 Amidst the numerous distinctions which confer extensive and 
 permanent glory upon a Monarch, the encouragement of Literature and 
 the advancement of Science will always prove the most illustrious. The. 
 present Volume is indeed a very simple monument in itself, but it exhi- 
 bits a record which cannot find a parallel in the annals of any other 
 nation ancient or modern. And yet even this collection of literary me- 
 moirs is no more than a slight sketch of the exalted triumph which 
 Human Knowledge has gained in this country during the life of your 
 Royal Highness, and under the auspicious protection of your august 
 Father. If in that long and eventful period, the world has been dis- 
 tracted by wars and convulsed by revolutions, it is, satisfactory to reflect 
 that the utmost boundaries and remotest regions of the earth have been 
 explored by British eriterprize, and derived improvement from British 
 genius. Such is the beneficial effect of our regulated freedom and the 
 blessing of our constitution, that where our arms have been felt, the 
 influence of our laws has commanded respect, and our scientific 
 superiority has excited emulation. Thus have Morals and Letters con-

 secrated what Victory has achieved and Commerce extended ; and thus 
 it is that the intellectual energy of the National Character reflects lustre 
 upon the Government from whose liberality it derives strength, and 
 from whose wisdom it acquires continual opportunities of calling into 
 active employment individual merit for the general good. 
 
 That your Royal Highness may have the satisfaction of seeing your 
 firmness in the public councils productive of a lasting peace ; and the 
 effects of your attention to the interests of Literature and the Arts 
 spreading universally for the glory of these realms and the happiness of 
 mankind, is the earnest prayer of 
 
 Your Royal Highness's 
 
 most dutiful

PREFACE. 
 
 -IN o person who has had any acquaintance with books can be insensible to the 
 difficulties which obstruct the inquirer in his search after information con- 
 cerning the lives and productions of those who have enlarged the sphere of 
 science, or who have contributed to the stock of rational amusement. Even of 
 such as have attained the highest degree of reputation, we have frequently to la- 
 ment the want of correct and minute intelligence, the knowledge of which 
 would increase our admiration and improvement, by enabling us to form a more 
 exact estimate of their moral and literary character than can be drawn from 
 the meagre memorials which have been handed down to us by their contem- 
 poraries. Few are the names recorded in the history of literature, of whom it 
 can be said that biography is exhausted ; for of numbers whose works yield 
 instruction and entertainment, not the least record can be found. Modern in- 
 dustry indeed has been usefully employed in rescuing forgotten merit from total 
 oblivion, and in restoring to their proper owners valuable pieces, which either 
 ignorance or want of taste had cast aside amidst the lumberof the schools and 
 the extravagancies of fanaticism. Still much remains to stimulate the diligent 
 to fresh exertions ; for such has been the carelessness of the two preceding 
 centuries, with respect to their brightest ornaments, that no one who shall de- 
 vote a portion of his time to the task of illustrating their personal history, 
 or of ascertaining the number and description of their, writings, will labor in 
 vain. But at least the negligence of which we complain affords a lesson of 
 caution with regard to existing genius, that those who come after us may not 
 have reason to bring against us a similar accusation. 
 
 The advanced state of knowledge, with the consequent multiplication of 
 books on all subjects, and the facility that is given to every species of inquiry, 
 may truly be said to constitute the triumph of literature ; but, like every other 
 honorable triumph, it brings in its train as many duties as trophies, that 
 what has been laboriously acquired may become permanently beneficial. 
 In proportion, therefore, as science is extended and the love of it increases, 
 it is necessary to provide helps for those who want immediate information on 
 the pursuits and merits of the numerous candidates for literary fame. With 
 
VI PBEPACE. 
 
 this view was formed the project of publishing a yearly report exclusively 
 devoted to the actual state of Literature and the Arts ; comprehending a 
 separate Dictionary of Authors, another of the Professors of Painting, 
 Engraving, Sculpture, &c. ; and one of Musical Composers. It was also 
 intended to have followed these leading departments with a statistical 
 account of learned establishments and scientific institutions, in various parts 
 of the British empire ; notices of inventions and discoveries ; and in short to 
 have concentrated, in a moderate compass, an exact register of all matters 
 connected with the progress of human knowledge. But however useful such 
 a design appeared, and much as something of the kind is wanting, it was at 
 length found that the compass proposed would not admit of satisfactory 
 detail ; and therefore it^ became expedient to make some alteration in the plan 
 by detaching the Biographical' divisions, and forming them into separate pub- 
 lications. The Dictionary of Living Authors is accordingly now offered to 
 the Literary World, in a much more substantial form than it could have pos- 
 sibly been if confined to the limits it was originally intended to occupy. It 
 will occur to the intelligent reader that the idea" of such a work is 
 not new, for there have been at least three attempts made towards a collec- 
 tion of this description in our own country, and'within our remembrance ; 
 but what is singular' and worthy of observation, the scheme approximating 
 the nearest to that which now waits the public approbation, was one projected 
 by an enlightened foreigner, and published at Berlin in 1791, with this title : 
 " Das Gelehrte England oder Lexicon der Jeztlebenden Schriftsteller in Gros- 
 britannif n, Irland, und Nord-Amerika nebst einem Verzeichenis ihrer Schriffen, 
 V. Jahr 1770 bis 1790- Von Jeremias David Reuss, ordintlichen Professor 
 der Philosophic und Unter Bibliothekar bey der Universitaets — Bibliothek zu 
 Gottingen. 2 vols. 8vo." This "Alphabetical Register of all the Authors 
 living in Great Britain, &c. with a- catalogue of their publications ;" met With 
 so favorable a reception as to induce Professor Reuss, in 1 804, to publish a 
 Supplement to it in two volumes. It is surely not a little extraordinary that 
 the plan of so useful a catalogue as this should never have occurred to any 
 of our enterprizing countrymen ; but it is still more unaccountable that the 
 biographical lists of Living Authors which have appeared among us should 
 fall far short of the German work in extent and accuracy of information. 
 The la,st, it is true, consists of a mere index of names, and a register of pub- 
 lications without memoir or observation ; but the best of the English compila- 
 tions passes over without notice many writers of the first order, and gives a 
 very slender and imperfect account of others. The essential articles of dates, 
 anecdotes, professions arid pursuits, are slighted for splenetic remarks and 
 idle criticism. Forgetful that a Dictionary of this class is principally valua- 
 ble as a book of reference, and that' as such it cannot be too copious in its 
 facts, and simple in the narration ; 'these compilers have related nothing where 
 the subject required detail,' while they have been prolix where they ought to 
 have been silent. 
 
 With such errors and deficiencies in the collections of those who have 
 preceded them in this course, the editors of the present volume have been 
 careful to give as complete a catalogue of existing authors, accompanied by 
 brief but accurate sketches of their memoirs, and a correct list of their publica- 
 tions, as could be obtained. It must be evident, upon the most hasty and 
 superficial observation, that such a body of information could not possibly 
 be collected and systematized without great labour and assistance. Much 
 
PREFACE. iiV 
 
 of what was necessary to be concentrated lay scattered in various directions; 
 and it frequently happened that after a long and fatiguing search the object 
 of inquiry was numbered with the dead. 
 
 Perfection is not in the pursuits of literature, any more than in the practice' 
 of morals ; and it would be preposterous to look for an Unerring guide" hi 
 what depends upon human testimony. The Editors are aware that after' all 
 their efforts and caution, inquiry and diligence, many omissions «iay be 
 detected ; and that several mistakes have been committed, which they rely 
 upon the liberal to excuse and the intelligent to 'rectify. In the pro- 
 gress of the work through the press, some lapses have been discovered^ 
 the correction of which has occasioned a Supplementary Alphabet, where 
 many important additions will be found concerning living authors, and brief 
 notices of others who have no longer a title to that distinction. But as it is' of 
 importance to the general reader that the register of existing writers should 
 be accompanied by one of departed genius,' it is intended to publish, at rid 
 distant day, A DICTIONARY OF DECEASED AUTHORS OF GREAT 
 BRITAIN, corresponding in plan and arrangement with the present. 
 
 It may also be proper here to observe that the proposed " Dictionary of 
 living Artists, as Painters, Engravers, Sculptors and Architects/' which- wais 
 to have occupied a leading department in the Literary Calendar, will, for the 
 same reasons as those which have led to an expansion of this volume, be pub- 
 lished in a separate state. The materials for that work have already accu- 
 mulated beyond what could have been well expected, and as no delay will re- 
 tard the appearance of the volume beyond what may be requisite to render it 
 accurate and complete, timely communications for that purpose are respect- 
 fully solicited on the behalf of our publisher. 
 
 There yet remains another division of the original plan which it is expe- 
 dient to mention in this place, for the gratification of those persons who have 
 been pleased to indulge an expectation of a variety of information respecting 
 
 Eersons celebrated for their genius and talents. It was certainly intended to 
 ave given in alphabetical order Memoirs of the Musical Composers of the 
 present day, with an arranged account of their published performances ; but 
 the necessity of such a work as that in the form of a Dictionary has been 
 wholly superseded by the appearance of two volumes under the appropriate 
 title of " Musical Biography ;" upon which the approbation of the scientific 
 world and the public at large has .been already stamped, in the demand for 
 a second edition. 
 
 Thus the deviation from the original plan leaves ample room for the exe- 
 cution of a periodical work, devoted to the sole object of Literary Inform- 
 ation, while at the same time it provides distinct books of reference by which 
 even the utility of such a Miscellany will be considerably increased. 
 
 But to return to the immediate object of the Register which is now submit- 
 ted to the friends of literature. Independent of the general advantages resulting 
 from the intelligence conveyed with respect to those persons who have emi- 
 nently distinguished themselves in the world of letters ; and which cannot 
 but b*e serviceable to future biographers; it will be seen that the very listof 
 publications given under each article, arranged according to the order of time 
 in which they appeared, and the editions they have gone through, 'must'be 
 of incalculable benefit to Authors, Booksellers, and the Public. The 
 literary industry of the former is here exhibited in a conspicuous point of view, 
 
Vlll PREFACE.

 and Many of those pieces which perhaps are regarded by the writer with parental 
 affection as among his best efforts, but which by. some means or other have 
 been neglected, will stand a chance of attracting the attention of those who* 
 are best qualified tO" appreciate their merit. This ofcoursemustbein the same 
 degree beneficial to publishers by bringing to light and promoting the sale of 
 performances which, notwithstanding their intrinsic value, are now fast sinking 
 to, or are absolutely buried in oblivion. To the studious and inquisitive also 
 these separate catalogues will be peculiarly acceptable by enabling him to 
 discover without any difficulty what has been printed on particular subjects 
 by persons of whose talents as writers he has formed a high opinion. 
 
 It remains only to observe by way of explanation, that a few foreign names 
 
 have' obtained admission into this Dictionary on the ground that, as some of 
 
 ' their works originally appeared in this country, or have been republished 
 
 here, which is, particularly the case with American productions, they may be 
 
 considered as legally naturalized. 
 
 While thus the Editors subrnit their labours to the favourable judgment of 
 the friends of Literature, with a confidence that the volume will be of some 
 use as a Directory in giving ready information to those persons who wish- for 
 some intelligence concerning the present race of Authors and their works, they 
 beg leave to solicit indulgence for unavoidable errors, and the communication 
 of corrections and additions directed, free of expense, to their publisher.

 Trustee of the Brit. Mus., F.A.S. 
 F.R.S. Edin. M.R.I.A. and Member of 
 the National Institute of France, and 
 of mpst of the learned Societies in Europe 
 and America. This gentleman was edu- 
 cated at Eton and Oxford. On leaving 
 the University in 1703 he visited the 
 coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, 
 for the purpose of making researches in 
 Natural History. In 1768 he accom- 
 panied Captain Cook in his first voyage 
 round the world, and contributed the 
 botanical observations to the account of 
 the expedition, afterwards published. 
 In 1772 he visited Iceland, in order to 
 explore its natural productions. Sir 
 Joseph was elected President of the Royal 
 Society, on the resignation of Sir John 
 Pringle, in 1778, and notwithstanding the 
 violent opposition raised against him a 
 few years afterwards by some of the 
 members, has ever since continued at 
 its head. His Library and collections in 
 Natural History cannot, perhaps, be 
 equalled; and the Sunday Evening 
 Conversazioni, held at his house, are the 
 resort of professors and friends of the 
 Sciences. There are various Papers by 
 Sir Joseph in periodical publications, and 
 in the volumes of different Societies. The 
 only distinct work that he seems to have 
 given to the world, is a pamphlet en- 
 titled,

 Berkeley, (Maey,) Countess Dow- 
 ager of. This Lady, whose case has re- 
 cently occupied so large a portion of 
 public attention, was one of the daughters 
 pf William Cole, a butcher, of Wootton, 
 near Gloucester, who died in 1783, in 
 such low circumstances, that his children 
 were obliged to go out to service. She had 
 previously attracted the notice of the late 
 Earl of Berkeley, whose family mansion 
 is in the neighbourhood of her native 
 place; and a marriage is asserted to have 
 taken place between them in 1785. Their 
 first child was born in 1786, and was 
 always styled and treated as heir appa- 
 rent to the Earldom. Another marriage 
 
 took place at Lambeth, in 1796, but for 
 above a year afterwards, the Lady still 
 went by the name of Miss Tudor, which 
 she had assumed at the commencement 
 of her connection with his Lordship; so 
 that it was not till 1797, that she was 
 acknowledged as his wife. The Earl 
 died in 1810, leaving several children. 
 On this event the claim of the family 
 honours by the eldest son became 
 the subject of parliamentary investiga- 
 tion ; the alleged marriage in 1785, was 
 not admitted, and the first-born son after 
 the second union, was declared the legi- 
 timate successor to the title. After this 
 decision of the House of Lords, the Count- 
 ess published a statement for the purpose 
 of vindicating her character, and pro- 
 ducing additional testimony in behalf of 
 the legitimacy of her eldest son. It is 
 entitled :

 Church, Oxford. He was appointed 
 Bampton Lecturer in 1811, and while in 
 the pulpit delivering the third of his dis- 
 courses, he was seteed with severe indis- 
 position which terminated in total blind- 
 ness. He is now not only without pre- 
 ferment, but has been obliged by this 
 misfortune to resign the curacy of Stone'- 
 house, from which the principal part of 
 his incomewas derived, and the measure 
 of his afflictions has been filled up by a 
 recent attack of paralysis. A statement 
 of his case was made public in June 1813, 
 and a new edition of his Bampton Lec- 
 tures announced,' in order to produce a 
 fund for his future support. He has,

 In 1809, Mr. B. launched still farther into 
 the tempestuous ocean of politics, and 
 commenced a Sunday paper under the 
 title of the Political K easier, in avowed 
 opposition to that of Cobbett, but was 
 mined by the speculation. He long 
 had in his possession a copy of The Bonk, 
 as if was emphatically denominated, and 
 announced ,his intention of publishing its 
 contents in his paper, but was prevented 
 by an injunction from the Lord Chancel-

 Lieutenant, he was appointed to the 
 command of his Majesty's ship Bounty, 
 fitted out for the purpose of conveying 
 young plants of the bread-fruit-tree from 
 Otaheite to the West Indies. The ship 
 arrived without accident at Otaheite, ana 
 had sailed away laden with plants when 
 a mutiny broke out, headed by Fletcher 
 
1814, Bxt 
 
 Christian, the master's mate. " Captain 
 Bligh, with such of the officers and sea- 
 men as would not join the malcontents, 
 to the number of eighteen, was forced 
 into an open boat, without arms, and a 
 very scanty stock of provisions. After 
 suffering incredible hardships, the six- 
 teen survivors at length reached Batavia. 
 The Captain on his return to England 
 published an account of these transac- 
 tions. In 1805, he was appointed go- 
 vernor of New South Wales. The co- 
 lony was then in great distress, to alle- 
 viate which he found it necessary to en- 
 force regulations that excited great dis- 
 content in many individuals. In Jan. 
 1808, he was deposed by the military, 
 headed by Lieut. Col. Johnston, who, 
 however, was brought to trial on the ar- 
 rival of the parties in England in 1811, 
 and sentenced to be cashiered. Admiral 
 B.'s publications are :

 Edwards, of Coventry, and at Univ. Coll.

 and lectures in London, he went to Edin- 
 burgh to complete his professional edu- 
 cation. In 1781, he was elected physi- 
 cian to the county hospital, at Northamp- 
 ton, and afterwards removed to Leicester, 
 where he 'was chosen physician lo the ge- 
 neral infirmary. This office he resigned 
 in 1793, on account of an asthma with 
 which he was attacked ; and in prosecu- 
 tion of a plan which he conceived likely 
 to prove beneficial in that disease, he 
 took a- captain's commission in the Lei- 
 cestershire militia, and joined that regi- 
 ment in 1794. From this change he re- 
 ceived such benefit that he determined 
 the following year to return to the exercise 
 of his profession, and settled at Birming- 
 ham, as physician to the general hospital 
 in that town. Dr. B. has published the

 Brooke, IS. M. D. of Bath. This 
 gentleman left England in 1785 to make 
 an investigation by authority, of the com-

 the invasion of the former country by the 
 French, he was obliged to leave it with 
 the loss of considerable property. Since 
 the publication of the letters which he 
 wrote on that occasion, Dr. B. has been 
 afflicted with blindness. Before he left 
 this country, he presented to the Chan- 
 cellor of the Exchequer a plan for the 
 improvement of our foreign commerce, 
 which, during his absence, was carried 
 into a law, and produced an important 
 accession to the revenue. In his publi- 
 cation, Dr. B. has expressed a' hope, that 
 his service might experience some reward, 
 at a time when it would be peculiarly 
 acceptable. His work is entitled:

 Broome, Ralph, Esq. formerly aCapt.

 Frontier station, during a former war. 
 This writer, who has shewn great ability 
 and ingenuity, warmly espoused the 
 cause of Mr. Hastings in his publications, 
 which are as follow : , 
 
 Elucidation of the Articles of Impenchment against '' 
 Warren Hastings. Esq. 8vo. 1790.— An Examination 
 of the Expediency of continuing the present Im- 
 peachment, 8vo. 1791. — The Letters of Siiakin the

 Brothers, Richard, a native of Pla- 
 centia, Newfoundland, formerly a Lieu- 
 tenant in the Navy. This crack-brained 
 fanatic, about twenty years ago, excited 
 a considerable share of public attention. 
 In his first publication, he declared him- 
 self to be the nephew of ' the Almighty, 
 and the Prince of the Hebrews, who was 
 to restore the Jews to their ancient pri- 
 vileges, and to lead them to the land of 
 Canaan. . lie also predicted the destruc- 
 tion of the city of London by an earth- 
 quake, and many other absurdities. 
 Extravagant as were these pretensions, 
 there were not wanting persons distin- 
 guished for abilities, who openly asserted 
 the divinity of his mission. Among these 
 the most conspicuous was Naihaniel 
 Brassey Halhed, Esq. a Member of Par- 
 liament, and a gentleman eminent for 
 his extensive attainments in classical, 
 and particularly in oriental literature. 
 Several pamphlets were published on the 
 subject, and such was the infatuation of 
 a few deluded persons, that they sold all 
 they possessed, in order to be ready to 
 accompany the prophet to the Holy Land. 
 This mad enthusiast was at length 
 properly noticed by government, and 
 confined as a lunatic. His publications 
 are : — 
 
 A Revealed Knowledge of the Prophecies and 
 Times, Book I. wrote under the direction of the Lord 
 God, and published by bis sacred command; con- 
 taining with other great and remankable things, not 
 revealed to any o^her person on earth, the Restora- 
 tion of the Hebrews to Jerusalem, by. the year 1798, 
 under the revealed Prince and Prophet, 8vo. 1794.—*

 Bordett, Sir Francis, Bart. M. P. for 
 Westminster, was educated at Westmin- 
 ster School, and for a time assumed his 
 mother's name of Jones on succeeding to 
 certain estates which devolved in the fe- 
 male line. In 1793, he married Sophia, 
 youngest daughter of Thomas Coutts, 
 Esq. an eminent banker, and in If 97 
 succeeded his grandfather in his title and 
 estate. In 1796 he commenced his par- 
 liamentary career as representative for 
 Boroughbridge ; in 1802 he was returned 
 after an extraordinary contest for Middle- 
 sex, and since 1807 has been one of the 
 members for Westminster. Sir Francis 
 has been a steady opponent of adminis- 
 tration, and has uniformly vindicated the 
 cause of those who have suffered from 
 what he conceived an undue stretch of 
 prerogative or power. With this feeling 
 he penned the Address mentioned below, 
 which occasioned his confinement in the 
 Tower by a vote of the House of Com- 
 mons — a measure which produced an ex- 
 traordinary ferment in the metropolis. 
 Many of his speeches in parliament have 
 been printed, but the only production of 
 his pen that has been given to the public 
 is:

 ham, Hants, where he was born about 
 1755. He was educated at Winchester 
 School, and at Corpus Christi Coll. Ox- 
 ford, of which he became Fellow and 
 Tutor. An early display of extraordi- 
 nary literary abilities introduced him to 
 the notice of the Bishop of Durham, who 
 gave him a prebend, first in the cathedral 
 of Salisbury, (over which see he then pre- 
 sided), and afterwards at Durham. Here 
 he continued till the administration of 
 Mr. Addington, who had been his co- 
 temporary at Winchester and Oxford, 
 and who unsolicited conferred on him, in 
 1802, the vacant see of St. David's. 
 With the most exemplary attention to 
 the concerns of his diocese, his lordship 
 has planned and formed a society for the 
 foundation of a provincial college within 
 it for the education of ministers for the 
 Welch church, who have not the means 
 of an university education. In 1796, Dr.

