Note 303 — XXXVIII.—FREEMASONS’ HALL.

F. M. Parsons’ Garrick and His Circle, p. 369. As an example of how false history comes to be written, it is interesting to note that Mrs. Parsons describes the house as “an Inigo Jones house, in which five men known to fame: Hudson, the painter; scritch-scratch Worlidge, the etcher; Hoole, Tasso’s translator, whom Johnson loved; now Sheridan; and after him, Chippendale, the cabinet maker, successively lived.” None of the other individuals mentioned lived in the house occupied by Sheridan.
