, which were gone, when I felt in my pocket. John Rice. I am constable. I was called to take charge of the prisoner, I had her under the stairs at the door, while the prosecutor went up to look for his purse with the gallery keeper: I saw her fumbling about her pocket, then I imagined she wanted to drop something out of it; he came down, and said, he had found the purse, and bid me take her before the justice. I bid him look under her, saying, I thought she had dropt something, he took the candle and looked, and there he found the ruby stone. (The stone produced and deposed to by the prosecutor.) Joyce Carey. The prisoner was brought to Covent Garden watch[h]ouse, they were going to search her; I desired the men to go away and I would: I did, and found half a guinea conceal’d in her mouth, there were only a shilling and some half-pence in her pocket. Prisoner’s
defence. I am a very honest girl, I came up from out of the country for a service about three weeks before. Acquitted.[13] |

When Mr. Handel first exhibited his Allegro and Penseroso, there were two ingenious Gentlemen who had bought a Book of the Words, and thought to divert themselves by reading it before the Performance began. Zounds (cried one of them) what damn’d Stuff this is!—Damn’d Stuff indeed, replied his Friend. God so! (replied the other, who then first cast his Eyes on the Title-Page) the Words are Milton’s.[19] |

Yesterday Mr. Handel’s Oratorio of the Messiah, at the Foundling Hospital, began at Noon. Between the first and second Acts a Concerto was played, in which Mr. Handel performed on the Organ, as he did all along. Between the second and third Acts he played a Voluntary; and the whole Performance was conducted to the Satisfaction of the Audience who quite filled the Chapel. Id. [=London Daily Advertiser][22] |

Dr. Thomas, Rector of Bletchingly in Surry, and Chaplain in ordinary to his Majesty, before the Governors of he Middlesex Hospital, [4] in Recommendation of that Charity, where were present a very polite and numerous Company of Ladies, when Mr. Handell’s new Te Deum and Coronation Anthem, with Dr. Boyce’s new Anthem, were vocally and instrumentally performed under the Conduct of Dr. Boyce, to whose great Judgment, Care, and Pains it was owing that the Whole was managed with the utmost Perfection; and the Suitableness of the Number of Instruments and Voices to the Church had the best Effect. In the Vocal Part Mr. Beard greatly contributed to the Harmony, and nothing ever gave more Satisfaction. The Collection which was made of, and at the Desire of the Ladies, amounted to 96 l. 5 s. at this late Season of the Year. The Gentlemen then proceeded to the Great Room in Dean-street, to dine with Sir Peter Warren, Knt. and Sir Kenrick Clayton, Knt. two of the Vice Presidents of that Hospital and the Stewards, where were present several Gentlemen of Quality and Distinction, and a very numerous Company of Governors and others.

“A Letter from the COUNTRY to a young LADY in London” […] Another prospect charms the eye and ear, The scenes how fine! how soft the lulling air! There sacred musick holds her tuneful choir, Brown draws the bow, & Handel strikes the lyre: He the nice clue of harmony has found, Handel the genius sure himself of sound. There vocal Stevenson, with liquid lay, Dissolves our sympathetic souls away. Now on the swelling sounds to heav’n we fly, Now with the saint expiring notes we die! Yet, Mira, scenes like these, too quickly cloy, Excess of sweetness will itself destroy. Pleasures deriv’d from sense but short endure, ’Tis reason only makes the blessing sure.[30] |

[Mrs. Delany to Mrs. Dewes, 25 November 1752] [...] Poor Handel! how feelingly must he recollect the “total eclipse:” I hear he has now been couched, and found some benefit from it.[32] |

[Mrs. Delany to Mrs. Dewes, 15 December 1752] [...] Yesterday morning we went to the rehearsal of the “Messiah,” it was very tolerably performed. I was a little afraid of it, as I think the music very affecting, and I found it so — but am glad I went, as I felt great comfort from it, and I had the good fortune to have Mrs. Bernard sit by me, the Primate’s sister, a most worthy sensible woman, of an exalted mind; it adds greatly to the satisfaction of such an entertainment to be seated by those who have the same relish for it we have ourselves. The babblers of my acquaintance were at a distance, indeed I took care to place myself as far from them as I could. Do you remember our snug enjoyment of Theodora? I could not help thinking with great concern of poor Handel, and lamenting his dark and melancholy circumstances; but his mind I hope will still be enlightened for the benefit of all true lovers of harmony.