 Burney, Charles, Mus. D. F. R. S. 
 Member of the National Institute at 
 Paris, and Organist of Chelsea Hospital, 
 born at Shrewsbury in 1726, educated 
 
 partly at the Free School of that town 
 and partly at Chester. In 1741, he re- 
 turned to Shrewsbury and studied music 
 under his half brother, Mr. James B. till 
 in 1744 he was sent to London and 
 placed for three years under the tuition 
 of Dr. Arne. He was afterwards for nine 
 years organist at Lynn, Norfolk, and in 
 1760 returned to London, where, from 
 the zeal of his friends, and the astonish- 
 ing performances of his eldest daughter, 
 then only eight years old, he entered 
 upon his profession with great reputa- 
 tion and profit. The university of Ox- 
 ford conferred on him the degree of Dr. 
 of Music in 1769; and the following year 
 he set put on his travels through France 
 and Italy, with'aview to collect materials 
 for a history of music which he had pro- 
 jected; after which he made another 
 tour for a similar purpose through the 
 Netherlands, Germany, and Holland. 
 Dr. B. has been twice married, and had 
 eight children, several of whom have ex- 
 hibited public proofs of very superior ta- 
 lents. He has published : 
 
 The Cunning Man, op. from Rousseau's Dcvin du 
 Village, and adapted to his music, 8tfo. 1766. — Essay 
 toward a History of Comets, 1769. — The present

 two succeeding articles, was born at 
 Marnham, Nottinghamshire, 1743. He 
 was educated under Mr. Clark of Wake- 
 field, and Dr. Langhorne, till he was 
 sent in 1760 to University College, Ox- 
 ford. In 1762 he was elected a Demy 
 of Magdalen Coll. and in 176 1 a Fellow 
 of that society. In 1779 he was pre- 
 sented to the rectory which he still holds, 
 and in 1785, went to reside at Doncaster, 
 where his extraordinary mechanical 
 talents first discovered themselves in va- 
 rious inventions, particularly of a loom 
 worked by machinery, and a machine for 
 combing wool, for which as well as for an 
 improvement in the steam engine he ob- 
 tained a patent. In 1796 lie removed 
 to the metropolis, and on the death of 
 Mr. Moore offered himself as Secretary 
 to the Stic, of Arts, but voluntarily with- 
 drew in favor of a competitor, whose 
 practical knowledge in the nianuiaeturing 
 line promised to be highly serviceable to 
 the society. In 1801 he was invited 
 by the late Duke of Bedford to superin- 
 tend, his very extensive (arming concerns 
 at Woburn, and likewise a kind, of agri- 
 cultural college which that enlightened 
 nobleman designed to establish ; but this 
 project was suddealy frustrated by the 
 death of the Duke. In 1807 his inven- 
 tion fbr weaving by machinery was be- 
 ginning to be generally adopted, but as 
 his patent right had expired several years 
 before, it was then too late for him to reap 
 any benefit from the circumstance : how- 
 ever, someofthe principal merchants and 
 manufacturers of Manchester and its vici- 
 nity addressed a memorial to the Lords of 
 the Treasury, setting forth the benefits 
 which Dr. C. had conferred on his coun- 
 try, and praying a remuneration of his 
 eminent services. The result was a pro- 
 posal from Mr. Perceval, then Chancel- 
 lor of the Exchequer, to parliament to 
 grant Dr. C. 10,000/. which' was unani- 
 mously agreed, to. Dr. C. married first in 
 1778, Alice, daughter of Richard Wbita- 
 ker, Esq. of Doncaster, who died in 1785 ; 
 and secondly, in 1790, Susannah, young- 
 est daughter of the Rev. Dr. John Kear-

 followingyear embarked for the East In- 
 dies, whence he returned in 1757 as en- 
 sign in the 39th regt. Being promoted 
 to a lieutenantcy, he attended the Mar- 
 quis of Granby. to Germany as aid-de- 
 camp. , Through the, interest- of his pa- 
 tron he afterwards obtained a company in 
 the 37th regt. of foot, which he joined at 
 Minorca, but was obliged by ill health to 
 return to England. The, Guernsey, of 
 which his brother John was lieutenant, 
 was then lying at Spithead under sailing 
 orders (or Newfoundlind, and he obtain- 
 ed permission to make a voyage in her 
 for the recovery of his health. This gave 
 rise to his subsequent voyage to the 
 coast of Labrador, which was afterwards 
 five times repeated, and led to a long re- 
 sidence in that inhospitable country.

 Cartwright, John, Esq. brother of

 of Cherbourg, and shared in the glorious 
 victory gained in. 1759 by Sir Edward 
 Hawke. He attained the rank of lieu- 
 tenant, but quitted the navy about 1770, 
 and then entered the militia of his native 
 county, of which- he became major in 
 1775. On account of his political prin- 
 ciples his right of succession to the va- 
 cant lieutenant-colonelcy of this regi- 
 ment was on five successive occasions set 
 aside by the Duke of Newcastle, then- 
 lord lieutenant of the county, and he was 
 at length finally dismissed in 1792. It is 
 a singular fact that about 40 years after , 
 this gentle/nan's retirement from the 
 navy as a lieutenant, his promotion 
 to the rank of master and commander 
 was announced in the Gazette. In 1780 
 Mr. C. married the eldest daughter of 
 Samuel Dashwood, Esq. of Well, in Lin- 
 colnshire ; and in 1788, having disposed 
 of his estate in Nottinghamshire, he pur- 
 chased another in the county of Lincoln, 
 of which the township and manor of 
 Brothertoft form the principal part. Here 
 he soon afterwards fixed njs residence,

 complishment of parliamentary reform.

 County of Down. His lordship, the eld- 
 est son of the Earl of Londonderry, by 
 his first wife, a sister of the Marquis of 
 Hertford, was born in 1769, and educated 
 at Armagh under Archdeacon Hurrock, 
 till, in 1786, he went to St. John's Col- 
 lege,, Cambridge. When scarcely of age, 
 he obtained a seat in the Irish parlia- 
 ment for the county of Down, after a 
 contest which lasted three months, at an 
 expense to the sitting member of 25,000/. 
 When Lord Camden, whose sister was 
 his step-mother, became viceroy of Ire- 
 land, he acted as his chief secretary, and 
 continued to hold the same office under 
 his successor. After the union, in the 
 accomplishment of which his lordship 
 took a very active part, he was re- 
 turned to the imperial parliament. He 
 was nominated a privy counsellor and 
 President of the Board of Control. This 
 office he retained during the administra- 
 tion of Mr. Addington, and when Mr. 
 Pitt resumed the direction of affairs, Lord 
 C. became minister at war. On the 
 death of Pitt, his lordship with his col- 
 leagues retired from office; but on the 
 accession of Perceval to power, he re- 
 gained his former post. His misunder- 
 standing and duel with Mr. Canning, 
 already adverted to, (see Cannikg,) ccca*- 
 sioned tbe resignation of the latter, and 
 the removal ot his lordship to the de- 
 partment for fdreign affairs, In 1794 
 Lord C. married Amelia, youngest sister 
 of the present Earl of Buckinghamshire. 
 Several of his speeches have been pub- 
 lished, but whether by his authority is 
 doubtful.

 , to enforce in the behalf of its own and

 by the statutes for the security of copy- 
 right are directed to be deposited previ- 
 ously to publication at Stationers' Hall.

 derable reputation by their publications. 
 He was educated at Jesus Coll. Cam- 
 bridge, fook the degree of B. A. 1790 ; 
 M.A. 1796 ; and became senior fellow of 
 tliat society. Previously "to the com-

 tour through Denmark, Norway, Swe- 
 den, Lapland, Finland, Russia, Tartary, 
 Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, 
 Greece, and Turkey, and returned from 
 Constantinople, in 1302, through Hun- 
 gary, Germany, and France. In the 
 course of his travels he collected a mag- 
 nificent cabinet of minerals, together with 
 a valuable assortment of manuscripts 
 and ancient marbles, the latter of which, 
 including the famous Eleusihian Ceres, 
 he deposited in the Public Library at 
 Cambridge. He was also an agent in 
 obtaining for this country the celebrated 
 Alexandrian sarcophagus, and the trilin- 
 guar inscription, known by the name of 
 " the Rosetta Stone." Not long after his 
 return to England, Dr. C. married An-

 ragement of that science, and he was ap- 
 pointed to the chair. His publications are :

 Clarke, Mrs. Mary Anne, daughter 
 of a Mr. Farquhar, who was corrector of 
 the press at Hamilton's printing office in 
 London, where, or in its vicinity, she was 
 born about 1775. At fifteen she married 
 Mr. Joseph Clarke, son of a builder on 
 Snow Hill, by whom she had several 
 children, but has long been separated 
 from him. Her connexion with the 
 Duke Of York, frorn 1803 to 1806, is 
 notorious, from the parliamentary inves- 
 tigation in 1809, which led to the, tem- 
 porary retirement of his Royal Highness 
 from the chief command of the Army. 
 After this investigation Mrs. C an- 
 nounced her intention of giving to the 
 world a narrative of circumstances re- 
 lating to that connexion, which was 
 actually printed, but suppressed by the 
 author, on consideration of her receiving 
 i0,000l. in ready money, and an annuity 
 of 6001. The whole edition of 10,000 
 copies was accordingly committed to the 
 flames, with the exception of one copy, 
 which was deposited in Drummond's 
 banking-house. A misunderstanding, 
 which afterwards arose between her and 
 Colonel Wardle, occasioned the publica- 
 tion of the first of the following worfes ; 
 and on account of the, second, which is 
 most severe, she is at present under pro- 
 secutipn for a libel.

 for the Library to the P. Regent, educated

 quaintance of the celebrated Dean 
 Tucker. He soon afterwards went to 
 the continent, and devoted himself for 
 some time at the University of Gottin- 
 gen, to statistical and diplomatic studies. 
 Having, while abroad, attentively wit- 
 nessed the commencement and progress 
 of the "French revolution, D,t. C. on his 
 return to England, assiduously employed ' 
 his pen in warning his countrymen to 
 beware of its principles, and afterwards 
 Warmly advocated the necessity of ari 
 union with Ireland. With him also ori- 
 ginated the, plan of a Naval Asylum for 
 the orphans and children of seamen.and 
 marines, which was instituted in 1801, 
 and to which he is auditor. This office, 
 however, has caused him to be deprived 
 of benefices worth 12001. per amu on ac-

 Cobbett, William, son of a farmer, 
 born at or near Farnham, Surrey, 1760, 
 and bred to his father's occupation, till 
 in 1783, he privately quitted his home 
 and repaired to London. Here after 
 being employed a few months in the 
 office of an attorney in Gray's Inn, he 
 went in 1784 to Chatham and enlisted 
 into a marching regiment, which he 
 joined the year following in Nova Scotia. 
 In 1791 it was relieved and sent home, 
 and Mr. C. having in a service of near 
 eight years attained the rank of serjeant- 
 major, obtained his discharge. In 1792 
 lie visited France, whence he embarked 
 for the purpose of settling in America. 
 In that country he endeavoured to sup- 
 port himself by his literary exertions, 
 which were devoted' almost exclusively 
 to political topics, and he also opened a 
 bookseller's shop in Philadelphia. His 
 publications ushered into the world under 
 the name of Peter Porcupine, were cal- 
 culated to counteract the ascendancy of 
 the French interest in tire United States, 
 and the freedom of some of his observa- 
 tions subjected l)im to prosecutions for 
 libels. In 1801 he returned to England, 
 and commenced a daily newspaper under 
 the title of the Porcupine; this under- 
 taking failed, and Jhe Degan his Weekly 
 Register, which is slill continued- The 
 success of the latter, notwithstanding the 
 notorious political tergiversation and oc- 
 casional coarseness Of the author, has 
 raised Mr. C. to affluence, and enabled 
 
 him to purchase a valuable estate at-Bot- 
 ley, in Hampshire, where he resides. 
 For an article in this paper- he was pro- 
 secuted by way of information by the 
 Attorney General. The trial took place 
 in June, 1810, when he was found guilty 
 and sentenced to be imprisoned in New- 
 gate for two years, and to pay a fine of 
 ^lOOO. In some .observations on this 
 event he says : " I have been laboring 
 seventeen years since I quitted the army. 
 I have never known what it was to enjoy 
 any of that which the world calls plea- 
 sure. From a beginning with nothing, 
 I have acquired the means of making 
 some provision for a family of six child- 
 ren (the remains of thirteen), besides 
 having for several years maintained 
 almost wholly, three times as many 
 children of my relations." His publica- 
 tions relative to America need not be 
 particularized, as they have been reprint- 
 ed in London under the title of— Porcu- 
 pine's Works on the United State? from 
 1793 to 1801, 12 v. 8vo. 1802. His

 Coke, Thomas William, Esq. M.P. 
 for the County of Norfolk. The pater- 
 nal name of this gentleman, who lit re- 
 spect to landed property is one of the 
 most powerful commoners in the king-

 Mr. C. first obtained a seat in parliament 
 in 1776,; he was again elected in 1780,

 the books quoted by Dr. Johnson, and. from olhers of 
 the best authority in our own and former times." 
 The subscription was to be twelve guineas, half to be 
 paid on subscribing, and half on the delivery 'of the 
 third vrjlume ; but the design was dropped for want 
 of a sufficient number of subscribers to indemnify the 
 author for the expenses of the proposed publication.

 ried, in July 1793, to Alexander D'Ar- 
 blay, a French emigrant, with whom she 
 some years since repaired to the Conti- 
 nent, but is recently returned to Eng- 
 land. As a writer of fictions, this lady Is 
 allowed to surpass all her contempo- 
 raries, Such was the reputation which 
 she obtained by her earliest perfor- 
 mances, that for the last she obtained a 
 subscription of 3000 guineas. They also 
 procured her the particular notice of 
 royalty; and, for some time previous to 
 her marriage, she was one of the keepers 
 of the robes to her majesty — a situation 
 which ill health obliged her to resign. 
 She has written : 
 
 Evelina, or a Young Lady's Entrance into the World,

 tended his fame as a chemist over the

 at the Royal Institution. In October

 Virtues and Vices of Mankind ; with oc- 
 casional discourse's. Being a compilation 
 from the best sentiments of the polite 
 writers and eminent sound Divines, both 
 ancient and modern, on theisame sub- 
 jects, properly connected, with improve- 
 ments; particularly adapted for the use 
 of chiefs of families and students in divi- 
 nity, for churches, and for' the benefit of 
 mankind in general, 26 v. 8vo. 1795-1307. 
 The history of this voluminous work 
 affords an example of perseverance that 
 can scarcely be paralleled in the annals 
 of literature, though so fertile in curiosi- 
 ties. Mr. I), having completed his col- 
 lection, at first issued proposals for pub- 
 lishing it by subscription:; but as he was 
 poor and^fer obvious reasons, his theolo- 
 gical labours obtained nq patronage, he 
 resolved to print it himself, that is, with 
 his own hands. With a press, which he 
 made for himself, and as many worn and 
 cast-off types, purchased from a country 
 printing-office, as sufficed to set up two 
 pages, he fell to work in'1795. Perform- 
 ing, with the assistance of his female do- 
 mestic, every operation, and working off 
 page by page, he struck oft' forty copies 
 of the first three hundred pages ; 26 of 
 which he distributed among the Univer- 
 sities, the Bishops, the Royal Society and 
 the Reviews, hoping no doubt to receive 
 from some of those quarters, that encou T 
 ragemient to which he thought himself 
 entitled. Disappointed in this expecta- 
 tion, he resolved to spare himself the ex- 
 pence of paper in future ; and as he had 
 reserved only fourteen copies of the forty 
 •with which he commenced, three of which 
 he mentions as being imperfect, he con- 
 tinued to print that nunrbe§„a.tt i d at the 
 end of twelve years of unrgrBrUting toil, 
 finished the whole 26 voluraes.;i!Disd3in- 
 ing any assistance, he then put them 
 in boards with his own hands, and made 
 a journey to London for the express pur- 
 pose of depositing a copy in each of the 
 most eminent public libraries pf the Me- 
 tropolis.

 been not a little indebted) in the charac- 
 ters of Beauty and the Beast. This pro- 
 cedure was resented by the Rev. Mr.

 pieces the obnoxious painting. An action 
 for damages was, in consequence, brought 
 by the artist, who was, however, non-

 Dudley, Rev. Sir Henry Bate, Bart. 
 LL. D. Chancellor and Prebendary of 
 Ferns, Ireland, Rector of Willingham, 
 Suffolk, and Proprietor of the Morning 
 Herald newspaper. This gentleman, the 
 second of the twelve children of the late 
 Rev. Mr. Bate of Worcester, was edu- 
 cated at Queen's College, Oxford ; and at 
 an early age obtained the living of North 
 Farnbiidge, Essex, and the Curacy of 
 Lethcrhead, Surrey. About 1775 he be- 
 came concerned in the Morning Post 
 newspaper, which he afterwards quitted, 
 and was the original founder of, the 
 Morning Herald, which commenced in 
 1780. In 1781 he purchased the advow- 
 son of the living of Bradwell jtixta Mare, 
 in which parish he expended nearly 
 80,0001. in improvements, and obtained 
 the gold medal of the Society of Arts, 
 for embanking and gaining a consider- 
 able quantity of land from the sea. On 
 the death of the incumbent, he ap-i 
 plied to the bishop to be inducted to the 
 living ; a long controversy ensued ; legal 
 interference was resorted to, and at 
 length the patron waived his right to the 
 presentation in favor of .his brother-in- 
 law. Iu 1805 he was preferred to the 
 valuable appointment of Chancellor of 
 Ferns, with the rectory of Kilcoran an- 
 nexed, and in 1812 created a baronet. 
 He took the name of Dudley, in com- 
 pliance with the will of a friend, who 
 left him an estate; and about 1780 mar- 
 ried Miss White. Notwithstanding his 
 cloth, Sir H. was in early life engaged in 
 several duels, particularly with Mr. 
 Bowes, the husband of the Countess of 
 Strathmore, G. R. Fitzgerald, and M. De 
 Morande, a confidential friend of the 
 Chevalier D'Eon. His publications are :

 Dundas, General Sir David, K. B. 
 Colonel of the 1st regt. of dragoons, and 
 of the 95th foot, and Governor of Chel- 
 sea Hospital. This eminent military 
 character, descended from the family of 
 Dundas, of Dundas, which claims the 
 rank of chief of that name, was born 
 about 1737 at Edinburgh. His father 
 was a merchant of that city; and by his 
 mother he was cousin to the late Viscount 
 Melville. At the age of eighteen he 
 commenced his professional career un- 
 der his uncle, General David Watson, 
 
 then Quarter-Master General. In 1756 
 he obtained a Lieutenantoy in the Engi- 
 neers, and in 1759 was promoted to a 
 troop in the regiment of dragoons raised 
 by Col. Elliott, afterwards Lord Heath- 
 field, to whom he acted as aid-de-camp 
 in Germany, in the West Indies at 
 the reduction of the Havannah, and till 
 1770, when he was advanced to the Ma- 
 jority of the 15th dragoons. He was 
 successively appointed Quarter-Master 
 General and Adjutant General in Ire- 
 land; Colonel, 1781; Major-General, 
 1790. In 1793 he commanded a body of 
 troops at Toulon, served in Flanders with 
 great distinction in the campaigns of 
 1794 and 5, was appointed Quarter- 
 Master General of the British army in 
 1797, and accompanied the expedition to 
 Holland in 1799. In 1803 he relin- 
 quished the Quarter-Master Generalship, 
 and in 1809, on the resignation of the 
 Duke of York, succeeded to the chief 
 command of the British army, which he 
 held till the reinstatement of his royal 
 .highness. Sir David occupies a place 
 here as author of 
 
 The Principles of Military Movements, chiefly ap- 
 plied to Infantry, 4to. 1788. His Majesty, to whom 
 this work was dedicated, having been pleased to ap- 
 prove of it, directed it to be arranged and adapted 
 for the use of the army in 1792. It was accordingly 
 printed under the title of " Rules and Regulations 
 for the Formations, Field-Exercise, and Movements of 
 his Majesty's Forces," with an injunction that this 
 system should be strictly followed and adhered to, 
 without any deviation whatsoever. The Rules and 
 Regulations for the Cavalry were also planned by 
 General D. so that in this respect the army has been 
 more indebted to him than to any other officer since 
 the days of General Bland, who published the 
 first regular system of tactics in our language. 
 
 DUNDONALD (ARCHIBALD CoCIlRANE), 
 
 Earl of, a nobleman eminently distin- 
 guished by a love of scientific pursuits, 
 and speculations which have impaired 
 his private fortune, while they have con- 
 tributed to enrich others, and to increase 
 the resources of the country. He was 
 born about 1744, and entered into the 
 naval, service, which he relinquished 
 with the rank of lieutenant, and in 1778 
 succeeded to the family honors, by the 
 demise of his father. His lordship has 
 obtained several patents : 1. for extract- 
 ing tar from coal, originally designed to 
 pay ships' bottoms, to secure them from 
 worms ; but, since the general adoption 
 of copper sheathing, this tar has been 
 used only as a cheap but efficacious co- 
 vering for out>houses, sheds, fences, &c. 
 2. for a method of preparing a substitute 
 for gum-senegal and other gums; 3. for

 as materially to aid the operation of the 
 hackles in the division of the fibre. 
 These,*and the subjoined list of his pub- 
 lications, shew the subjects to which his 
 attention has been principally devoted. 
 In 1774 his lordship married Anne, 
 daughter of Captain Gilchrist, of the' 
 royal navy, by whom he had five sons, 
 two of whom are post captains in the 
 navy, and two are in the army. In 1784 
 he lost his first wife, and in 1788 mar- 
 ried Mrs. Mayne, a widow lady, by 
 whom he has no issue. He is the au-

 pnsKiNE(THOMAsE&SKiNE),Lorcl,third 
 and youngest son of the late, and brother 
 of the present Earl of Buchan. He was 
 born about 17S0, and educated partly at 
 the High School, Edinburgh, and partly 
 at the University of St. Andrew's. He 
 originally embraced the naval, which he 
 quitted for the military profession, but 
 left that also young ; and, after residing 
 for a short time at Cambridge, went to 
 Lincoln's Inn, and qualified nimself for 
 the bar, to .which he was called in 1773. 
 Here he immediately became distin- 
 guished for his oratory at the trial- of 
 Admiral Keppel, and rose to that com- 
 manding station which he ever after- 
 wards retained during his continuance at 
 the bar. In 1783 he was appointed 
 King's Counsel, and Attorney-Gene- 
 ral to the Prince of Wales, from 
 which last situatidn however, he was 
 removed for reftising to give up a pro- 
 fessional retainer on the trial of Thomas 
 Paine. To this office he was restored in 
 1802, and invested with that of Chan- 
 cellor to his Royal Highness, and Keeper 
 of the Seals for the Duchy of Cornwall. 
 In 1804 he accepted the command of 
 the corps of volunteers formed under the 
 name of the Law Association, and in 
 1806 elevated to the peerage, and in- 
 vested with the important functions of 
 Lord High Chancellor, and Speaker of 
 the House of Lords, which he resigned 
 on the change of administration in the 
 following year. In i770 he married 
 Frances, daughter of Daniel Moore, Esq. 
 who died in 1805, and by whom he had 
 issue, four sons, and four daughters. The 
 eldest of- the former was lately Envoy 
 Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- 
 tiary to the United States of America, 
 and M.P. for Portsmouth, which Lord E. 
 himself represented from 1783 to 1806. 
 It is said that many fugitive pieces of 
 poetry, the production of Lord E.'s pen, 
 are in circulation among his friends; 
 and that while in the army, he wrote 
 on the subject of an increase of its pay. 
 Five volumes of his speeches, when at 
 the bar, have lately been collected and 
 published by Rjdgway ; but, though un- 
 questionably authentic, they can scarcely 
 be considered as a work of wfaieh his 
 lordship may fee termed the author, as 
 they were not written by him, but de- 
 livered without having been previously 
 composed. His only avowed publication 
 is a pamphlet, which had an unprece- 
 dented sale, no fewer than forty-eight 
 editions of it having been printed within 
 
 a few months after its publication. It is 
 entitled :

 Fennell,' James, a native- of Wales, 
 designed for the bar, from which he was 
 seduced by an unconquerable predilec- 
 tion for the stage., Tn 1787 he went to 
 Edinburgh, wheie bis success under the 
 assumed name of Cambray, was such as 
 to induce him to repair to London ; but 
 as his talents did not excite in the metro- 
 polis that admiration which he expected, 
 he returned to Edinburgh. From that 
 stage, however, he was soqq driven by a 
 party in the most arbitrary manner, as 
 relate!' in the first of his publications. 
 He had an engagement at Covent Gar- 
 den in 1789, but being unable to renew 
 it the following year, he commenced a 
 periodical publication entitled the Tkect- 
 trical Guardian, professedly with a view 
 to redress all theatrical grievances;, but 
 it was soon dropped, and the author is 
 supposed to. have since emigrated to 
 America. He has written :

 iffor the city of Dublin, son of a recorder

 obtained a seat in the Irish Parliament, 
 through the influence of the late Earl of 
 Charlemont, where he acquired such po- 
 pularity by his exertions in behalf of the 
 independence of Ireland, that the sum of 
 50,000/. was voted to him for his ser- 
 vices. He afterwards became the stre- 
 nuous advocate of the claims of his Ca- 
 tholic countrymen to an equality of 
 rights with their Protestant fellow sub- 
 jects; but in 1797 retired in disgust from 
 the senate; in which, however, he again 
 procured a seat for the express purpose 
 of opposing the Union with Great Bri- 
 tain. In 1805 he was chosen to repre-

 His father, who was comptroller of the

 him to a boat-builder at that place. He 
 afterwards embraced a seafaring life, 
 was for six years in the royal navy, dur- 
 ing the American war, and in 1788 was 
 shipwrecked on the French coast. In 
 1789 a committee of the ship-owners of 
 S. Shields offered premiums for plans of 
 a boat best calculated to save shipwreck- 
 ed persons, and the preference was given 
 to one proposed by Mr. G. whose inven- 
 tion, under the name of the Life Boat, 
 has been introduced in many places on

 Halloran, Lawrence Hynes, D. D- 
 This gentleman who appears to be a na- 
 tive of Ireland, was formerly master of 
 Alphinton Academy near Exeter. He 
 was afterwards a Chaplain in the Navy, 
 and was in that capacity oh board Lord 
 Nelson's flag-ship the Britannia at the 
 ever-memorable battle off Trafalgar, and 
 has since held the appointments of Rec- 
 tor of the Public Grammar School at the 
 Cape of Good Hope, and Chaplain to the 
 Forces in South Africa. The last but 
 one in the list of Dr. H.'s publications 
 states the circumstances which obliged 
 him to leave the Cape. It appears that 
 he interfered very warmly on occasion of 
 a duel which took place between two 
 officers about the beginning of 1810, and 
 when the affair was brought before a 
 court-martial, wrote the defence of the 
 accused parties. His conduct was highly 
 jdisapproved by the Hon. Gen. Grey, who 
 
 HAM 143 
 
 ordered his removal to an outpost called 
 Simon's Town. The Doctor not chuslng 
 to quit an establishment which he had 
 formed at the Cape, resigned his office of 
 Chaplain and gave vent to his anger in 
 two acrimonious poems, for which a suit 
 was commenced against him and he was 
 sentenced to be banished from the colo- 
 ny and to pay costs.

 Hastikgs, Warren, Esq. of Dayles- 
 ford-HOuse, near Chipping Norton, Ox- 
 fordshire, son of the Rev. Mr. H. rector 
 of Churchill, near Daylesfo'rd, born about 
 1732. His father having left him unpro- 
 
 vided for, he was sent to Westminster 
 School by his uncle, whose executor, Mr. 
 Creswick, an E. India Director, procured 
 for him a'writership in India, whither 
 he proceeded in 1749. In 1756 he was 
 one of the English prisoners carried off 
 to Moorshedabad, by order of the nabob 
 of Bengal, Surejah Dowla, oh whose de- 
 position he was appointed minister at 
 the court of his successor. In 1761 he 
 became a member of the government of 
 Bengal and about 1765, returned to Eng- 
 land : and it is a singular fact, that on 
 the failure of the remittances of part of 
 his acquisitions, he had not interest to 
 obtain at fifst his're-apppintment to an 
 official situation in Bengal; His exami- 
 nation at the bar of the H. of Com. dur T 
 ing. an inquiry into t'Be' affairs of the 
 Company, led to his nomination, in 1767, 
 as a. member of the council .of Madras; 
 and in 1771 he was elevated to the go* 
 vernment of Bengal^ over which he pre- 
 sided till his return to England, in 1785. 
 Animpeachment was instituted against 
 him in' the ensuing session of Parlia- 
 ment, for mal-administration ; his trial 
 commenced in 1788, and seven years 
 afterwards he was acquitted of all the 
 charges preferred against him. His law 
 expenses on this occasion exceeded 
 £0,0002. ; in consideration of which, and 
 his public services, the. E. Ind. Company 
 vpted; him an annual pension of 4000/: 
 for twenty-eight years and a half. Since 
 that period Mr. H. <has lived in retire* 
 ment; from which he was recently called 
 to give evidence, at. the bar of the H. of 
 Com. on the application of the E. India 
 Comp. for a renewal of the. Charter. 
 The term of his pensibn having expired 
 in 1813, the same sum has by a recent 
 vote, been secured to him for lite. — 
 Some elegant pieces, of fugitive poetry 
 from his pen have occasionally found 
 their way before the; public, and he is 
 the author of: . . :

 while in these situations were devoted 
 with extraordinary assiduity to the study 
 of the languages and the mathematical 
 sciences. Astronomy also engaged his 
 attention and at length ahsorbef all the 
 time that he could spare from his pro- 
 fession. His observations were made 
 with instruments of his own making, and 
 his discoveries entitle him to the foremost 
 rank among the astronomers of the pre- 
 sent day. In 1781 he discovered a new 
 planet in our system to which he gave 
 the name of Georgium Sidus, and the 
 same year communicated an account of 
 it to the Royal Society which unani- 
 mously elected him a member and con- 
 ferred on him the gold medal. The year 
 following his Majesty appointed him his 
 astronomer with a 1 handsome salary, and 
 a house at Slough near Windsor where he 
 has" ever since resided. Here he was 
 enabled to accomplish various plans for 
 the improvement of his favorite science ; 
 his grand forty fee^ reflecting telescope 
 in particular is a noble monument of 
 philosophical zeal and princely munifi- 
 cence. It was completed in 1789* and 
 an ample account of it may be seen in the 
 Phil. Trans, for 1795. To that work Dr. 
 H. has ever since his first communication 
 been a regular contributor. In his scien- 
 tific pursuits he was assisted by his late 
 sister, Carolina, who distinguished herself 
 by her application to the sublime science 
 of astronomy, and \>y several ingenious 
 reports of her observations to the Royal 
 Society. Jointly with this lady the Doc- 
 tor has published in a distinct form :

 tions to government, and, in consequence 
 of these services was strongly recom- 
 mended by the minister to the E. India 
 Company, under whom he held offices of 
 great trust in the kingdom of Tanjore, 
 trom 1781 to 1787, when he resigned' his 
 employments. In 1790 he was first elect- 
 ed M. P. for Sudbury, which he has 
 ever since represented: in 1792 he re- 
 turned to Italy, and was again employed 
 there in various important commissions ; 
 and in 1795 negnctated the marriage of 
 the Princess Royal of England with the 
 present King of Wurtemberg. As a re- 
 ward for his services, he was advanced to 
 the dignity of a Baronet in 1796. Sir 
 John married first in 1780, Margaret, 
 second daughter of Sir John Stuart, 
 Bart, of Allanbank, in the county of Ber- 
 wick, who died 1799, and by whom he 
 has one son and three daughters ; and

 Academy. In 1776 he commenced his 
 travels; and, after an absence of four 
 years, returned to England, settled in 
 London, and devoted himself to the prac- 
 tice of his profession. Being obliged, 
 however, by ill T health to suspend this 
 pursuit, he attempted dramatic composi- 
 tion, for his amusement, and with such 
 success as induced him entirely to relin- 
 quish the pencil for the pen. He has 
 produced about twenty dramatic pieces, 
 many of which are not printed, and has 
 published : - #

 Hoare, Sir Richard Colt, Ba.t. of 
 Stourhead, Wilts. F.R. and A.S. son of 
 Sir Richard H. of Barn Elms, Surrey, by" 
 Anne, daughter of Henry Hoare, Esq. of 
 Stourhead. After finishing his education 
 he spent several years in foreign travel, 
 and returned home in 1791. Being 
 strongly attached to Antiquarian pur- 
 suits and prevented by the political 
 state of the continent from following 
 them abroad, he turned his attention 
 towards the antiquities of his own 
 country. He first passed two or three 
 summers in Wales, with a view to illus-i 
 trate the very scarce and curious itine- 
 rary made through- that principality by 
 Giraldus de Barri, in 1188, when Baldwin, 
 Archbishop of Canterbury, made his pro- 
 gress through the country to promote the 
 cause of the Crusades, The work which 
 he produced on this subject contains 60 
 views of antiquities, portraits, sepulchral 
 effigies, &c. engraved from Sir Richard's 
 drawings by Messrs. Byrne and Basire. 
 At the same time he published a small 
 impression of the original work in Latin, 
 which had become extremely scarce. He 
 has since directed his- attention to the 
 antiquities of Ireland, and lastly to those 
 of the county in which he resides. By 
 a persevering, expensive, and minute in- 
 vestigation of the spacious downs with 
 which Wiltshire abounds, undertaken 
 with a view to the elucidation of the 
 earliest period of- British history, he has 
 ascertained numerous and undoubted re- 
 sidences of the Britons; and by opening 
 barrows has been enabled to throw con- 
 siderable light on the ancient customs of 
 our British ancestors. The whole work 
 is richly decorated with views, maps, and 
 plans, and at the conclusion Sir R. has, 
 announced his intention of publishing 
 the Ancient History of North Wiltshire, 
 on the same scale and plan. Sir R. mar- 
 ried in 1783 the Hon. Hester, daughter' 
 of the late Lord Lyttelton, by whom he 
 has one son. His publications are :

 Hodgson, Rev. Henry, M. D. born at

 'at Peter House, Cambridge, where he 
 took his first degree 1775. Having soon 
 after taken orders, he officiated for some 
 time as curate at Market Rasen. En- 
 couraged by the late Dr. Jebb, he was 
 induced to apply himself to the study of 
 medicine, for which purpose he went to 
 Edinburgh, and was admitted to the de- 
 gree of M. D. While prosecuting his 
 medical studies he had the misfortune to 
 lose his friend Dr. Jebb ; upon which, 
 though invited to enter upon the exercise 
 of his profession, and to undertake the 
 pastoral office of either of two of the 
 most respectable congregations in the 
 north of England, yet he chose to return 
 to his native home, and now resides at 
 Market Rasen, serving his own church of 
 Tealby himself. Besides the learned 
 languages Dr. H. is w'ell versed in French, 
 Italian, Spanish, and German. He is the

 Holford, George, Esq. M. P. barris- 
 ter-at-law, and the son of the late Peter 
 Holford,' Esq. Master in Chancery. He 
 was educated at Harrow school, and on 
 leaving that seminary became a student 
 of Lincoln's Inn, by which honorable 
 society he was called to the bar, but never 
 practised. • He has distinguished himself 
 as a member of the House of Commons, 
 particularly in the committees for en- 
 quiring in to the abuses of prisons. Seve- 
 ral charitable institutions in the metro- 
 polis are also indebted to him for his as- 
 sistance and active exertions. The Phi- 
 lanthropic Asylum, in St. George's Fields, 
 has derived the greatest beneht from his 
 support, and it was chiefly owing to his 
 perseverance that a chapel was added to 
 that institution. His literary productions 
 are,

 Cave of Neptune, a dramatic poem on the victory of

 Holm an, J. G. a comedian and drama- 
 tic writer, was born in London in 1764, and 
 after receiving a classical education at the 
 academy in Soho-square, he removed to 
 Queen's College, Oxford. But in 1784, 
 his love of the drama prevailed over the 
 desire of academical honors, and he ap- 
 peared at Covent Garden Theatre in the 
 character of Romeo. At the end of the 
 third season he quitted that stage, owing 
 to sortie dispute about an increase of sa- 
 lary. He then went to Dublin, and af- 
 terwards to Edinburgh, where he acquir- 
 ed great popularity which contributed to 
 restore him to, Covent Garden; but in 
 1800 another difference broke out still 
 more violently than the former, and Mr. 
 Holman again quitted the stage that had 
 given birth to his talents. After playing 
 a short time at the Haymarket, he visit- 
 ed Dublin, of which theatre he purchas- 
 ed a share, which he soon relinquished 
 in consequence of the distracted state of 
 the country. In 1798, he married the 
 youngest daughter of the Hon. and Eev. 
 Frederick Hamilton, which lady died in 
 1810. As a dramatic writer Mr. Holman

 fortune, the consequence of widowhood 
 and the loss of property by a chancery

 HUNTINGFORD, GeORGE ISAAC, D. D. 
 
 F.R.S. Warden of Winchester College, 
 and Bishop of Gloucester. His Lordship 
 was born at Winchester in 1748, edu- 
 cated at Wykeham's school in that city, 
 and thence removed to New College, 
 Oxford, where he proceeded M. A. in 
 1776. He afterwards became an assis- 
 tant at the school where he had been 
 brought up under Dr. Joseph Warton. 
 In 1782, being then Fellow of New Col- 
 lege, he published his first collection of 
 Monostrophics, or Greek Odes, of which 
 he says in a letter written at the time, 
 " The persuasion of Mr. Warton, Mr. 
 Burgess, Dr. Laurence and other emi- 
 nent men, induced me to the publication; 
 I hope that my offering to the literati 
 will be candidly received by them." The 
 work was critically examined by Dr. 
 Charles Burney, in the Monthly Review, 
 but though the author defended his per- 
 formance, this little controversy was so 
 far from occasioning any ill-will on either 
 side, that it produced a. lasting friendship 
 "between these two eminent scholars. 
 In 1789 Mr. Huntingford was appointed 
 Warden of Winchester College, and in 
 1793 he accumulated the degrees of B. 
 and D.D. In 1802 Lord Sidmouth, who 
 had' been educated under him at Win- 
 chester, advanced him, without solicita- 
 Lit.Cal. 
 
 tion, , to the Bishopric of Gloucester, 
 from which he has refused to be trans- 
 lated. His Lordship is unmarried, and 
 his motive for remaining single is highly 
 to his honor. An elder brother, master 
 of the free grammar school at Warmin- 
 ster, at his death in 1772, left a widow 
 with a young family, the entire care of 
 which our author took upon himself, and 
 they have ever since lived under his roof, 
 or been provided for at his expense. His 
 Lordship's works are : 
 
 Greek Odes, 1781, of which only 50 copies wer« 
 printed — Metrica Monostrophica, 8vo. 1782. — Part 
 the First of an Introduction to the Writing of Greek, 
 3d. ed. 8vo. 1782. — Part the Second of the same, being

 now united. — A Latin Interpretation of ./Elian, 12mo.

 Hutton, Charles, LL.D.' F.R.S. pt 
 London and Edinb. and of the Phil. 
 Societies of Haerlem and America, and 
 late Professor- of Mathematics in the 
 Royal Military Academy at .Woolwich. 
 He was born at Newcastle upon Tyne in 
 1737, and at an early age he opened a 
 mathematical school in his native town, 
 where, in 1764, he published his Practi- 
 cal Treatise on Arithmetic and Book- 
 keeping ; to which was afterwards added 
 a Key for the use of Tutors. His Trea- 
 tise on Mensuration, printed in quarto 
 in 1768, having established his reputa- 
 tion as a mathematician, occasioned his 
 election into the Royal Society, and his 
 appointment as master of the Royal Mi- 
 litary Academy at Woolwich. When 
 Sir John Pringle was president of the 
 Royal Society, our author, who had ob- 
 tained his degree of doctor of laws from 
 Aberdeen, was chosen foreign secretary 
 of that learned body ; of which office he 
 was deprived by Sir Joseph Banks on the 
 most frivolous pretences. This proceed- 
 ing alarmed the scientific members, with 
 Dr. Horsley at their head, and some 
 warm debates took place, with the seces- 
 sion, for a period, of those gentlemen 
 who resented the arbitrary conduct of the 
 President. In i ; 807 Dr. H. resigned his 
 situation at the Military Academy on ac- 
 count of his ill health, and besides a very 
 flattering but just tribute of praise foi; his 
 labors, from the board of ordinance, 
 a liberal pension was conferred upon him 
 by government. In a recent paper 
 printed at Newcastle, is the following pa- 
 ragraph, which merits insertion in this 
 article: " Our learned townsman, Charles 
 Hutton, LL.D. F.R.S. emeritus pro- 
 fessor of mathernatics in the Royal Aca- 
 demy at Woolwich, has subscribed five 
 pounds annually to the new institution 
 for permanent lectures in natural philo- 
 sophy, under the patronage of the lite- 
 rary and philosophical society : and also 
 an equal sum to the royal jubilee school 
 in this town." His works, besides what 
 have been already mentioned, are :

 Hutton, William, F.A.S. Edin. was 
 bora at Derby in 1723. His father was 
 a master woolcomber ; but two years af- 
 ter the birth of William, he failed and 
 became a journeyman. The education 
 which the son recejypd was, pf course, 
 very scanty, fpr at the age of seven years 
 he was bound apprentice to the silk mill 
 at Derby ; and at fourteen he entered on 
 a second apprenticeship to a stocking 
 maker at Nottingham. From the age of 
 twenty-one to twenty-seven, he worked 
 at the latter trade, and at the last .men- 
 tioned period he began the bookselling 
 business on a small scale at Birmingham. 
 At thirty-two he married the daughter of 
 a respectable farmer of Aston in Derby- 
 shire, with whom he lived upwards of 
 forty years, and by whom he' had a son 
 
 and daughter, both living. Soon after 
 his marriage he added the stationary bur 
 siness to that of bookselling, and with so' 
 much success as to induce him in time 
 to relinquish the latter altogether. At 
 the age of fifty-six he commenced au- 
 thor, and the fruits of his application ap- 
 peared in the History of Birmingham,, of 
 which a fourth edition is now prepared for 
 the press. In the riots of 1791, Mr. Hut- 
 ton, notwithstanding his pacific habits, 
 suffered severely, his house in the town 
 being destroyed, with the stock in trade 
 and furniture, after which the infuriated 
 mob demolished his residence in the 
 country. At the age of sixty-nine, he 
 retired from business with a . hand- 
 some fortune, and resides on Bennett's 
 Hill, near 1 Birmingham, enjoying his fa- 
 culties with uncommon vigor, though 
 considerably advanced beyond the ordi- 
 nary period of human existence. An in- 
 teresting memoir of his own life has 
 been drawn up by himself, and is intend- 
 ed to be published after his decease.