Mr. Samuel Wilful is introduced to Miss Maria; his Behaviour, Success, &c.
WHEN Mr. Samuel Wilful was informed of Silvius’s good Success in his Behalf, with the lovely Maria; none but such faithful passionate Lovers can conceive his rapturous Transports. His Ears conveyed the sweet Musick to his Brian, in as ravishing Notes as those of Handel’s Touches; his Blood, in quicker Pulses, beat on eager Time, like some Merry-Andrew on a rattling Salt-Box:[35]
[…] as for Poetry I have not seen any thing published lately worthy to be called so, except wat I rote myself, for I rite sumtimes, and have publish’d. I am likewise bekum a grate Kunnisoer in Musik, and can play almost a hole Tune upon the common Flute; I go to Handel’s Oratores, which are wastly admierd by [11] several Persons of Taste, and therefore I applaud um, because won would not be particler you know, but really in my Judgment, and I think I no as much of these Matters as any of um, I am sure I have heard better Musik at a Cuntary fare.[36]
[...] arrived at Vauxhall at seven o’clock. The garden strikes the eye prodigiously, as it is set with many rows of tall trees, kept in excellent order, among which are placed an incredible number of globe lamps, by which it is illuminated; and when they are lighted, the sound of the music ravishing the ear, added to the great resort of company so well dressed, and walking all about, would almost make one [95] believe he was in the Elysian Fields: [...] This is a general place of rendezvous, where intrigues of all sorts are commonly carried on, and pity it is that so enchanting a place is so often made the instrument of so much wickedness. Many women in some sort owe their ruin to it, for, when their spirits are so much elevated by all these charms, they seldom are capable of reflection, and do not consider of the harm till it is too late. [...] As I do not pretend to set up for a reformer of the times, I shall not dwell farther on this subject, [...]
In the middle of the garden are two [96] semicircles which appear like an amphitheatre, in which are placed a great number of small booths, which may contain about six or eight people a-piece, where they commonly refresh themselves with sweetmeats, wine, tea, coffee, or such like. The backs of these boxes, or booths, are adorned with curious paintings, all which are enlightened to the front with globes. They are all numbered, and very just attendance is given by a vast number of waiters kept for that purpose. Near to this is a grand orchestra, where the music plays in fine weather; but this night the concert was held in a magnificent hall neatly furnished. At one side of the orchestra is a noble statue of Handel. The music no sooner began than we entered the hall, where fifty-four musicians performed. Mr. Lowe soon sang, whose character I need not here mention, and after him the inimitable Miss Burchell, whose voice I believe exceeds all in Europe. [... 97 ...] When she was done, the formerly celebrated Miss Stephens performed, before accounted the best singer in Great Britain, but indeed her voice seemed very insipid after that of Miss Burchell.

The Poets chiefly lie at the west end of the Abbey, and have handsome monuments, with inscriptions à propos to the genius of him who is interred. I shall set down a few of ’em as they are placed:—Gay, Rowe, Shakespeare, Shadwell, Milton, Prior, Butler, Ben Jonson, J. Dryden. I stood some time buried in thought and contemplation on viewing the place where these great men lay, who, though [they] had here but a few stones erected to their memories, yet had left behind them immortal monuments, which can reach to the remotest nation; whereas the stately tombs which are set up to a Duke at vast expense lie confined amongst these walls, and can afford no other satisfaction than that of admiring the work of the artist, when perhaps we hardly know the name of him who is therein. But the monument of a genius is everywhere dispersed, and gives us a deep sense of the loss; which, I believe, was the original intent of this kind of building, when they would remember a man who had been of signal service; but the meaning is lost, because [121] every blockhead who has money can have one raised.
[120-21][37]
A PARTY was about this time proposed at the other End of the Room by Lady Revell, at which an Oratorio, performed compleat, was to make Part of the Evening’s Entertainment. Mr. Handell, who was present, was sollicited [sic] to tell them which of his Performances of this kind could be executed with the smallest Number of Hands; but his Answer was, that they could have no Hands at all on the Night they mentioned, for that the whole Band he had been used to employ were engaged for that Evening at one of the Gentleman’s Concerts who was just gone out of the Room. Every body was upon the full Stare at such a Piece of Intelligence, and twenty People at once were expressing their Surprize that they had never heard of any of these Performances; when a Lady, planted among the thickest of them for that Purpose, declared, that she had twice had the Honour of being there, but that she did not wonder the thing was not more talked of, as it was wholly for the Gentleman’s own Entertainment, and he only admitted three or four select Friends.[38]