 Inchbald, Elizabeth, the daughter of 
 a farmer named Simpson, was horn at 
 Staningfield in Suffolk in 1756. Having 
 devoted much of her early life to reading, 
 and losing her father, she at the age of 
 sixteen came to London, without the 
 'knowledge of her family, and made an 
 effort to obtain an engagement on the 
 stage. This brought her acquainted 
 with Mr. Inchbald, who offered her mar- 
 riage and was accepted. With this gen- 
 tleman, who was an actor of reputation, 
 she went to Scotland, and after perform- 
 ing there four seasons visited York ; but 
 at the end of two years the health of 
 Mrs. Inchbald declining, she and her 
 husband went to France. In 1779 she 
 became a widow at Leeds, on which she 
 came to London and made her first ap- 
 pearance at Covent Garden as Bellario 
 in the play of Philaster, Oct. 3, 1780. 
 She next turned her attention to dramatic 
 composition, and in 1784 appeared at 
 the Haymarket theatre her farce called 
 A Mogul Tale ; the success of which en- 
 couraged the manager to bring out her 
 comedy of " I'll Tell You What," which 
 Mr. Harris had rejected. In 1789 she 
 quitted the stage, and since that, period 
 has depended chiefly on her literary la- 
 bors, the list of which follows : 
 
 Appearance is against Them, a farce, 8vo. 1786. — I'll 
 Tell You What, a com. 8vu. 1786.— The Widow'*

 created D.D. by the University of Ox- 
 ford. The revolution in America having 
 rendered it necessary to provide for the 
 religions concerns of those who remain- 
 ed faithful to the parent country, this 
 divine was very properly selected to be 
 the resident bishop of Nova Scotia, where 
 he has contributed essentially to the be- 
 nefit of the people by his example and 
 liberality. The bishop has founded a 
 college at Halifax, towards which he has 
 obtained very liberal contributions in 
 books*and other grants from England.

 Ireland, William Henry, is the son 
 of the late Samuel Ireland, well known 
 by several picturesque tours, and an il- 
 lustration of Hogarth. The son also, who 
 has been no less remarkable, was born 
 in London and educated at Soho school ; 
 after which he was articled to a convey- 
 ancer in New Inn, where, having some 
 
 leisure, he began to exercise his inge- 
 nuity in the imitation of ancient writing. 
 His success in these attempts set him 
 upon the bold design of forging some 
 papers, and passing them off as the ge- 
 nuine remains ofShakspeare. Having 
 executed some of these on the blanks 
 of old books, he communicated the trea- 
 sure to his father, who, strange to say, 
 made S. parade of the discovery to the 
 world, without secretly examining into 
 the authenticity of the manuscripts, and 
 the truth of the tale which his son 
 related concerning the manner of his ob- 
 taining them. For some time the pub- 
 lic were greatly amused by these literary 
 relics, and a few, who ought to have 
 known better, lent themselves to the 
 support of the imposition so far as to en- 
 courage, by subscription, a collection 
 which was the disgrace of literature. 
 A splendid volume made its appearance 
 in 1796, and a play was performed at 
 Drury Lane with the title of Vortigern ; 
 but this last dissolved the spell, and the 
 discernment of an English audience 
 
 3 uickly detected the cheat, of which no 
 oubt could be entertained after the am- 
 ple exposure it experienced from Mr. 
 Malone. The publications of this ad- 
 venturer are : 
 
 An authentic Account of the Shakspeare Manuscripts, 
 8vo- 1796, in which he makes this declaration : " I 
 solemnly declare first, that my father was perfectly 
 unacquainted with the whole affair, believing the pa- 
 pers most firmly the productions of Shakspeare. Se- 
 condly, that 1 am myself both the author and writer, 
 and had no aid from any soul living, and that I should 
 never have gone so far, but that the world praised the 
 papers so much, and thereby flattered my vanity; 
 Thirdly, that any publication which may appear tend* 
 ing to prove the MSS. genuine, or to contradict what 
 is here stated, is false ; this being the true account.

 iV Irwin, Eyles, Esq. a member of the 
 ' Royal Irish Academy, was born at Cal- 
 cutta, in 1751. His rather was a native 
 of Ireland, and died in the service of 
 the East India Company, leaving several 
 children. Young Mr. Irwin was educat- 
 ed under Dr. Rose, at Chiswick, and in 
 1767 he was taken into the civil service 
 at Madras. On account of his attach- 
 ment to Lord Pigot he was suspended in 
 1775, on which he took a passage by the 
 way of the Red Sea to England, to lay 
 his case before the Board. His applica- 
 tion was successful, and in 1778 he mar- 
 ried Miss Brooke, a relation of the cele- 
 brated poet and author of the FoM of 
 Quality. In 1780, he made a journey 
 overland to India, where he rendered 
 important services to the Company dur- 
 ing a very difficult period, when the 
 coast was threatened by a French fleet, 
 and Ayder Ally overran the Carnatic. 
 In 1785, Mr. Irwin returned to Europe, 
 ■where he has continued to reside in the 
 bosom of his family, and enjoying a 
 competence honorably obtained. He has 
 made one or two attempts to gain a place

 Jackson, Robbrt, M.D. of Edinburgh, 
 
 late physician to the forces and head of 
 the hospitals at the army depot in the 
 Isle of Wight. This gentleman went to 
 Jamaica in 1774, and there he practised 
 cold affusion in fever, with success, long 
 before that method was adopted by Dr. 
 Currie. In 1778, we find Dr. Jackson 
 serving in the British army in America, 
 as regimental surgeon, and on the tet- 
 miualion of that war he settled at Stock- 
 ton-upon-Tees ; but when the contest 
 with France broke out. in 1793, he was 
 appointed to the third regiment of foot, 
 as the only road by which he could 
 arrive at the office of army physician. 
 During the late war he served in Bel* 
 gium, St. Domingo, and various othet 
 places, in the course of which extensive 
 practice he added largely to the stock of 
 medical science, and the improvement 
 of that branch of the profession to which 
 he was attached, as the following list of. 
 his works will evince :

 Jenner, Edwar»> M. D. F.R.S. &c. is 
 
 the youngest son of the Rev. Stephen 
 Jenner, vicar of Berkley in Gloucester- 
 shire, and born there in 1749. Haying 
 gone through a regular apprenticeship to 
 an eminent practitioner, he commenced 
 business for himself as a Surgeon, in his 
 native town, where also he cultivated ge- 
 neral science with considerable success, 
 and particularly natural history, of which 
 he gave a proof in some curious observa- 
 tions on the Cuckow, inserted in the 
 Philosophical Transactions for 1788. 
 But the discovery which has stamped 
 immortality upon the name of Jenner, 
 is that permanent security against the 
 small pox, obtained from the inoculation 
 by the vaccine matter, commonly deno- 
 minated the cow pock. Living in a great 
 dairy . county, our author had frequent 
 opportunities of witnessing the singular 
 resistance to variolous infection, which 
 marked those persons who were in the 
 constant habit of milking and handling 
 the cows. This induced him to try some 
 experiments, the success of which en- 
 couraged him to piish his inquiries far- 
 ther, and at length the most laudable and 
 disinterested spirit led him to make pub- 
 lic the important secret, which, had he 
 chosen to keep concealed or confined to 
 bis own practice and emolument, would 
 have procured him an immense fortune. 
 Vaccination was at first received with 
 great caution, but the success of it soon 
 dispelled the doubts of men of science, 
 and they who opposed it at the outset, 
 honorably came forward to attest their 
 conviction of its efficacy ; though a few 
 empirics and bigots still continued to im- 
 pede its progress, and to alarm the igno- 
 rant by tales of danger which were the 
 mere coinage of the crafty to deceive the 
 weak. Dr. Jenner, however, received 
 the most honorable testimonies to the 
 value of his discovery in two parliamen- 
 tary grants, amounting in the whole to 
 thirty thousand pounds, in the sanction 
 -of all the learned societies throughout 
 Europe, and the extension of the practice 
 over all the world. In the present year, 
 the University of Oxford did itself honor 
 in conferring upon him the degree of 
 Doctor of Medicine, by diploma. Dr, 
 Jenner is the author of:

 years he removed to that of Mr. Thos. 
 Wright, in Peterborough-court, where 
 he remained till the death of his princi- 
 pal in March, 1797, an event which ter- 
 minated Mr. Jones's immediate connexi- 
 on with the profession of a printer; 
 and he became the editor of the White- 
 hall Evening Post; but on the decline of 
 that paper he undertook the manage- 
 ment of the General Evening Post. He

 Isaac Reed, ne became the editor of the

 Joyce, Jeremiah, a Dissenting 
 Teacher of the Unitarian persuasion, was 
 originally a journeyman glazier, but hav- 
 : ing a turn for mathematics he applied as- 
 siduously to that study, and also to the 
 Latin language, in which he was assisted 
 by Mr. Taylor, the noted Platonist. 
 After this, Mr. Joyce was taken under the 
 patronage of that eccentric nobleman the 
 Earl of Stanhope, who entrusted him 
 with the education of his son Lord Ma- 
 hon. But our author having embroiled 
 himself in the revolutionary politics of 
 the day, was taken up, and committed to 
 the Tower, where he remained twenty- 
 three weeks. At the trial of Hardy, 
 Tooke, and Thelwall, he was discharged, ; 
 when the principals were acquitted. Hisi

 Kemble, Charles, is the youngest son 
 of the late Mr. Koger Kemble, and was 
 horn Nov. 25,. 1775, at Brecknock in 
 South Wales, which town also gave birth 
 to his sister, Mrs. Siddons. At the age 
 of thirteen he was sent to Douay in 
 Flanders, where he remained three years, 
 and besides perfecting himself in the 
 French language he made a good profi- 
 ciency in the classics. On his return he 
 obtained a situation in the post office ; 
 but remained there only a year, having 
 that propensity to the stage which is the 
 characteristic of his family. He com- 
 menced his career at Sheffield in 1792 in 
 the character of Orlando in As You Like 
 It, and acquitted himself with credit. 
 After performing about a twelvemonth 
 in a variety of characters at that town, 
 at Newcastle, and Edinburgh, he ven- 
 tured to try a London audience. His 
 first appearance at Drury Lane was in 
 the character of Malcolm in Macbeth, 
 April 21, 1794, and he was so well re- 
 ceived that Mr. Colman gave him an 
 engagement for the Haymarket, where 
 he performed with great applause till the 
 summer of 1802,- when the state of his 
 health obliged him to visit the continent, 
 and on his return to England he joined 
 his brother at Covent Garden. In 1806 
 he married Miss De Camp, of whom 
 particular mention will be niade in a 
 subsequent article. Mr. Charles Kem- 
 ble is- the author of these dramatic 
 pieces ; 
 
 The Point of Honor, a play, 8?o. 1800.— The Wan- 
 derer, hist. dram. 8vo. 1808. — Plot and Counterplot, 
 farce, 8i'0. 1808. 
 
 Kemble, John Philip, brother of the 
 precedin;, was born at Prescot in Lan- 
 cashire in 1757. He received the rudi- 
 ments of his education at the Roman 
 Catholic seminary of Sedgeley Parkin 
 Staffordshire, from whence he was remov- 
 ed to the University of Douay in Flanders 
 with a view to the priesthood : but 
 though he made a very honorable pro- 
 gress in the necessary studies, and ac- 
 quired a reputation at college by his elo- 
 quence, he felt little inclination for the 
 clerical profession. On his return to 
 England he preferred the stage to every 
 other pursuit, and performed with ap- 
 plause ■ at Liverpool, Edinburgh and 
 York. While at the first of these places 
 he produced a play on the story of Beli- 
 sarjus, and at York he brought on the 
 stage an alteration of M.assinger's New

 Way to Pay Old Debts, and an alteration 
 of the Comedy of Errors. About the 
 same time he published a small collec- 
 tion of poems, under the title of " Fugi- 
 tive Pieces :" but being dissatisfied with 
 what he had done, he, the very day after 
 publication, destroyed -every copy he 
 could procure, and we have been told 
 that one of those which escaped the 
 flames, was sold hot long since for the 
 sum of three pounds five shillings. 
 While at York, Mr. Kemble tried a new 
 species of entertainment, consisting of a 
 repetition of the odes of Mason, Gray, 
 arid Collins, with a recitation of the pa- 
 thetic tales of Interne, and other pieces in 
 yrose and verse. This novel amuse- 
 ment met with approbation, and the au- 
 thor was encouraged to Tepeat it in va- 
 rious places. At Edinburgh he delivered 
 a lecture on oratory which added consi- 
 derably to his reputation. From that 
 city he went to Dublin where he remain- 
 ed two years, and in September 1783 he 
 made his first appearance on a London 
 stage in the character of Hamlet, at Drury 
 Lane, llis reception in the metropolis 
 was highly flattering, and here he had 
 an ample range for his variegated talents, 
 which he displayed to his own advan- 
 tage and the delight of the public. On 
 the secession of .Mr. King, he became the 
 manager of Drury Lane theatre, which 
 office he held with credit eight years. In 
 1802 he visited the continent for the 
 purppse of studying the French and 
 Spanish theatricals and of importing 
 whatever might be serviceable for the 
 improvement of our stage. ; Afterpassing 
 about a year at Paris and Madrid, he re- 
 turned home, and having purchased a 
 sixth part of the Covent Garden concern, 
 he became the manager of that theatre j 
 which he highly benefited by his judg- 
 ment and his performances. Mr. Kem- 
 ble in his profession has written or 
 altered a great number of pieces the 
 ■titles of which are as follows : ' 
 
 The Pannel, farce, 8vo. 1788.— The Farm House, com. 
 
 8vo. 1789- — Love in Many Masks, com. 8vo. 1790

 Kemble, Mrs. Marie-Therese, was 
 born at Vienna, Jan. 17, 1774. Her 
 father, George Lewis De Camp, was a 
 musician and brother to Madame Simo- 
 net, who was 6ne of the principal dancers 
 at the Opera House. Miss De Camp 
 dedicated herself to the stage at the early 
 age of six years when she was retained 
 at the Opera House as the Cupidon in 
 Noverre's ballets. From thence she re- 
 moved to the theatre of Monsieur Le 
 Texier, where she performed, when only 
 eight years old, the character of Zelie, in 
 the comedy of La Colombe, written by 
 Madame de. Genlis. Her elegance as a 
 dancer occasioned her removal to the 
 Circus, where she was engaged with 
 Monsieur Laborie and the Miss Simo- 
 nets, to adorn the exhibitions of that 
 theatre. 'She did not however remain 
 long in that situation, being engaged by 
 the. elder Colman, for his house in the 
 Hayrnarket, at the particular recommen- 
 dation of the Prince of Wales. At the 
 end of the season she accepted an invita- 
 tion from the manager of Drury-lane, 
 where she made her first appearance as 
 Julie, in Richard Coeiir de Linn, to the 
 success of which opera her performance 
 essentially contributed. At Drury-lane, 
 in 1799, Miss De Camp produced a co- 
 medy for her own berlefit, called First 
 Faults, which displayed no ordinary ta- 
 lent in dramatic composition. One Earle, 
 however, endeavoured to impose a play 
 on the public, entitled, Natural Faults, 
 which he had the temerity to say had 
 been copied by Miss De Camp. This 
 pretension, gross as it was, occasioned 
 some discussion in the public prints; 
 but the lady sufficiently disproved the 
 charge, and exposed the cheat in a letter 
 addressed to the editor of the" 1 Morning 
 Chronicle. At the termination of the 
 season in 1806, she quitted Drury-lane 
 for Covent-garden, and the same year 
 was united at the altar to Mr. Charles 
 Kemble. She has published one piece, 
 entitled, 
 
 The Day after the Wedding, inter. 8vo. 1808.

 Kipling, Thomas, D.D. of St. John's 
 College, Cambridge, Deputy Regius Pro- 
 fessor of Divinity, and Dean of Peterbo- 
 rough. This learned divine in 1798, ren- 
 dered himself obnoxious to a refractory 
 party in the university by accepting the 
 office of promoter or prosecutor in the 
 case of Mr. Frend, Fellow of Jesus Col- 
 lege, against whom it was deemed neces- 
 sary to proceed judicially for his attack 
 upon the established church. The ex- 
 pulsion of that gentleman for his offence 
 and contumacy, brought upon the de- 
 puty professor a shower of abuse from 
 the zealots for innovation, at the head of 
 whom was Dr. Edwards, who took occa- 
 sion, when the Codex of Beza came out, 
 to assail both the preface and the editor 
 with a virulence which amounted to per- 
 sonal hostility. Dr. Kipling was charged 
 with ignorance and want of fidelity, but 
 though it cannot be denied that the edi- 
 tion is inferior to the magnitude of the 
 undertaking, still no candid person will 
 justify the scurrility of the Socinian critic. 
 As a reward for his labours and some 
 consolation for the mortifications which 
 he had experienced in the discharge of 
 his public duty, Dr. Kipling was made 
 Dean of Peterborough. His works are : 
 
 The Elementary parts of Dr. Smith's Complete System 
 of Optics, 4to. 1778. — Codex Theodor^ Bezae Cantab

 plectcns, Quadratis Literis Gra?co-Latinis, 2 v. fol.

 not to be Calvinistic, Svo. 1802. This pamphlet 
 having been remarked on by a writer under the sig- 
 nature of Academicus, drew forth a defence by a

 self. — Certain Accusations brought lately by the

 entered under the name of Vicesimus 
 Knock, B.C.L. Oct. 19, 1753, but what 
 occasioned the change in the spelling ' 
 we are riot informed. The son received 
 his education under his parent, after 
 which he removed to the same college, 
 orl an exhibition, obtained a fellowship, 
 and took the degree of M.A. in 1779: 
 By the interest of his father he obtained 
 the mastership of Tunbridge School, 
 where he married the daughter of a re- 
 spectable bookseller, and discharged the 
 duties of his situation with honor till the 
 year 1812, when he resigned in favor of 
 his son, the Rev. Thomas Knox, A.M. 
 of Brazenose College, Oxford. The de-> 
 gree of Doctor in Divinity was commu- 
 nicated to our author by an American 
 University, at the solicitation, we believe, 
 of the late Charles Dilly, the bookseller. 
 The works of Dr. Knox are as follow :

 some liberal minded persons asserted the 
 cause of justice, which produced a fierce 
 controversy, and rival institutions arose 
 in consequence. Mr. Lancaster, availing 
 himself of his popularity and patronage, 
 opened a seminary in 181'2, at Lower 
 Tooting, and the advertisement which 
 he issued exhibited a rare specimen of 
 pompous professions, but in a little while 
 the whole project fell to the ground, and 
 the effects of the manager, among which 
 were no less than three carriages, were 
 sold for the benefit of his creditors. He

 did for England and Wales ; but fhough

 ed a verdict with five hundred pounds da-

 Dashwood, and in 1792 the daughter 
 married Mathew Lee, Esq. but in 1804, 
 being then a widow, she excited an un- 
 common degree of public attention by 
 her connexion with two brothers of the 
 name of Gordon, one of whom, a clergy- 
 man, assisted the other in carrying off 
 the lady, as it was said, without her own 
 consent. A prosecution ensued, but the

 Lempriere, William, M'. D. physi- 
 cian to the forces at the army depot in 
 the Isle of Wight, and formerly a sur- 
 geon. in the army. He. is also a native of 
 Jersey, and at an early period obtained 
 an appointment at Gibraltar, where, in 
 September 1789, he received an offer to 
 visit Morocco, for the purpose of attend- 
 ing the son of the Emperor, who was 
 then in a dangerous and declining state. 
 Tempted by so flattering an invitation, 
 Mr. Lempriere went over to Rarbary, but 
 though he met with a very nattering re- 
 ception -from the prince, and was treated 
 with distinction by his father, yet, when 
 the object of the mission was accom- 
 plished and he had rendered the service 
 required, Mr. Lempriere was abandoned 
 by his royal patient, and left to return 
 home as well as he could, not only with- 
 out a reward, but even withoutprotection. 
 It seems that the Emperor wished to re- 
 tain him in the country, but certainly 
 bad usage was the worst means that 
 could have been adopted for the purpose. 
 
 After many vexatious delays, however, 
 he obtained leave to depart, and on the 
 12th of February 1790, he quitted Mo- 
 rocco, arrived at" Tangier on the 26th of 
 the same month, and at Gibraltar the 
 27th of March. Though he experi- 
 enced so much trouble in this journey, 
 it enabled him to present his country- 
 men with a very agreeable and valuable 
 publication, entituled : 
 
 A Tour from Gibraltar to Tangier, Sallee, Mogadore, 
 Santa Cruz, Tarudant, and thence over Mount Atlas 
 to Morocco ; including a particular account of the 
 Royal Harem, &c. Bvo. 1791. — Besides this work, he 
 has printed*, practical observations on the Diseases of 
 the Army in Jamaica, as they occurred between the 
 years 1792 and 1797, 2' v. 8vo. 1799. — Report on, the 
 Medicinal Effects of a Spring lately discovered at

 Lettsom, John Coakley, M.D. F.R.S. 
 F.A.S. and a member of various in- 
 
 stitutions in this and other countries* 
 This gentleman is a native of the West 
 Indies, and his parents, who were of' the 
 Society of Friends, commonly .called 
 Quakers, sent him, at an early age, to 
 England, where he was placed under the 
 care of Mr. Samuel Fothergill, of War- 
 ington, the younger brother of the cele- 
 brated physician Dr. John Fothergill. 
 He was next sent to a grammar school in 
 fhe same neighbourhood, after which he 
 was placed with Dr. Sutcliff for some 
 years, and then came to London to visit 
 the hospitals, .which be attended two 
 years. He afterwards studied at Edin- 
 burgh, and then at Leyden, where he 
 took his degree of doctor of physiq, arid 
 published his Thesis. To complete his 
 education he ' visited the hospitals of 
 Paris, and most of the places resorted to 
 by invalids abroad, as the Spa, Aix-la- 
 Chapelle, and others. On his return to 
 England he established himself in Lon- 
 don, under the powerful auspices of Dr. 
 Fothergill, and aided by . his connexions 
 with the Quakers. He was, in 1769, ad- 
 milted a licentiate of the College of Phy- 
 sicians, the year after elected a fellow 
 of the Society of Antiquaries, and the 
 next he became a member of the Royal 
 Society. His time was now devoted to 
 his profession, and few men perhaps 
 have acquired a greater reputation for 
 skill and philanthropy. The charities of 
 Dr. Lettsom have been most extensive, 
 and no institution, of a benevolent kind, 
 has been formed in the metropolis with- 
 out experiencing the effects of his gene- 
 rosity. Not long since by a decree in 
 the Court of Chancery he has been put 
 in possession of estates in Tortola, worth, 
 as it is said, twenty thousand a year. 
 His publications are :

 Lewis, Matthew Gregory, Esq. son

 wrote a romance of great notoriety, and 
 certainly displaying a luxuriant fancy, but 
 sadly debased by obscenity and impiety. 
 The work, however, was pruned of much 
 of its offensive matter, on coming to a 
 second edition, < though even in its reno- 
 vated, state it is dangerous to the moral 
 principles of young and inexperienced 
 readers. The productions of Mr. Lewis

 merce to the Great Pacific Ocean. The 
 result of these researches does honor tp 
 the zeal and talents of the adventurers, 
 and their work, which has been reprinted 
 in London, will prove a valuable acqui- 
 sition to the store of geographical science. 1

 Lichfield and Coventry, (the Hon. 
 and Rev. James Cornwallis, Lord Bi- 
 shop of). This venerable prelate was 
 the brother of the late Marquis Cornwal- 
 lis, and was born Feb. 25, 1743. He re- 
 ceived his education at Westminster 
 school, from whence he removed to 
 Christ Church, Oxford, but afterwards 
 obtained a fellowship at Merton College, 
 where he took his master's degree in 
 1766, and that, of doctor in civil lawin 
 1775. He at first intended to make the 
 bar his profession, and with that view 
 entered himself a student of the Temple; 
 but the elevation of his uncle to the 
 Archbishopric, on the death of Dr. 
 Seeker, opened new prospects and he de- 
 voted himself to the Church. His first 
 preferment was the rich rectory of Wro- 
 tham in Kent, soon after which, he ob- 
 tained a prebend pf Westminster, and 
 in 1775 succeeded Dr. Moore in the 
 
 deanry of Canterbury. In 1781, on the 
 translation of Bishop Hurd, he was raised 
 to the see of Lichfield and Coventry; 
 and in 1791 on the translation of Bishop 
 Douglas to 'the see of Salisbury, he suc- 
 ceeded him as dean of Windsor, which 
 he vacated on being made dean of Dur- 
 ham. His Lordship married in 1771, a 
 lady who was nearly related to Sir Ho-> 
 race Mann, and by her he has several 
 children. In the collection of poems 
 published by the University of Oxford on 
 the death of George the second, is one 
 in Latin by the honorable James Corn- 
 wallis, which possesses distinguished me- 
 rit. His only publications are :

 brought against it by various Protestant 
 writers. But the principal object of his 
 polemical tactics was the present venera- 
 ble bishop of Durham," whose charge to 
 the clergy in 1806 brought Mr. Lingard, 
 though anonymously, into the field, and 
 his pamphlets having excited much at- 
 tention as well among Protestants as 
 Catholics, occasioned a sharp con- 
 troversy in which several persons of abi- 
 lity took a pact. The various publica-

 Lonsdale, the Right Hon. William 
 Lowther, Earl of, is the nephew of the 
 celebrated Sir James Lowther, who was 
 created a Viscount in 1797. The pre- 
 sent nobleman was born in 1757, and 
 during the life-time of his uncle he repre- ' 
 sented the city of Carlisle. In 1781 he 
 married lady Augusta Fane, sister to the 
 Earl of Westmoreland, by whom he has 
 several children. Not long after his ac- 
 cession to the title and estates, he was 
 created Earl of Lonsdale, and in general 
 he has been a strenuous supporter of the 
 party who espouse the politics of Mr. 
 Pitt. His Lordship is a liberal patron of 
 literature and the arts, and when the 
 posthumous historical fragment' of Mr. 
 Fox appeared, he printed a very valuable 
 manuscript which was written by his 
 ancestor, John, Lord Viscount Lonsdale, 
 the confidential servant of William III.

 On the death of his father he applied to

 Montrose, among whom he acquired 
 credit in Scotch,^ Irish and French cha- 
 racters. In 1794 he enlisted as Serjeant 
 in the Dumbartonshire Highlanders, with 
 whom he went to Guernsey, where he 
 resided two years, and there some of his 
 dramatic pieces were performed. He 
 next served in Ireland, but a few weeks 
 after the battle of Vinegar Hill he was 
 discharged, and made the best of his 
 way to London with the hopes of getting 
 some of his pieces brought on the stage, 
 in which expectation however he was 
 disappointed. He has since continued 
 to publish little dramatic productions for 
 the support of himself and family, not 
 altogether without success, having been 
 patronized in these laudable efforts by. 
 persons of high distinction. Some of his 
 performances evince considerable inge- 
 nuity, and might, with proper manage- 
 ment, be. rendered pleasing on the stage.

 and served a curacy in Northampton- 
 shire. In 1781 he resumed the office of 
 a preceptor, and after several changes he

 Malmesbury, James Harris, Earl of, 
 is the only surviving son of the celebrated. 
 James Harris, the author of Hermes and 
 other erudite works. His Lordship was 
 born at Salisbury, April 9, 1746, and edu- 
 cated at Merton College, Oxford, where 
 he obtained the degree of Doctor in Civil 
 Law, July 3, 1793. He commenced his 
 diplomatic career early in life, for in 
 1771 he was minister plenipotentiary to 
 the court of Madrid ; in 1772 to that of 
 Berlin; in 1776 to that of Petersburgh, 
 and in 1783 he was envoy extraordinary 
 at the Hague. In 1777 he married Har- 
 riet Mary, daughter of the late Sir 
 George Amyand, Bart, by whom he has 
 issue several children, particularly 
 Viscount Fitzharris, born at St. Peters- 
 burgh in 1778, educated at Eton, and 
 Oxford, and now M. P. for Heytesbury. 
 Lord Malmesbury was made a Knight of 
 the Bath in 1788, and the next year he 
 obtained the order of the Prussian Eagle 
 for his conduct during the insurrection 
 in Holland. His Lordship accompanied 
 the Princess of Wales to England, hav- 
 ing been appointed by his Majesty to 
 conclude and sign the treaty of marriage. 
 In 1797 he went to the continent to ne- 
 gociate with the accredited ministers of 
 the French Republic, but the business 
 terminated without any amicable adjust- 
 ment of the differences, and the war was 
 continued. Lord Malmesbury on that 
 occasion distinguished himself as a pro- 
 found statesman, and his conduct gave 
 such satisfaction to his court as to pro- 
 cure for him the dignity of an Earl, the 
 patent of which bears date Dec. 29, 1800.

 he had acquired by his talents procured 
 him the patronage of the Bishop of Lin- 
 coln who made him his domestic chap- 
 lain, gave him the valuable living of 
 Buckden and a prebend in his cathedral. 
 The friendship, however, that once sub- 
 sisted between, them has cooled, we un- 
 derstand, owing to some heat, manifested 
 by the doctor, in his political connexions 
 and by the zeal which he displayed on 
 an election at Huntingdon. His works

 Manby,/George William, was born at 
 Darner Cottage, near Darnham Market, 
 Norfolk, in 17(35. He was educated at 
 the Grammar school of Lynn,afterwards 
 at an academy at Bromley in Middlesex, 
 and then placed in the Royal Military 
 Coll.Wootwich. On being disappointed 
 
 of a suitable rank in active service he ac- 
 cepted a commission in a militia regi- 
 ment in which he served seven years, till 
 he was, by the interest of the Eight 
 Hon. Charles Yorke, then Secretary at 
 War, appointed Barfack Master at Yar- 
 mouth. Here he applied himself assi- 
 duously to contriving and improving an 
 apparatus for the humane purpose of 
 saving the lives of shipwrecked persons^ 
 which object he carried into complete 
 effect, though it should be observed that 
 the hint and the plan had been published^ 
 above twenty years before by Serjeant 
 Bell, who never obtained any remunera- 
 tion for the invention. Captain Manby has 
 the merit of carrying the method into 
 actual practice, and of having given to it 
 all the excellencies of an original disco- 
 very, for which he has been rewarded by 
 parliament with grants amounting to 
 six thousand pounds. His publications 
 are,

 * Marsh, Herbert, D.D. F.R.S. Mar- 
 garet Professor of Divinity in the Uni- 
 versity of Cambridge. He is a native of 
 London, and was bred at St. John's Col- 
 lege,' where he greatly distinguished him- 
 self as a classical and mathematical stu- 
 dent. After obtaining a fellowship and 
 academical honors at home, he went to 
 Germany for improvement in modern 
 languages. At Gottingen he resided 
 several years and thus he qualified him- 
 self for a translation of one of the pro- 
 foundest works into the English lan- 
 guage. But theological studies did not 
 wholly engross his thoughts and time on 
 the continent, for there he acquired much 
 important information oh public affairs, 
 and was enabled to render some essential 
 service th his country, for which he 
 had a ' pension granted to him during 
 the administration of Mr. Pitt. When 
 the French armies carried devastation 
 throughout Germany, our author thought 
 proper to return home to his native land, 
 and the bosom of his alma mater. On 
 the death of Mr. Mainwaring he succeed- 
 ed to the professorship, and with a laud- 
 able zeal to discharge the duties of his 
 station in the most beneficial manner, 
 he immediately engaged in a course of 
 English lectures on Theology, instead of 
 Latin ones, according to the ancient 
 usage. By this new mode he was en- 
 abled to render the appointment of uni- 
 versal advantage, smce persons of all 
 orders and descriptions had the advan- 
 tage of his instruction ; the lectures be- 
 ing delivered from the university pulpit, 
 
 It has beien the fortune Of the professor 
 to be more embroiled in various contro- 
 versy than any other person of the pre- 
 sent age. His first contest was with the 
 late Archdeacon Travis, on a question of 
 theological criticism. He was next en- 
 gaged in defending the honor and re- , 
 sources of Britain from the virulent at- 
 tacks of one of those mischievous beings 
 who in the heat of war endeavoured to 
 dispirit his countrymen, and to animate 
 their adversaries. Afterwards he was 
 occupied in defending his hypothesis re- 
 specting the history of the Gospels 
 against an acute but anonymous writer 
 of the sister university, and who cer- 
 tainly was not treated in this dispute 
 with the respect due to his real talents 
 and supposed dignity. Our author was 
 next brought into a newspaper warfare, 
 in the much agitated question respecting 
 the claims of Dr. Bell and Joseph Lan- 
 caster. Nearly connected with this con- 
 troversy was one on the views of the 
 Bible Society, which brought upon the 
 professor a swarm of inflamed spirits 
 who attacked him with an asperity ill 
 agreeing with the grave import of the 
 subject. What was very extraordinary 
 while the doctor. was thus at issue with 
 his ardent brethren, he received a chal- 
 lenge from another quarter, and as if the 
 Romanists wanted to make a convert of 
 so renowned a polemic, one of their most 
 popular priests in the metropolis ventur- 
 ed to congratulate him on having drawn 
 some of his sharpest arrows from the 
 papal quiver. This was a little too hardy, 
 and the event proved that the man, had 
 neither considered . his own powers nor 
 the strength of his adversary. Like the 
 " sheep that went to Rom^e for wool and 
 returned home shorn," this meddling 
 gentleman met, with a reception which 
 will make him ridiculous whenever the 
 two names shall be associated. The fol- 
 lowing list of the publications which the 
 professor has sent into the world cannot 
 fail to excite surprise, on account of their 
 variety and importance, the fecundity of 
 the author's genius, and the rapidity of 
 his pen :

 Martin, John, Pastor of the Particu- 
 lar Baptist congregation, meeting in 
 Keppel Street, Bedford Square. He was 
 born at' Spalding in Lincolnshire, March 
 15, 1741 ; converted by a Methodist 
 preacher, as he was travelling with his 
 master, an attorney, into Yorkshire : 
 brought into a new state by a Baptist 
 minister near Boston, and confirmed 
 therein by going to London in 1760 to 
 learn watch-finishing, and to sit under 
 
 Dr. Gill. In 1766 he became the pastor 
 of a congregation at Sheepshead in Lei- 
 cestershire, where he employed himself 
 in writing and preaching. He also at- 
 tended to what is now called village and 
 itinerant preaching, and rode for that 
 purpose about two-thousand miles a year. 
 A match was made for him in 1761 with 
 Miss Jessoph, daughter of a farmer near 
 Sleaford, " who," as he says, " loved 
 him sincerely, and did him good, and not 
 harm, all the days of her life." She died 
 and was buried at Sheepshead in 1765. 
 When he determined to quit the country 
 for London, to which he had various 
 calls, he accepted the pastoral office 
 among the members of a meeting in 
 Grafton Street. Within two years, how- 
 ever, one third of his congregation sepa- 
 rated, and their pastor was left in afflic- 
 tion, to support himself by writing and 
 publishing various pieces which were well 
 received. Mr. Martin afterwards grew 
 into reputation, and in 1794 was enabled 
 to build his present meeting which is at- 
 tended by a most respectable congrega- 
 tion. It is but justice to observe, that he 
 is orthodox in his religious views, very 
 loyal in his conduct, and altogether a 
 worthy man in private life. Some year? 
 ago, however, the board of Baptists con- 
 ceiving themselves offended by some de- 
 clarations which he made in a Sermon 
 preached before them, strongly reprobat- 
 ing the political deportment of many 
 Dissenters, thought fit to eject him from 
 their society. Such was the toleration of 
 this body of Nonconformists towards one 
 whose only fault consisted in his loyalty 
 and the conscientious discharge of his 
 duty. The works of Mr. Martin are : 
 
 Mechanicus and Flavens, or the "Watch Spiritualized, 
 12mo. 1763. — Familiar Dialogues between Americus 
 and Britannicus, 8vo. 1776. — The Conquest of Ca-

 • MartVn, Thomas, B.D. F.R.S. F.L.S. 
 Regius Professor of Botany in the Uni- 
 versity of Cambridge. This gentleman 
 is the eldest son of Dr. John Martyn, 
 physician at Chelsea, and Professor of 
 Botany at Cambridge. He was born 
 about the year 1735, and educated under 
 Lit. Cat. 
 
 the Rev. Mr. Rothery, at Chelsea, after 
 which he was admitted a pensioner, or in 
 the second rank of under graduates of 
 Emmanuel College, where he had for a 
 tutor the celebrated Mr. Henry Hubbard. 
 From Emmanuel , Mr. Martyn removed to 
 Sidney Sussex College on' taking his de- 
 gree of B.A. in 1756. The public build- 
 ings at Sidney had been so considerably 
 dilapidated, and the finances so much 
 impoverished, that Dr. Parris, the mas- 
 ter, was compelled to recur to the seques- 
 tration of several fellowships for the pur- 
 pose of completing the necessary repairs. 
 When the evil was removed, a new so- 
 ciety was to be established; and as 
 young men properly qualified were not 
 to be found in the college, aliens of the 
 most distinguished merit were sought 
 from other foundations. Mr. Martyn 
 was accordingly invited from Emmanuel, 
 to be elected fellow of the society at Sid- 
 ney, about the same time with Dr. Ellis- 
 ton, the late master, and the present ve- 
 nerable Dr. Hey. On the death of his 
 father, Mr. Martyn was chosen professor 
 of botany, and on the election of Dr. 
 Elliston to the mastership he was appoint- 
 ed one of the tutors of his College. In 
 both employments he exerted his talents 
 with assiduity : and as professor he read 
 lectures in English instead of Latin. In 
 1759 he took his degree of M.A. ; and in 
 1764 he held the office of proctor of the 
 University. In 1766 he took his degree 
 of bachelor of divinity, and soon after he 
 engaged in the laborious task of trans- 
 lating an account of the Antiquities of 
 Herculaneum, in which work he was as- 
 sisted by Dr. Lettice, fellow of the same 
 College. About 1772 he was presented 
 to the rectory of Luggershall in Bucking- 
 hamshire, which living he held for some 
 years together with that of little Marlow 
 in the same county. During part of this 
 period he resided at Triplow near Cam- 
 bridge, where he acted as private tutor to 
 four or five young men of fortune, one of 
 whom was the present Admiral Sir John 
 Borlase Warren, and with another, Mr. 
 Hartopp of Leicestershire, he travelled 
 through France, Switzerland and Italy. 
 After his return, Mr. Martyn resided 
 about three years on his living of Little 
 Marlow, from whence he removed to 
 London on accepting the honorary office 
 of secretary to the society for the improve-; 
 ment of naval architecture. About the 
 same time also he undertook, at the re- 
 quest of the booksellers, to enlarge Mil-

 ler's Gardener's Dictionary. Previously 
 to this concern, he had extended his du- 
 ties at Cambridge by voluntarily adding 
 to Botany the illustration of the Animal 
 and Mineral kingdoms as far as they 
 were connected with that interesting 
 science. His conduct and abilities gave 
 so much satisfaction to the government, 
 that Mr. Pitt, in his administration, ap- 
 pointed him Regius Professor, with a 
 liberal endowment. The publications 
 of Mr. Martyn are : 
 
 Plantas Cantabrigienses, or a Catalogue of Plants 
 ■which grow in the county of Cambridge, Bvo. 1763. —

 Maseres, Francis, Esq. F.R.S. F.A.S. 
 and Cursitor Baron of the Court of 
 Exchequer. This veteran in literature, 
 who is now an octogenarian, was bora 
 in London of a family originally French, 
 but settled here on the revocation of the 
 
 Edict of Nantes. He received his edu- 
 cation at Kingston upon Thames, under 
 the Rev. Mr. Wooddeson, after which 
 he became a member of Clare Hall, 
 Cambridge, where he obtained, as early 
 as 1752, one of the Chancellor's medals, 
 the other being conferred on the late 
 Bishop Porteus. From the university 
 Mr. Maseres removed to the Temple, 
 where in due course he was called to the 
 bar. His first appointment was that of 
 Attorney General of Quebec, where he 
 distinguished himself by his loyalty dur- 
 ing the American contest, and his zeal 
 for the interests of the province. On his 
 returSi to England he was made Cursitor 
 Baron of the Exchequer, which office he 
 now fills with great reputation. As a 
 mathematician, Baron Maseres holds an 
 elevated rank, nor has he been less emi- 
 nent in his professional character as a 
 sound lawyer. Few men have been 
 more liberal in the encouragement of 
 literature, and we could adduce several 
 instances in which he has borne the 
 entire expense of very heavy and valu- 
 able works, the whole of which he has 
 given to the authors or editors. His own 
 publications are : 
 
 A Dissertation on the negative sign in Algebra, 4to. 
 1759.— The Elements of Plane Trigonometry, with a 
 Dissertation on the Nature and Use of Logarithms, 
 8vo. 1760. — An Account of the proceedings of the

 with the present Dr. Seale, the member's 
 prize for the best dissertation in Latin 
 prose. In 1776 he gained one ofthe prizes

 with keen and discriminating criticism 
 on public men and opinions. It has been

 Maurice, Bev. Thpmas, M.A. He is 
 the son of a gentleman who presided 
 many years over the grammar school at 
 Hertford. Late in lile he married the 
 mother of our author, who with , another 
 son, on the death of the father, was left 
 to the care of the mother. An impru- 
 dent marriage on her part proved de- 
 structive to the fortune of the children, 
 and in this distressing state Dr. Parr' re- 
 ceived the subject of the present article 
 under his care and tuition. That emi- 
 nent scholar not only directed his studies 
 but afforded him a liberal support. From 
 Dr. Parr's seminary he removed to Uni- 
 versity College, Oxford, where he had 
 Sir William Scott for his tutor. On en- 
 tering into holy orders he became curate 
 of Woodford, and afterwards of Epping. 
 In 1786 he married the daughter of T. 
 Pearce, Esq. captain in the India service, 
 but lost his lady in 1790. Soon after his 
 marriage be entertained the design of 
 publishing the History of India, a work 
 of great magnitude, importance, and dif- 
 ficulty. Though he addressed the Court 
 of Directors on the subject he experienc- 
 ed but little encouragement, which how- 
 ever did not deter him from proceeding 
 in the undertaking, and in 1793 he pro- 
 duced the first volume solely at his own 
 expense. The only situation which Mr. 
 Maurice has obtained as the reward of 
 bis literary labors, has been theofficc of 
 assistant librarian to the British Mu- 
 seum; besides which it is understood 
 that he enjoys the pension formerly pos- 
 sessed by the poet Cowper. The writ.

 an early age, for when he was no more 
 than seventeen he officiated as assistant 
 in an academy at Burford, in Oxford- 
 shire. Having been employed to in- 
 struct the junior branches of the noble 
 family at Blenheim in writing, he ob- 
 tained so much favor as to get a title for 
 orders in 1781. He was at this time 
 master of a school at Woodstock, and in r 
 1789 the Duke of Marlborough gave him 
 the vicarage of Hurley, in Berkshire. 
 The same year the degree of LL.D. was 
 conferred on him by the University of 
 Aberdeen. He has since been succes- 
 sively presented to the living of Stones- 
 field and that of Woodstock, of which 
 last borough he has also served the office 
 of mayor. Dr. Mavor married in 1783,

 Meadley, George Wilson, was born 
 Jan. 1, 1774, at Sunderland, and educated 
 at the grammar school of Witton le Wear 
 in the county of Durham. In early life 
 he visited Italy, and afterwards resided 
 for a short time in Germany, and on the 
 neighbouring shores of the Baltic. Though 
 an occasional writer in some of the most 
 popular periodical works, he did not has- 
 tily obtrude himself on the public as an 
 avowed author. His first work was the 
 memoir of his friend the celebrated Dr. 
 Paley, which work being soon disposed 
 of, he republished it with considerable 
 additions, in 1810, in one volumeoctavo. 
 His other performances are,

 obtained a living in Northamptonshire, 
 where he published a periodical essay, - 
 without his name, entitled The Country 
 Spectator. Through his alliance with 
 the family of the Bishop of Lincoln, he 
 was presented to the Vicarage of St. Pan- 
 eras, Middlesex, and the Archdeaconry of 
 Huntingdon. In 1812, he experienced a 
 violent opposition in his parish, on account 
 of the exertions made by him to obtain 
 an act of parliament for the erection of 
 a new church. When it is considered that 
 the population of St. Pancras falls very 
 little shortof one hundred thousand souls, 
 and that the present church will not ac- 
 commodate a congregation of more than 
 three hundred, our astonishment is natu- 
 rally raised by the knowledge of the fact 
 that the Vicar was actually made an ob- 
 ject of malignant hostility for his lauda- 
 ble efforts, and that the zeal of the sec- 
 taries was such as to defeat the friends of 
 the establishment in this business. In 
 1814, Dr. Middleton was pitched upon by 
 government as the most proper person

 College, Where he made a rapid progress 
 in the mathematics, as. well as theolo- 
 
 fy, and the learned languages. In 1774 
 e was senior wrangler, at which time 
 he also gained the first mathematical 
 prize. In 1782, he served the office of 
 Proctor, and in 1783, being then Master 
 of Arts, he was nominated one of the 
 Taxors of the University, and also Pro- 
 fessor of Experimental Philosophy. At 
 the University he formed a close friend- 
 ship with Mr. Wilberforce, which proved 
 the occasion of an introduction to Mr. 
 Pitt, and these three eminent men, about 
 1787, made a tour together on the conti- 
 nent. In 1788, Mr. Milner was elected 
 President of Queen's College, on which 
 occasion he took his doctor's degree. The 
 same year he was advanced to the Dean- 
 ry of Carlisle, and in 1792, served the 
 office of Vice-chancellor. In 1798, the 
 Doctor was made Lucasian Professor of 
 Mathematics on the death of Dr. Waring, 
 and the duties of that chair, as well as 
 those of every other station, he has con- 
 tinued to discharge with, equal dilio-ence 
 and ability. The Dean of Carlisle 3 is -.a 
 very animated preacher, though in the 
 opinion of many, the zeal which he dis- 
 covers in behalf of high Calvinism, tends, 
 in some degree, to lessen the value of his 
 public labors. He has edited the works 
 of his brother with a commendable eulo- 
 gy on his principles and talents, besides 
 which the -Dean has published some pa- 
 pers in the Philosophical Transactions, 
 and the following separate performances: 
 
 Animadversions on Dr.Haweis's History of the Church 
 of Christ, 8vo. 1800.— Strictures on some of the Pub- 
 lications of the Rev. Herbert Marsh, intended as a 
 Reply to his Objections against the Bible Society,

 ^ Milner, John, D.D. F.A.S. Bishop of 
 Castaballa, and Vicar Apostolic of the

 educated at St. Omer's, and on taking or^ 
 ders was appointed priest of a congrega- 
 tion at Winchester, where he distinguish- 
 ed himself by his controversial writings 
 and his antiquarian researches. For the 
 first of these he was consecrated a bishop 
 in partibus infidelium by the Court of 
 Rome, and on the agitation of the Catho- 
 lic Question, the Irish priesthood vested 
 him with 4he office of agent for the ma- 
 nagement of their cause in England: but 
 his tergiversation in the matter of the 
 Veto, and his hierarchical assumptions, 
 gave so much offence to the Catholics on 
 tfeis side of the water, as to occasion some

 Moore, Thomas, Esq. late of the Mid- 
 dle Temple, Barrister at Law. This cele- 
 brated writer is a native of Ireland, and 
 was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, 
 after which he came to London, with a 
 view of making the law his profession. 
 During his residence at the Temple, as a 
 student,, he employed himself in a poeti- 
 cal version of Anacreon, which experi- 
 enced a very favorable reception from 
 the public, and certainly not more than 
 ilie translation deserved, which is both 
 
 faithful and elegant. From that time 
 Mr. Moore seems to have devoted him- 
 self to literature with veryunequal degrees 
 of credit, for some of his productions, it 
 must be admitted, are such as to call up 
 a blush on the cheek of modesty, so that it 
 will not be in his power, at the close of his 
 mortal career, to fake a retrospect of his 
 labors and say with the amiable Thomson, 
 " there is not a line which I could wish 
 to blot." Of this our author seems to be 
 aware, for some of his most repreheusi- 
 ble performances have been sent into 
 the world under fictitious names, but 
 with such little solicitude for conceal-* 
 ment, that we believe he has. never once 
 disavowed any of them. His works are,

 More, Hannah, This distinguished 
 ornament of her sex was one of the five 
 daughters of a village school-masterin the 
 parish of Hanham, near Bristol. • Her 
 parents were so meanly situated as to be 
 incapable of giving her that education 
 which she desired. The casual reading 
 of an odd volume of Richardson's Pame- 
 la, excited a thirst of knowledge which 
 could not be allayed, and the, kindness of 
 some ladies in the neighbourhood ena- 
 bled her to gratify her inclinations. Hey

 improvement was so rapid as to attract 
 general notice, and among others who 
 distinguished themselves as her friends, 
 was the late Dr. Stonhouse of Bristol, 
 who interested himself so zealously in her 
 behalf as to enable her to setup a school, 
 which prospered greatly under her ma- 
 nagement and that of her sisters. By 
 the Doctor's kindness, she was intro- 
 duced to the acquaintance of Mr. Gar- 
 rick, who encouraged her to write for the 
 stage. Her performances in this line 
 became very popular, but after some years 
 the religious views of Miss More took so 
 serious a turn as to ptoduce a declaration 
 in the preface -to the third volume of her 
 works, tliat she did not consider the 
 stage, in its present state, as becoming 
 the appearance or countenance of a Chris- 
 tian, on which: account she thought pro- 
 per to renounce her dramatic productions 
 in any other light than as mere poems. 
 Having realized -an independence by an 
 honorable profession and the fruits of 
 her pen, this lady, with her sisters, re- 
 tired, about twenty years ago, from Bris- 
 tol to Mendip, where amongst the colliers 
 and the laborers in the lead works, they 
 have effected a wonderful - alteration, 
 by erecting and superintending charity 
 schools. Even this good work, however, 
 could not escape opposition, and sorry 
 we are to record, that the attack came 
 from a quarter which ought to have pro- 
 vided the most prompt and zealous sup- 
 port to the disinterested and Christian 
 undertaking. A sharp controversy was 
 carried on by a neighbouring clergyman 
 against the schools, and several others in 
 their favor: but, 'to the honor of the 
 founder herself, she took no part in the 
 strife, leaving. the fruits to justify both' 
 her motives and her conduct. When the 
 education of the Princess Charlotte be- 
 came an object of serious attention to 
 her illustrious friends, Mrs. Hannah 
 More was consulted by the first lady in 
 the kingdom, on which occasion she 
 published a work which was deservedly 
 Stamped with the royal approbation, as 
 well as that of the world at large. For 
 some years past, this valuable woman has 
 been confined' almost wholly to her bed, by 
 an excruciating illness, notwithstanding 
 which writing is her chief delight, and 
 in this condition she has-actually pro- 
 duced some of her most esteemed per- 
 formances, particularly a religious novel, 
 calculated to render that species of lite- 
 rary amusement more serviceable to the 
 Lit. Cat. 
 
 diffusion of sound principles and virtuous 
 practice than seems generally to have 
 teen consulted in works of fiction. The 
 following list of the writings of Mrs. 
 More, is a permanent testimony of the 
 purity of her sentiments, the strength 
 of her understanding, and the versatility 
 of her powers.

 tracts and fugitive pieces of great merit ; but we know 
 of many* others scattered in various directions, nolle of 
 whicli have a place in that collection. We cannot 
 close this article without observing that this excellent 
 woman enumerated among her most intimate friends, 
 the late Dr. Johnson, Bishop Porteus,Sir Joshua Rey- 
 nolds, Dr. Bcattie, and Mrs. Montague, so that her 
 memoirs will, at a future -period, be one of the most 
 interesting pieces of biography in the history of lite- 
 rature.

 born in the county of Durham. His fa- 
 ther died when he was very young, and 
 the care of his education devolved on his 
 maternal uncle Mr. Maddison, an emi- 
 nent stock broker, who sent him to Soho 
 Academy, where "he was a school-fellow 
 with Holman, and had a part in the plays 
 which were performed occasionally at 
 that seminary. Mr. Morton afterwards 
 became a member of Lincoln's Inn; but 
 he has been more successful with the

 Moseley, Benjamin, M.D. Physician 
 to Chelsea Hospital, &c. This gentle- 
 man was for some years an apothecary 
 at Jamaica, from which island he thought 
 it expedient to repair to the British capi- 
 tal, where he commenced his course as, 
 a physician, and having the good kick to 
 attend a nobleman high in office who la- 
 bored under a nervous complaint, he 
 procured that appointment which he 
 now holds. The Doctor has published 
 some books of value, but the coarse viru- 
 lence with which he attacked the dis- 
 covery of vaccination, and aspersed 
 those who espoused the practice, indicates 
 a little mind, and one that has not been 
 imbued with the true spirit of liberality 
 and science., His performances are,

 Moser, Joseph, Esq, one of His Majes-

 of Middlesex. ' This gentleman is de- 
 scended of a Swiss family, and was born 
 in Greek Street, Soho, in 1748, being the 
 son of Hans Jacob Moser, an artist. Our 
 author was taken when young from 
 school, and placed under his uncle G. M. 
 Moser, Esq. late keeper' of the Royal 
 Academy, who intended him for the pro- 
 fession of painting' in enamel. The ne- 
 phew, however, had not the same incli- 
 nation, though he continued in the aca- 
 demy till his marriage in 1780 with the 
 daughter of an eminent surgeon in Hol- 
 ies Street, Cavendish Square. From that 
 time Mr. Moser relinquished painting, and 
 devoted himself to literature; but about 
 the year 1794, he was appointed a magis- 
 trate for the city of Westminster. He 
 sat first in the office in Queen Square, 
 but on the death of Serjeant Kirby, he 
 removed to that in Worship Street. Mr. 
 Moser has been a leading correspondent 
 in the European Magazine and other pe- 
 riodical publications. His separate per- 
 formances are,

 at Ayr, and succeeded. Here he conti- 
 nued some years with reputation, but a 
 desire of extending his knowledge of 
 the world, induced him to quit that 
 station, and he came to London. After 
 a short stay here he went to Paris, 
 where he formed an intimacy with Colo- 
 nel Fullarton, then secretary to the Bri- 
 ' tish embassy, which friendship has sub- 
 sisted ever since, and been very advan- 
 tageous to our author, who on his return 
 to London undertook to teach the French 
 language in which line he has had great 
 success. He has also had much prac- 
 tice in the instruction of foreigners, who 
 wanted to acquire a knowledge of 
 English,and amongothers who have been 
 indebted to him, was the celebrated 
 Talleyrand during his residence as an 
 emigrant in this country. Mr. Murdoch

 Murray, Chari.es, a comedian, was 
 born at Cheshunt, in Hertfordshire, 1 in 
 1754. His father, Sir John Murray, ren- 
 ' dered himself conspicuous as Secretary 
 to the Pretender, in 1745, for which he 
 was tried and condemned, but received 
 the royal pardon. Our author, having 
 received an excellent education, was 
 placed under a medical practitioner in 
 London, after which he became a sur- 
 geon's mate in the sea service. In 1774, 
 he performed with so much applause at 
 a private theatre in Liverpool, that he 
 immediately relinquished his former pro- 
 
 fession, and devoted himself to the stage. 
 His first public appearance was at 1fork; 
 under the anagrammatized name of Ray- 
 mur ; next he entered into the Norwich 
 company, from whence he removed to 
 Bath, where he became very popular. In 
 1796, he made his debut at Covent- 
 garderi as Shylock, and in that theatre 
 he has continued ever since. Mr. Mur-

 London, in 1762, and was educated at 
 Westminster School, where he confirmed 
 till the year 1779, and then removed to 
 Christ Church, Oxford, under the tui-~ 
 tion of Dr. Randolph, the late -Bishop of 
 London. After taking his Bachelor's 
 degree, he was elected a Fellow of Mer- 
 ton College, in 1788, but did not take 
 his Master's degree till the year follow- 
 ing. In 1792, he entered into holy 
 orders, and was soon afterwards pre- 
 sented to the cure of St. Peter's.in the 
 .East by the college of which he was a 
 member, and where he officiated for 
 some years, with great and deserved 
 popularity. He vacated his fellowship 
 in 1797, on his, marriage with the Lady 
 Georgiana Charlotte Spencer, third 
 daughter of the Duke of Marlborough, 
 and soon after was presented by the late 
 ■Archbishop of Canterbury, to the Rec- 
 tory of Biddenden, where for the most 
 part he has continued to reside ever 
 since. On the death of Lady Charlotte, 
 in 1802, he married Miss Cordelia 
 Adams, second daughter of Thomas 
 Adams, Esc[. of Osbornes, near Cran- 
 brook, by whom, as well as by the 
 former, he has issue. In the last con- 
 vocation he was appointed one of the 
 Proctors to represent the_ clergy ef the 
 diocese of Canterbury, and in 1814, the 
 Prince Regent very judiciously gave him 
 the Professorship of Modern History, on 
 which occasion he took his degree of- 
 D.D. His publications are,

 musical composer. He received his edu- 
 cation at Westminster School, on the 
 
 foundation, and from thence removed to 
 Christ Church, Oxford, where he pro- 
 ceeded to his Master's degree, in 1778. 
 On entering into orders he obtained the 
 Rectory of Sharnford, besides which, he 
 was appointed preacher of Lincoln's 
 Inn, and Assistant Librarian of the

 Nichols, John, F.A.S. This literary 
 veteran was born at Islington, Feb. 2, 
 
 1744-5, and received his education at an 
 academy kept in that village by Mr: 
 Shield, a man of learning, who had been- 
 bred at the university of Edinburgh. 
 The original destination of Mr. Nichols 
 was the royal navy, under the care of his 
 maternal uncle, Lieutenant Wilmot, of 
 the Bellona ; but the death of that friend 
 put a stop to the design, and om* author, 
 \before the age of thirteen, was placed in 
 the' printing office of the celebrated Mr. 
 Bowyer, who in a short time entrusted 
 him with his confidence, and at length 
 with the management of his business; 
 In 1765, Mr. Nichols was sent to Cam- 
 bridge to treat with that University for 
 a lease of their exclusive privilege of 
 printing; but that body having resolved' 
 to retain the property wholly in their 
 own hands, he returned to London and 
 entered into partnership with his master, 
 who in 1767 removed from White Friars 
 to Bed Lion Fassage, Fleet Street, where 
 this concern has ever since remained^ 
 In August, 1778, the year after the death 
 of Mr. Bowyer, his successor became 
 associated with Mr. David Henry in tht 
 management of the Gentleman's Maga- 
 zine, and from that time not a number 
 has been published without exhibiting 
 proofs of his talents and industry. In 
 1781, Mr.Nichols was elected amemberof 
 the Society of Antiquaries at Edinburgh, 
 and in 1785 he received the same mark 
 of distinction from the Antiquarian So- 
 ciety at Perth. In December, 1784, he 
 was elected into the Common Council for 
 the ward of Farringdon without, which 
 station, with slight interruptions, he- 
 continued till the year 1801, and during 
 that period he was appointed one of the 
 deputies of the ward. In 1804 he was 
 elected Master of the Stationers' Com- 
 pany. On the 8th of January, 1807, he 
 had the misfortune of breaking one »f 
 his thighs, and on the 8th of February, 
 1808, he experienced a greater calamity 
 in the destruction of his printing office 
 by fire.^ By this misfortune many valu- 
 able works, in a state of progress for pub- 
 lication, fell a prey to the flames j but 
 the indefatigable spirit of the printer and 
 editor enabled him to repair the evil and 
 to renew his engagements with the pub- 
 lic, which he has most honorably ful- 
 filled. In 1766, Mr. Nichols married 
 Anne, daughter of Mr. William Cradock 
 of Leicester, by whom he had two daugh-' 
 ters, who are still living. On the death 
 of his first wife he married the daughter 
 of Mr. William Green of Hinckley, by 
 
1814.

 Nicholson, William, is the son of a 
 solicitor in the Temple, and born in Lon- 
 don in 1753. He received his education 
 at a school in the north of Yorkshire, 
 ■jyhich he left at the age of sixteen and 
 made two voyages in the East India ser- 
 vice till 1773. In 1776, he was engaged 
 in commercial business on the continent 
 for the late Mr. Wedgewood, soon after 
 which he devoted himself wholly to lite- 
 rary and scientific pursuits. About the 
 year 1775, he opened a seminary tor 
 twenty pupils in Soho Square, which he 
 carried on several years with reputation. 
 Mr. .Nicholson directed the plan of the 
 West Middlesex Water Works, and he 
 has also succeeded in carrying into effect 
 another for' the supply of Portsmouth 
 and Gosport. He has since been en» 
 
 faged in 'a similar undertaking lor the

 Northcote, James, Esq. R. A- This 
 excellent artist was born at Plymouth in 
 1746, and was intended by his father, a 
 respectable watch-maker of that town, 
 for the same line of business. An un- 
 conquerable propensity to the fine arts, 
 however, frustrated the paternal views, 
 and being encouraged in his inclination 
 by the flattering notice taken of his 
 early productions, he was led to pursue 
 the practice of drawing and painting, 
 with such assiduity, that Dr. John Mudge, 
 the physician, and a friend of the family, 
 kindly offered to recommend him as a 
 scholar to Sir Joshua Reynolds. This 
 proposal being gratefully accepted, and 
 the consent of that great master obtained, 
 Mr. Northcote repaired from Plymouth to 
 London in 1771, and became domesti- 
 cated with Sir Joshua, as a disciple, on 
 the most agreeable terms, and to their 
 mutual satisfaction. In May, 1776, Mr. 
 Northcote quitted that delightful man- 
 sion, thinking it high time to clo some- 
 thing for ^himself, in which idea his 
 preceptor concurred, saying, " I hope we 
 shall assist each other as long as we 
 live," , Our present concern is with this 
 gentleman in his character as an author 
 and not as a painter ; we shall, therefore, 
 only observe, that, after spending some 
 time in the country, he set up his staff 
 in London, to make use of a phrase of 
 his great instructor, and there rose to the 
 highest honours of his profession. His 
 literary performances are, 
 
 Various Papers in the Artist, vol. 1, as. No. 2. 
 On Originality in Painting; imitators and collectors. 
 4. A Letter from a Disappointed Genius ; Character 
 of John Opie, K. A. 19. A Second Letter from a

 tlie Slighted Beauty, an allegory. — He also wrote the 
 Biographical Memoirs of Sir Joshua Reynolds, in toe 
 fourth number of the Fine Arts of the English School. 
 This sketch, he expanded afterwards into a substan- 
 tial volume, entitled Memoirs of Sir Joshua Rey- 
 nolds, Knt. comprising anecdotes of many distin- 
 guished persons, his contemporaries, and a brief 
 Analysis of his Discourses j to which are added,

 Northmore, Thomas, Esq. F. A.S, 
 This gentleman was born near Exeter,

 whom he seems to have imbibed much 
 learning, mixed with some extravagance. 
 Mr. Northmore took his degree of master 
 of arts, and then retired to cultivate his 
 paternal estate, where he Has continued 
 to reside ever since, devoting much of 
 
 his time to mechanics, literature, and 
 politics. His works are,

 ford", in Ireland, about the year 1748. 
 Being of a catholic family, his father, 
 who was a farmer, sent him, with his 
 brother John, to St. Omer's, with a view" 
 to the priesthood. The latter complied 
 with his father's wishes, but Thomas, 
 having taken the liberty of investigating 
 the grounds of his religion, saw reasons 
 enough for renouncing the creed in which 
 he had .been bred in favour of that of ths 
 established church. He also entered into 
 orders in that communion ; and, it is a 
 singular fact, that the two brothers offi- 
 ciated, after a lapse of years, in the same 
 diocese, the one as a zealous parish priest 
 of the Romish persuasion, and the other 
 a prelate of the Protestant establishment. 
 Mr. O'Beirne, of whom we are now 
 speaking, became, at the commencement 
 of the American war, chaplain in the 
 fleet under Lord Howe, with whom he 
 was a great favourite, as well as with his 
 brother the general. This led to a con- 
 nexion with the late Duke of Portland, 
 whom he accompanied as private secre- 
 tary to Ireland in 1785. On that occa- 
 sion, however, Dr. O'Beirne obtained no 
 preferment ; but the year following his 
 patron presented him to two valuable 
 living's in Northumberland and Cumber- 
 land. When Earl Fitzwilliam went to 
 Ireland he took the doctor with him as 
 his first chaplain ; soon after which he 
 was promoted to the bishopric of Ossory, 
 from which, on the death of Dr. Maxwell, 
 he was translated to the see of Meath. 
 This bishop has been distinguished as a 
 political writer of great eminence, and it 
 is but justice to say, that his conduct as 
 a prelate hath been both liberal and ex- 
 emplary. His publications, with and 
 without his name, are as follow : 
 
 The Crucifixion, a poem, 4to. 1776.— The Generous 
 Impostor, a comedy, 8vo. 1780. — Series of Essays in 
 a daily newspaper, under the signature of a country 
 gentleman, 1780. — A short History of the last Session 
 of Parliament, anonymous, 8Vo.— Considerations on 
 the late Disturbances by a consistent Whig, 8vo. 
 1781-. — Considerations on the Principles of Naval 
 'Disciplineaud Courts Martial, 8vo. 1781.— The Ways 
 of God to be vindicated only by the Word of God, 
 a sermon, 8vo. 1804. — A Charge delivered to the 
 Clergy of his Diocese, 8vo. 1805. — A Sermon preached 
 in the parish church of Kells, Dec. 5, 1805.— A 
 Sermon preached in the chapel of the Magdalen 
 Hospital, April 23, 1807, 8vo. — Sermons on important 
 Subjects, with Charges, 8vo. 181S. 
 
 O'Brien, William, a gentleman who 
 is descended from an ancient family in 
 Ireland, remarkable for their attachment 
 to the cause of James the Second, in 
 whose service they sacrificed their pro- 
 
 perty after the capitulation of Limerick.' 
 As early as 1758 our author made his 
 appearance on the boards of Drur.y-lane 
 Theatre, where he became a very popular 
 comedian. In 1764, he married Lady 
 Susan Sarah Louisa Slrangeways, eldest 
 daughter of Stephen first Earl of Ilchester^ 
 by virtue of which union he obtained the 
 office of receiver-general- of Dorsetshire. 
 This veteran is the author of, 
 
 Cross Purposes, a farce, fivo. 1772. — -The Duel, com. 
 8»o. 1773. 
 
 O'Bkyen, Denis, a native of Ireland, 
 who has distinguished himself as a 
 zealous political partizan on the side of 
 Mr. Fox, with whom he lived on terms 
 of great intimacy ; and on the change of 
 ministry in 1806 was appointed to the 
 sinecure office of deputy-paymaster-gene» 
 ral, to which was added, shortly after, 
 the still more lucrative one of marshal of 
 the admiralty at the Cape of Good Hope, 
 worth, it is said, four thousand a year. 
 This fortunate gentleman is the author 
 of a comedy acted at the Haymarkefc 
 Theatre, but not printed; entitled, " A 
 Friend in need is a Friend indeed." This 
 piece went through eight successive 
 nights, but was then withdrawn in con- 
 sequence of a violent quarrel between 
 the author and the elder Colinan. Mr. 
 O'Bryen's political performances are, 
 
 Defence of the Earl of Shelbnrne, which is an ironical 
 pamphlet, and not devoid of humour, 8vo. 1783. — A 
 Gleam of Comfort to this distracted Empire, 8vo. 
 1785. — About this time he published two papers 
 called the Reasoner, one of which has been falselj 
 ascribed to Lord Erskine by some modern editors, 
 and the other, with equal justice, to Mr. Sheridan. — 
 A View of the Commercial ' Treaty with France 
 negotiated by Mr. Eden, afterwards Lord Auckland. 
 &vo. 1786. — The Prospect before us, a pamphlet on 
 the subject of the ' Regency, 8vo. 1788. This was 
 reprinted-artfully enough, and adapted to the return 
 o*f the King's malady in 1810, under the title of the 
 Regency Question. — Lines written at Twickenham; 
 4to. 1788. — TJtrum Horum ? The Government or the 
 Country, 8vo. 1796. 
 
 O'Connor, Arthur, a personage who 
 at one time contrived to render himself 4 ' 
 more conspicuous than usually happens 
 even to the most violent demagogues. 
 Born of an ancient family, descended, as 
 they boast, from the original monarchs 
 of Ireland, he entered into confederacies 
 for the purpose of shaking off the con-i 
 nexion with England ; but by a preposter- 
 ous act of party violence he endeavoured 
 at the same time to render his country a 
 province of France. In the prosecution 
 of this patriotic design, however, he was 
 thwarted by the vigilance of government,

 ■who caused him and his associates to he 
 apprehended in the county of Kent. One 
 of the party was convicted and executed, 
 and though O'Connor escaped for the 
 want of positive evidence at that time, 
 yet, when prosecuted lor his share in the 
 Irish rebellion, he made an ample con- 
 fession of bis guilt to save his life. After 
 this he hecame a voluntary exile in 
 France, where he lived in obscurity and 
 contempt, and what ha* been his fortune 
 since the counter-revolution we profess 
 liotto-know. He has written, 
 
 Letter to the Earl o f Carlisle, in reply to Earl Fitz-*

 He has distingui-hed himself with so 
 much freedom against the hierarchical 
 pretensions of the Irish prelacy unci the 
 papal influence, besides contending in 
 Support of the veto as a necessary conces- 
 sion to the government, that most of the 
 zealots of his persuasion have reproached 
 him, with being an apostate. His works

 O'Keefe, John. This, veteran drama- 
 i- -<•■-- fist was born at Dublin in 1746. Being 
 of a Catholic family he was committed to 
 the tuition of Father Austin, an Irish 
 Jesuit of considerable learning, and cele- 
 brated for his eloquence. Under him hp 
 made a proficiency in French and the 
 Classics. He also acquired a taste, for 
 drawing, which he cultivated at the 
 academy with so much success, chat his 
 friends indulged eager expectations of 
 his attaining to a degree of eminence in 
 that art. But a volatility ordispositipn, 
 and a 'defect in his sight, drew, him off 
 from that pursuit. After this he fell into 
 the company of some theatrical spouters, 
 whose conversation had such an effect 
 upon him, that he wrote a comedy of five 
 acts at the age of fifteen. Becoming ac- 
 quainted with Mossop, he was encouraged 
 by him to attempt the stage at Dublin, 
 where he was received in a very flatter- 
 ing manner, and he continued there with 
 reputation about twelve years,. During 
 this period he produced several dramatic 
 pieces, some of which had such success, 
 that the author was tempted to visit 
 London, where, though bis services as a 
 -performer were rejected, he had the good 
 fortune to become a favorite writer for 
 the stage. In 1800, Mr. O'Keefe, being 
 reduced by blindness and other misfor- 
 tunes to a state of great embarrassment, 
 obtained a benefit at Covent Garden 
 Theatre, and, at the end of the perform- 
 ance, he delivered a poetical address, 
 in which humor and pathos were very 
 happily' blended. The printed works of 
 this lively writer are as follow:

 at an early age, having composed poems, 
 dramatic pieces, and novels, before other 
 young ladies of her time of life have usu- 
 ally completed their education. On the 
 8th of May, 1798, Mi,ss Alderson became 
 the wife of Mr. Opie, and on his death, in

 Oulton, Whalley Chamberlain, is

 "duced several dramatic pieces at the 
 theatres of his native city, which 
 were well received. This success in- 
 duced him to visit London, where he 
 contracted an intimacy with the late Mr. 
 Palmer, for whose theatre, in Wellclose 
 Square, he wrote some pieces, particu- 
 larly the Burletta of Hobson's Choice, or 
 Thespis in Distress, which provoked the 
 resentment of the managers of the regu-

 Ouseley, Sir William, Knt. LL.D. 
 F.R.S. Edinb. Member' of the Asiatic 
 Society at Calcutta, and late Private 
 Secretary to the Embassy from the Engr 
 lish Government to the Court of Persia. 
 This respectable scholar is a native. of 
 Monmouthshire, and was born in 1771. 
 
 His education was entirely private ; and 
 in 1787 he visited Paris with a view of 
 perfecting himself in the French lan- 
 guage. The year following he purchased 
 a cornetcy in the 8th regiment of dra*. 
 goons, which regiment he joined in Ire- 
 land, and rose soon after to the rank of 
 Lieutenant. The military life is ill 
 adapted for the prosecution of abstruse 
 studies, yet, in this situation, our author 
 devoted his leisure hours with great assi- 
 duity "and success to the acquisition of 
 the Eastern languages. In 1794, he 
 served in the campaign under the Duke 
 of York; but the same year he sold his 
 commission, and resided some time in 
 the University of Leyden, where he 
 renewed his Oriental studies, the result 
 of which appeared the next year in the 
 publication of his Persian Miscellanies. 
 About this period, Mr. Ouseley obtained 
 the rank of Major in the Ayrshire regi- 
 ment of fencible dragoons, which he 
 joined at Carlisle, where, in 1796, he 
 married the daughter of Colonel John 
 Irvin"-. His regiment being sometime 
 after °reduceti, he' fixed his residence in 
 London, following his favorite pursuits 
 with unabated ardour, and for which 
 he received the degree of Doctor of 
 Laws from the University of Dublin. 
 On this occasion he visited that capi- 
 tal, and while there, had the farther 
 distinction of knighthood" conferred on 
 him by the Lord Lieutenant, the late 
 Marquis Cornwallis. By the University 
 of Rostock, Sir William was created a 
 Doctor in Philosophy. He was also 
 elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of 
 Edinburgh, and a Member of the Royal 
 Academy of Sciences at Gottingen, and 
 of other learned bodies. When an inter- 
 course was opened with the Court of 
 Persia, Sir William was selected as a 
 proper person to fill the office of secretary 
 to the embassy, and this, we believe, 
 is the only official situation to which he 
 has been appointed. His works are, 
 
 Persian Miscellanies, an Essay to facilitate the readr 
 ing of Persian Manuscripts, 4to. 1785— Oriental Col- 
 lections,' 3 v. 4to. 1797— Epitome of the Ancient

 law as a profession, and' was placed un- 
 der an eminent counsel in the convey- 
 ancing line. Having . completed the 
 usual course of terms he 1 was called to 
 the bar, and soon acquired notice by his 
 acuteness in mercantile law and cases of 
 marine insurance. The incorruptible in- 
 tegrity of his principles and the urbanity 
 ofhis manners have also essentially con- 
 tributed to his advancement, and he will 
 most probably be elevated to the judicial 
 bench on the next vacancy. He has

 removed to Emmanuel College, Cam- 
 bridge: .but before he was twenty, he ' 
 became assistant in the school where he 
 had been bred. On the death of Dr. 
 Sumner, the master, he offered himself 
 as candidate to succeed him, but being 
 rejected on account of his youth, he re- 
 moved from Harrow and opened a semi-? 
 nary at Stanmore. In 1769 he entered 
 into orders, and in 1777 he went to Cot-

 Chester on being appointed master of an 
 endowed grammar school' in that town. 
 The year following, however, he removed 
 to Norwich, to superintend a similar es- 
 tablishment in that city. In 1781 he 
 took his doctor's degree at Cambridge, 
 and in 1783 Bishop Lovvth bestowed upon 
 him a prebend in the Cathedral of St. 
 Paul. In 1785 Lady Traffoid presented 
 him to the perpetual curacy of Hatton, 
 near Warwick, to which place he retired 
 shortly after, adding to his parochial du- 
 ties the charge of a few private pupils. 
 The riots at-Birmingham in 1791, had 
 nearly proved destructive to the property 
 of Dr. Parr, in consequence of his inti- 
 macy with Dr. Priestley, and perhaps on 
 account of his known political senti- 
 ments. Luckily, however, the mischie- 
 vous design of the mob was frustrated 
 in this instance ; and the next year Dr. 
 Parr exchanged the curacy of Hatton for 
 the rectory of Wadenhoe in Northamp- 
 tonshire. Early in 1793 he embarked as 
 a voluntary writer in the British Critic, 
 ■where hereviewed Dr. Combe's Variorum 
 Edition of Horace, with such acuteness 
 and learning as completely demolished 
 that showy and expensive work. This 
 critique has been reprinted in the Classical 
 Journal, with additions. This produced 
 a bitter attack on the Doctor, by the 
 Editor, who made no scruple of charg- 
 ing him by name as the critic. To this 
 a reply was made, in which the lash 
 was repeated with still greater severity. 
 In 1802 Dr. Parr was presented, by Sir

 Peel and Yates subscribed 10,0001. for

 Peltier, John. This gentleman, a

 revolution broke out; and began writing 
 against its principles as early as the 
 month of August, 1789, at which time he 
 published a pamphlet which ran through 
 
 many editions, against the Constituent 
 Assembly, under the title of " Sauve* 
 nous ou Sauvez vous." Shortly after, he 
 denounced the Puke d'Orleans and Mi- 
 rabeau as the chief authors of the exces-t 
 ses committed by the mob at Versailles, 
 on the 5th of October, in another pam- 
 phlet intitled, " Domine Salvum fac Re- 
 gem." After this he began, a course of 
 periodical publications, either in Paris 
 or in London, where he has resided since 
 the month of September 1792. His prin- 
 cipal publications are,

 against the Framers of the Deniocratico-Royal Con- 
 stitution of 1791. a -work now become extremely scarce : 
 and the having it in their possession was the cause of

 dical work, a n u mber of which has been published every 
 ten days since 1803 : it comprises, now, 50 volumes in 
 8vq. This work obtained great celebrity from a pro- 
 secution which the minister of Buonaparte, then first 
 consul, caused the British Government to institute 
 against the author for libellous matter. A verdict of 
 guilty was given against him in the Court of King's 
 Bench, though he was defendedby Sir J. Mackintosh: 
 but as the trial took place on the very day when war 
 was renewed between France and England, M. Peltier 
 was never brought up for judgment. Though this 
 indefatigable writer has published for the cause of his 
 King more ' than 130 volumes of. original works and 
 translations, it does not seem, that his perseverance 
 and talents have procured him the least favor of the 
 French Court, as he has constantly remained in this 
 country, where, we understand, he receives avery mo- 
 derate pension from our government. M. Peltier has 
 been for many years the confidential Charge d'Affaires 
 of the King of Hayti, Henry Christophe, and he is A 
 warm friend to the abolition of the slave trade.

 which, at the commencement of the

 nation of republican doctrines. For a 
 libel in this journal, the publisher was 
 prosecuted and convicted, on which he 
 withdrew to Paris, where he contracted 
 an intimacy with Thomas Paine, and 
 other demagogues ; but the reign of ter- 
 ror made that capital too dangerous for 
 him, and, after a short confinement, he re- 
 turned to England, where he was taken 
 up on the outlawry which he had incur- 
 red by not having appeared for judgment

 mentaries of Blackstone, were given to 
 those of Caesar. This inclination to mili- 
 tary studies led him at last to relinquish 
 the law, and in 1809 he became private 
 secretary to Lord Sheffield, and two years 
 afterwards he obtained an appointment 
 under government, at which time he ex- 
 erted himself in endeavouring to esta- 
 blish a benefit fund for officers, the idea 
 of which was suggested by Colonel Ro- 
 berts. But after receiving considerable 
 encouragement from persons of high rank 
 in the profession, the plan was relin- 
 quished, owing to the natural jealousy of 
 ministers, that such an association might 
 possibly be of dangerous consequence. 
 Mr. Philippart also distinguished himself

 Phillips, Sir Richard, Knt. was bora 
 in London in 1768, and educated first at 
 the school in Soho Square, and next at 
 Chiswick. At an early period he con- 
 ceived an aversion to animal food, in 
 an abstinence from which he has conti- 
 nued to persevere ever since. He was 
 brought up under his uncle, a brewer in 
 Oxford Street, butin 1786, he becamepart- 
 nerin the management of a school at Ches- 
 ter, from whence he removed, two year* 
 afterwards, to Leicester, where, in 1790, 
 he opened a bookseller's shop and began 
 to publish the Leicester Herald. In 1792 
 he distinguished himself by his concern 
 in several canals, towards which he was 
 a subscriber on paper, and turned his en- 
 terprizing schemes to some advantage. 
 The following year he was prosecuted Tor 
 selling Paine's Rights of Man, and having 
 been found guilty, was sentenced to be 
 imprisoned twelve months in Leicester 
 gaol. In 1795 his house and printing 
 office were consumed by fire, soon after 
 which he came to London, and was ena- 
 bled by the democratic party to set up 
 the Monthly Magazine, which was de- 
 signed to be the organ of that faction, and 
 in which cause it has continued to ope- 
 rate effectually enough from the period 
 of its commencement to the present hour. 
 The success which the publisher expe- 
 rienced in this work induced him to 
 embark pretty largely, first in the ho- 
 siery, and next in the bookselling busi- 
 ness, so that he found it expedient to

 Teraove from St. Paul's Church Yard to 
 New Bridge Street, where he carried on 
 a very extensive concern. In 1807, he 
 was chosen, by the management of his 
 friends, one of the Sheriffs of the city of 
 London, and on going up with an address 
 in behalf of Ministers, he accepted the ho- 
 nor of knighthood, to the great astonish- 
 ment of his republican friends. After 
 various manoeuvres to support his esta- 
 blishment, his name appeared in the Ga- 
 zette, and for some months he led a life 
 of obscurity at Pimlico, but on obtaining 
 his certificate, he . again burst forth as a 
 meteor in the- sphere of literature. His 
 Magazine having been purchased in by 
 some of his friends, he became the avow- 
 ed editor of that , publication, the com- 
 mon sewer of virulent politics and infi- 
 delity. This redoubtable personage, 
 besides his diatribes in the Magazine

 quest, to maintain the ihternal polity of 
 tne colony as it stood before it became 
 a British settlement. Private pique and • 
 resentment discovered a, ground of accu- 
 sation against him in the punishment in- 
 flicted upon a woman of color by the laws 
 and authorities of the island; and, strange 
 to say, the Governor was tried in the court 
 of King's Bench on a charge of cruelty 
 inflicted by others. Judgment, however, 
 was arrested, and this malicious affair 
 ended to the disgrace of those by whom 
 it was instituted. The General greatly

 Dr. Kippis. At this time he kept a board- 
 ing school, but about the year 17t9 he 
 removed to Stoke Newington, and soon 
 after to Edmonton. Being of a change- 
 able disposition, he gave up his academy 
 and went to the West of England, where 
 he had the charge of a dissenting congre- 
 
 Jjation; but returned again to the metropo- 
 ls, in 1791, and practised medicine, 
 with little or no success. After this, his 
 wife opened a school at Edmonton, from 
 whence the doctor was obliged to with- 
 draw on a charge which affected him 
 ■very seriously; From that period he has 
 led a life of obscurity somewhere in Dor-' 
 setshire. He many years ago issued pro- 
 posals for a History of Middlesex, but 
 never proceeded with the work. His 
 avowed publications are,

 Battersea. These effusions the author 
 collected and published under the title of, 
 
 Poetical Trifles, 12mo. 1785. 
 
 Pilkington, Mary, a lady who has 
 distinguished herself by writing many 
 useful books for children. She waftborn 
 at Cambridge, where her father, Mr. Hop- 
 kins, was an eminent surgeon, but so im- 
 provident that he left his widow and 
 daughter in embarrassed circumstances. 
 The latter, however, was taken care of 
 by her grandfather, who was a respecta- 
 ble clergyman, and in 1786 she married 
 Mr. Pilkington, a surgeon, then resident 
 at Ely, but afterwards he entered into the 
 navy, and his wife became a governess 
 in a family, where she resided eight years. 
 On quitting that situation, she turned her 
 attention to literature as an employment,

 don, where he has regularly continued to 
 reside in the employment of the booksel- 
 lers. Many years ago he married the 
 sister of the present Bishop of St. David's, 
 Dut without any blame on the part of the 
 lady, the parties have been long since 
 separated. In the year 1785, Mr. Pinker- 
 Ion surprised the literary world with a 
 very extraordinary performance, under 
 the assumed name of Robert Heron, in 
 which work he ran down the ancients, 
 and criticised the best of the moderns, 
 with an air of assurance that could not 
 have been warranted even by the most 
 confirmed character of taste, learning, 
 and judgment. In these ridiculous let- 
 ters, he had also the vanity to recommend 
 ■a. new system of orthography more fan- 
 tastical and absurd, if possible, than that 
 which his countryman, Mr. Elphinstone, 
 endeavoured, with so much zeal, to intro- 
 duce. Mr. iPinkerton, by contriving to 
 gain the friendship of the late Horace 
 Walpole, afterwards Earl of Orford, be- 
 came acquainted with Gibbon the histo- 
 rian, and other persons of eminence. 
 When Lord Orford died, our author, very 
 delicately, no doubt, sold his sayings, sto- 
 ries, arid letters, to the proprietor of the 
 Monthly Magazine, in which vehicle they 
 appeared for about a year or two under 
 - the title of Walpoliana, and when the 
 stock was out, the whole was reprinted 
 in two small volumes, with a memoir of 
 the deceased nobleman. The other pub- 
 lications of Mr. Pinkerton are,

 Piozzr, Mrs. Hester Lynch. This 
 lady is the daughter of John Salusbury, 
 Esq. of Bodvel in Caernarvonshire, where

 1763 she married Mr. Henry Thrale, an 
 eminent brewer in Southwark, and for 
 some, years representative in Parliament 
 for that borough. On the death of that 
 gentleman in 1781, his widow and four 
 daughters went to reside at Bath, wfyere, 
 in 1784, Mrs. Thrale gave her hand to 
 an Italian teacher of music named Gabriel 
 Piozzi, with whom she visited the con- 
 tinent, and remained at Florence some 
 years. Mrs. Piozzi was the intimate 
 friend and correspondent of Dr. Johnson, 
 whose displeasure she incurred by her 
 very imprudent marriage ; and when the 
 Doctor died, she published letters and 
 anecdotes of that venerable character, 
 without paying much regard to the pro- 
 priety of the selection, or the verity of 
 her relations. The late ingenious Joseph 
 Baretti, in particular, was very severe in . 
 his animadversions on her conduct, and 
 Dr. Wolcot published an admirable poem, 
 in which he exposed the literary lady and 
 her competitor, Mr. Boswell, under the 
 appropriate titles, of "Bozzy and Piozzi." 
 In the Miscellanies of Mrs. Anna Wil- 
 liams, printed in 1765, is a very beautiful 
 tale written by Mrs. Thrale, entitled, 
 " The Three Warnings," besides which 
 she communicated many light essays 
 and poetical effusions to other collections.

 Inn. He was created a Doctor in Civil 
 Law at Oxford in 1793, out of compli- 
 ment, on account of some publications in 
 which he had defended the English con- 
 stitution with considerable ability; but 
 it is to be lamented that in others of a 
 later period he took a different course, for 
 one of which he was prosecuted in Ire- 
 land at the suit of a respectable gentle- 
 man, whom he had grossly calumniated, 
 and who obtained a verdict of 5,000/. da- 
 mages. In consequence of this adju- 
 dication, the author thought proper to 
 withdraw to France, where he at pre- 
 sent resides, engaged as it is said in 
 some enquiries into the ancient history 
 of Ireland. His works are :

 even well instructed females. The dot* 
 tor was himself of a studious turn, and, 
 he took a delight in cultivating the incli- 
 nation of his children to letters, particu- 
 larly his daughters, who became by his 
 tuition proficients in several modern lan- 
 guages; of which they have given abun- 
 dant proofs in their spirited translations 
 as well as in their own original composi- 
 tions. The works of the present- lady

 Plumptre, Anne, the second daugh-

 Plumptre, received, like her sister, a very 
 extensive education from her worthy fa- 
 ther. The acquisition of languages was 
 always a favorite pursuit, with the pre- 
 sent lady; who is not only well ac- 
 quainted with French and German, but 
 also the Italian and Spanish. She com- 
 menced author with some slight per- 
 formances in periodical publications; 
 and her first regular work was a novel in 
 two volumes, published at first anony- 
 mously, but acknowledged by her in a 
 second edition. The following is a list

 At the age of seventeen he removed to 
 Queen's College, Cambridge, after the

 marriage, was named Minifie, and dis-

 eminence. The present lady obtained 
 the patronage of the late Duchess of 
 Bedford, till she and her mother became 
 the objects of displeasure, in an en- 
 deavour to promote an alliance with a 
 noble family, by an artifice which occa- 
 
 sioned much noise, and some publica- 
 tions. The young lady afterwards 
 married Major Plunkett,, an officer of 
 slender circumstances. She has written :

 great variety of specimens. He is also 
 chairman of a society instituted in the 
 county of Kent for the promotion of the 
 knowledge of natural history, a very 
 laudable institution, which it were to be 
 wished, might be adopted in other parts 
 of the kingdom. . Mr. Pocock, some 
 years ago, undertook a monthly com- 
 mercial shipping list, but being opposed 
 in that laudable design by a mercenary 
 bookseller in London, it fell to the 
 ground. His publications are :

 Polwhele, Rev. Richard, Vicar of 
 Manaccan and of Anthony in Cornwall. 
 He is descended from an ancient family, 
 settled on an estate of the same name 
 in that county. He was born in 1760, 
 and received his education at Truro 
 school, • where he evinced his poetical 
 genius in such a way as to attract the 
 notice of Dr. Wolcot, who gave him 
 considerable assistance. In 1778, Mr. 
 Polwhele was admitted a commoner of 
 Christ Church, Oxford, where he became 
 a student in civil law, but never took a 
 degree. In 1782, he entered into orders, 
 and shortly after settled on the curacy of 
 Kenton, in Devonshire, where he pro- 
 jected the history of that county, in 
 which work he received great encourage- 
 ment; though the execution fell very 
 far short of public expectation. In 
 1795, he was presented by the late 
 Bishop Buller of Exeter, to the vicarage 
 of Manaccan, in his native county, where 
 
 pon 279 
 
 he has continued ever since to reside^ as 
 a diligent parish priest, and an active 
 magistrate. Mr. Polwhele was the 
 cordial friend of the late eminent anti- 
 quary, Mr. John Whitaker, and to the 
 friendship of that distinguished scholar 
 he has been considerably indebted in his 
 topographical and historical researches. 
 He has been twice married,, and has 
 several children by both his wives ; nor 
 are his literary progeny less numerous, 
 as the following list will evince : 
 
 The Fate of Llewellyn, or the Druid's Sacrifice; a 
 legendary tale, 4to. — The Genius of Karnbre; v a 
 poem, 4to. — The Spirit of Fraser to General Bur- 
 goyne ; an ode, 4to. — The Death of Hilda, an Ame-

 is a remarkable instance of good fortune 
 and dexterous management. He is a na- 
 tive of Ashburton, and was bred in the 
 office of an attorney in that town. On 
 commencing business for himself, he 
 turned his attention chiefly' to the con- 
 veyancing branch, ahtf having the luck 
 to meet with some valuable law books 
 and manuscripts, he compiled a ponder- 
 ous volume on the law of contingencies 
 and other settlements. This compilation 
 he was encouraged to publish by sub- 
 scription under the auspices of the late 
 Judge Buller, to whom the work was de- 
 dicated, arid who 1 invited the author to 
 
 settle in London, where,' as a matter of 
 course, under such patronage his success 
 was certain. Being of a diligent turn, 
 and knowing the value of money as 
 well as any man, in. the three king-, 
 doms, he soon realised a considerable for- 
 tune which is still on the increase by the 
 extent of his business. His publications

 ty of his native jcity, after whjch he be- 
 came lamanuensis to. the celebrated Rud- 
 diman, whose brother, a printer,.topk him 
 an apprentice. In 1760 he came to London 
 with recommendations to the late Mr. 
 Strahan, who engaged him in his office 
 as a corrector of the press, and at his 
 death left him an annuity for life. Mr. 
 Preston is now in partnership with the • 
 son. Our author very early became a 
 member of the fraternity of Free Masonsj 
 and was chosen Masjter of the Lodge of 
 Antiquity, but on' account of some infor- 
 malities committed by the society over 
 which he presided, it was disfranchised, 
 and remained out of communion with 
 the great body of the brethren for some 
 years. At length a reconciliation took 
 place and this lodge is justly considered 
 as one of the first in London. Mr, Pres T

 of a curious an,d valuable collection of 
 memoirs illustrative of the history of the 
 times. For one of these sets, thus manu- 
 factured, with the aid of scissars and 
 paste, a late noble duke gave the sum of 
 three fmndred guineas. But on some ac- 
 count or other the ingenious projector 
 was under the necessity of withdrawing 
 from the kingdom, and what has become 
 of him we know not; He has published, 
 
 Legal Portraits, or Characteristic Sketches of Emi- 
 nent Lawyers, 8vo. 1793.— St. Pierre's Studies of N a-

 Redesdale, the Rt. Hon. JoitN Mit- 
 fop.d, Baron. This learned Lord is de- 
 scended of an ancient family in the coun- 
 ty of Northumberland, but he was him- 
 self born in Hampshire in 1749. He re- 
 ceived his education at Winchester school, 
 from whence he removed to New College, 
 Oxford, after which he became a student of 
 the Temple, wh ere he was called to the bar, 
 and became a distinguished pleader in the 
 Court of Chancery. In 1793 he was ap- 
 pointed Solicitor General, at which time 
 ne also received the honor of Knighthood, 
 and in J799 he was made Attorney Ge- 
 neral. He succeeded his friend Mr. Ad- 
 dington as Speaker of the House of Com- 
 mons in 1801 ; but the year following he 
 was elevated to the Peerage, and the 
 Chancellorship of Ireland. In 1803 he 
 married Lady Frances Perceval, daughter 
 of the second Earl of Eginont, by whom 
 Jie has a daughter. Lord Redesdale has 
 always been considered as a profound 
 lawyer, and in the upper house his judg- 
 ment is attended to with the greatest 
 deference, particularly in cases of appeal. 
 While at the Chancery bar he published 
 a very valuable work " On the Pleadings 
 in Suits' in the Court of Chancery by 
 English Bill," 8vo. 1787, of which a se- 
 cond edition appeared in 1804. In this 
 last mentioned year his Lordship's cor- 
 respondence with the Earl of Fingal on 
 the question of Catholic Emancipation 
 was printed, but entirely without the 
 learned Lord's concurrence, and therefore 
 the act must be regarded as an unwarrant- 
 able breach of private confidence. Lord 
 Redesdale has since printed, 
 
 Observations, occasioned by a Pamphlet entitled 
 Objections to the project of creating a Vice Chan- 
 cellor of England, 8vo. 1813. It is recorded in the 
 Pamphleteer. 
 
 Reece, Richard, M: D. and a vender 
 of medicines in Piccadilly. This gentle- 
 man is the son of the late Rev. William 
 Keece, rector of Colwall in the county of 
 Hereford, and served his time to a coun- 
 
 KEE ,18*4- 
 
 try surgeon, after which he became ar» 
 assistant in the infirmary at Hereford. 
 About the year 1800 he settled in Hen- 
 riettaStreet, Covent 'Garden, where he 
 opened a sht.p for the sale of medicines 
 in general, and that with such > success 
 as to be induced to take out his diploma 
 from a Scotch college. He has published 
 several medical compilations on popular 
 subjects, and started at various times 
 such nostrums as appeared well calculated 
 to excite public credulity. When Joanna 
 Southcott avowed herself to be in a state 
 of pregnancy, the doctor very incau- 
 tiously suffered himself to be deluded, 
 into an interview with the pretended 
 prophetess j whose appearance he de- 
 clared was such as ^o warrant him in 
 pronouncing her to be in the state that she 
 affected and her followers believed. This 
 testimony also he was weak enough to 
 send into the world through the daily- 
 newspapers, the consequence of wriich 
 was, that the public curiosity was roused 
 to an uncommon pitch, the confidence of 
 the impostor and her disciples increased, 
 and the doctor was regarded for a tinre as 
 a most wonderful man. At length the 
 fallacy ended in the death of the woman, 
 whose body was opened by the doctor, 
 and he published the result of. his obser- 
 vations. His performances are :

 *iod he left his native country for the 
 metropolis we have not learnt. But 
 while he was a very yoyng man he was 
 placed under the tuition of Dr. Jennings 
 and Dr. Savage. On the death of the 
 former Mr. Rees became a tutor in ma- 
 thematics and natural philosophy in the 
 academy at Hoxton, having for his cot- 
 league in the same seminary the late Dr. 
 Kippis. In 1785 our author resigned his 
 situation and soon after another institu- 
 tion was formed on the same plan^ at 
 Hackney, with the title of the New Col- 
 lege, of which Dr. Bees was appointed 
 one of the tutors, but after some time 
 this seminary dwindled to nothing, and 
 the doctor relinquished his share in the 
 concern. The first settlement of the doc- 
 tor-as the pastor of a congregation was at 
 St. Thomas's in Southwark about fifty 
 years ago : from thence he was invited 
 to take charge' of the meeting in the Old 
 Jewry, and latterly he officiates in a new 
 chapel in Jewin Street. As an author he 
 is known chiefly by his edition of Cham- 
 bers's Cyclopedia, which began to be 
 published in 1781 and was completed in 
 1786, in 4 vols, folio. That work having 
 become obsolete, the proprietors engaged 
 in one upon an entire new and' most 
 extensive scale, with^he doctor's name 
 prefixed to it. The first part of this dic- 
 tionary of the sciences, which will surpass 
 the famous one published in France^ ap- 
 peared in quarto in 1803, and it is still 
 in progress. The doctor has also printed 
 the folio wing pieces, which do great cre- 
 dit to his judgment as a scholar and di- 
 vine :

 revolution breaking out, he became a zea- 
 lous advocate of the' republican doctrines, 
 with no small tinge of infidelity. ; After 
 some time, however, he wavered, and, 
 for a short space, was such a determined 
 friend to orthodoxy, that the late Bishop 
 of London, Dr. POrteus, if is Said, offers 
 cd him ordination, which he strangely 
 enough declined. After editing for a lit*-

 " Reijnell, Jaivtes, Esq.. F.RS. This 
 gentleman was born in 1742, at Chud- 
 leigb in Devonshire, where his family 
 have enjoyed a goodestate almost ever 
 since the conquest. He received his 
 education at a grammar school in the 
 neighbourhood, and at the age of fifteen, 
 entered into s the naval service as a mid- 
 shipman, In the seven years' war, he 
 distinguished himself by his enterprising 
 spirit, particularly at the siege of Pondi- 
 cherry. In 1766, by the advice of a 
 friend who possessed great interest in the 
 India House, he quitted the navy and 
 entered into the Company's military ser- 
 vice, in which he acted as an officer of 
 engineers. It was while he was,thus 
 empjoyed, that he first appeared before 
 the world in the character of an author, 
 by publishing a Chart of the Bank and 
 Current of Cape Lagullas ; for which he 
 was appointed surveyor, general of Ben- 
 gal. , He soon after published his Bengal 
 Atlas, which was followed by an Account 
 of the Ganges and Burrampooter Rivers. 
 This last appeared in the Philosophical 
 Transactions, and gained the author, so 
 much reputation, that he was unanimous- 
 ly elected a Fellow. of the Royal Society. 
 While in the East, Major Rennell married 
 Miss Thackeray, one of the daughters of 
 Dr., Thackeray, formerly head-master of 
 Harrow School. On his return to En- 
 gland, about the year 1782, he published 
 his , celebrated Memoir of a Map of Hin- 
 dostan, which procured him the friend T 
 ship and correspondence of the "most 
 learned men in Europe. When the Asi- 
 atic Society was formed, the Major bey 
 came a warm friend and contributor to 
 it : thpugh some of his most valuable, 
 communications are not marked with hiss 
 name. In 1793, he assisted the late lay 
 mented Mungo Park', in the arrange- 
 ment of his travels, and he also rendered 
 essential service to the African Associa- 
 tion, by correcting the geography of that 
 interesting, but little known part of the 
 globe. The.great work of Dr. Vincent on 
 the voyage pf Nearchuis, as well as that 
 pn the Periplus, received considerable 
 ^lustration, from this acute and ititelji^

 Rennell, Thomas, D.D. Dean of Win- 
 chester, and Master of the Temple. This 
 learned divine is the son of a clergyman 
 of both the same names, who was former- 
 ly Prebendary of Winchester, and rector 
 of a' Hying in Northamptonshire, where 
 the son was born about the year 1750. 
 He received his education at Eton, from 
 whence he removed tp King's' College, 
 Cambridge, where, in 1778, he obtained 
 one of the Member's Prizes for the best 
 Latin dissertation. Having gained a fel- 
 lowship in his college, his father resigned 
 in his favor the prebendal stall of Win- 
 chester, where he became so very .popu- 
 lar as to obtain the patronage of the late 
 Marquis of Buckingham. In consequence 
 of this he was presented to the rectory 
 of St. Magnus, London Bridge, and in 
 1798, made Master of the Temple. On 
 the -death of Dr. Holmes, he was pro- 
 moted to the Deanry of Winchester, 
 ■with which he continues to hold his other 
 preferments. Dr. Rennell is a profound 
 scholar and intimately conversant with 
 the writers of the Platonic school, As a 
 preacher, he is distinguished by the clear- 
 est reasoning and the most impassioned 
 earnestness of manner, which of course 
 cannot fail to gain him fixed attention. 
 He was suspected, at one time, of having 
 been concerned in the Pursuits of Litera- 
 ture, from which charge he thought it 
 his duty to free himself by a public de- 
 claration. . But on one occasion, he can- 
 not well be acquitted of the accusation 
 of having actecj a little inconsistently. 
 We allude to his bold and indiscriminate 
 attack on what he calls the Pagan edu- 
 cation of modern schools, when in a 
 sermon before the University of pam- 
 bridge, he had openly vindicated that 
 very mode of tuition. The Dean mar- 
 Tied the daughter of Judge Blackstone, 
 by whom he has a son who is also in or- 
 ders. The works of the Dean are, 
 
 The Connexion of the Duties of loving the Brethren, 
 fearing God, aud honoring tlie King, a Sermon at St. 
 Magnns, 8vo. 1793.— Principles of French Republi-

 a noted attorney in London, who figured 
 as the professional friend of John Wilkes. 
 Our author was born about 1760, and 
 received his education at Westminster 
 School, with a view to his father's line of 
 business. But the muses had more 
 charms for him than the desk and Lord 
 Coke. He began his respects to the 
 Nine by writing tragedy ; but soon dis- 
 covered that his talent lay more in the 
 service of Thalia than that of her sister ;

 change. The following is a correct list

 late Dr. Enfield and the present Dr. 
 Aikin. As early as 1773, he materially 
 contributed to the establishment of a 
 society for the encouragement of drawing 
 and painting, at Liverpool : and when 
 the question of the slave trade was agi- 
 tated, he advocated" the abolition of that 
 traffic with great zeal and eloquence. 
 The French revolution also found in him 
 a warm admirer, and he wrote some po- 
 pular songs and other poetical pieces in 
 favor of that cause ; particularly one en- 
 titled "Millions be Free," and another 
 f The Vine-covered Hills." About the 
 year 1797, Mr. Roscoe relinquished the 
 practice of an attorney, and entered him- 
 self a student of Gray's Inn, by which 
 society he was in regular course called 
 to the bar. He afterwards commenced 
 the business of a banker at Liverpool, 
 and, for a short space, sat as one of 
 the representatives of that town in par- 
 liament, where he acted in conjunction 
 •with the party of Mr. Fox, though he 
 very rarely made any display of his powers 
 in debate, and at the ensuing election 
 he was thrown but by b,is townsmen. 
 The works of Mr. Roscoe are as. fol- 
 lows :

 Rose, the Rt, Hon. George, M.P. Clerk 
 of the Parliament, Treasurer of the Navy, 
 Deputy President of the Board of Trade, 
 Keeper of the Records' in the Exchequer, 
 one of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity 
 House, and a Trustee of the British Mu- 
 seum. This eminent statesman is an 
 instance of what may be accomplished 
 by industry and integrity. His outset in 
 life was in the capacity of a purser of a 
 ship of war, where his abilities became 
 known to the late Earl of Sandwich, by 
 
 whom he was recommended to Lord 
 North, who gave him an appointment in 
 the Treasury. His literary powers were 
 displayed to great advantage in the year 
 1777, when he superintended the publi- 
 cation of the Journals of the House of 
 Lords in thirty one folio volumes. From 
 that period he has rarely failed to be em- 
 ployed in a public capacity, by successive 
 administrations ; and the late Mr. Pitt, 
 in particular, had the highest regard for 
 him, npr was the attachment of Mr. Rose 
 to that illustrious man less sincere and 
 ardent. In 1794, he became executor to 
 the venerable Earl of Marchmont, who 
 bequeathed to him his large collection of 
 books, manuscripts, and coins. Mr. Rose 
 is the author ot the Dissertation on the 
 Doomsday Book, in Nash's History of 
 Worcestershire, and also of these tracts,

 Ryley, Samuel William. In the 
 year 1T93 this person was engaged in the 
 liquor trade at Manchester, but the spe- 
 culation failing in a few months, ' he 
 turned his attention to the stage, and be- 
 came an actor in a provincial theatre, 
 also a lecturer or reader of an entertain- 
 ment in the manner of Collins's Evening 
 Brush. The performance of Mr. Ryley 
 was called New Brooms, the songs in 
 which were printed at Huddersfielcf in a 
 small volume, but without date. The 
 same collection also contains two comic 
 pieces entitled " The Civilian ; or the 
 Farmer turned Footman," and " Roderic 
 Random." But the most amusing work 
 of our author is one in which he de- 
 scribes the miseries of a strolling player ; 
 it is entitled 
 
 The Itinerant, or Genuine Memoirs of an Actor, 3 V. 
 lime 1803. 
 
 Rymer, James, a Surgeon and Apothe- 
 cary at Ryegate in Surrey. He is a na

 Sack, the Baron Albert Von, Cham- 
 berlain to the King of Prussia, and Go- 
 vernor of the Province of the Lower 
 Rhine. This gentleman, on account of 
 his health, was obliged to reside some 
 time at Madeira, from whence he re- 
 moved to Surinam, where he amused 
 himself by researches in natural history. 
 On his return to England he arranged 
 the account of his travels for the press, 
 and published the result in an epistolary 
 form. After this he went again to the 
 West Indies and Surinam, and at present 
 he is engaged, we understand, in pre- 
 paring an edition of his first book with a 
 supplement in German.

 Saint, William, formerly one of the

 native of Norwich, and was educated un- 
 der the eccentric Jqhn Fransham, who 
 was also the mathematical tutor of the 
 late Rt. Hon. William Wyndham. Mr. 
 Saint, we believe, wrote the life of his 
 preceptor in a periodical publication, 
 where also he combated the strange doc- 
 trines of the Platonist Taylor, who re- 
 plied with great bitterness and contempt. 
 Separately Mr. S. has published :

 with a view to effect a Reformation in the Studies at 
 the Academy of Woolwich, 8vo. 1810.

 Salt, Henry, Esq. F.R.S. Consul gene-

 School of that city. His love of travelling 
 and taste for drawing procured him the 
 friendship of Lord valentia, whom he 
 accompanied to the Levant, Egypt, Abys- ■ 
 sinia, and the East Indies. The pub- 
 lished travels of that nobleman derived 
 great benefit from the graphic illustra- 
 tions of Mr. Salt, who was, in conse- 
 quence, eftiployed by government as the 
 bearer of presents to the Emperor of 
 Abyssinia, the result of which mission, 
 has appeared before the public in a work 
 ot high importance to commerce and 
 science. In this performance the au- 
 thor has rendered ample justice to Mt. 
 Bruce, whose general veracity and accu- 
 racy have here had a complete vindica- 
 tion. The publications, of Mr. Salt are:

 the quicksilver mines of Idria for a duel. 
 This piece first appeared in 1785 with

 Sarrazik, General, an officer who in 
 1810 quitted the service of Buonaparte on 
 some disgust, and came to England from 
 Cherburg. He commanded a force at 
 Cadsand, near Walcheren, and says that 
 he would have then joined the English, if 
 he could have done so with safety. Soon 
 after his arrival here he made the most 
 extravagant demands on our government 
 for supposed services, which he valued at 
 8,0001. a year, 50,0001. for what he had 
 sacrificed, and 10,0001. for immediate 
 use, besides the rank of lieutenant gene- 
 ral, and other items equally moderate ! 
 He published during his residence in Lon- 
 don, a periodical piece called the Philoso- 
 pher, and several articles in the Times 
 newspaper. He is also the author of: 
 
 The Confessions of Buonaparte to the Cardinal Mau- 
 ry, 8vo. — Memorial to the English Government, 8vo. 
 1811. — History of the War in Spain and Portugal,

 Scott, Waxteh, Esq. one of the clerks

 Walter Scott, Esq. a counsellor^ by Eliza- 
 beth, daughter of David Rutherford, Esq. 
 also an eminent practitioner of the same 
 profession at Edinburgh. The mother of 
 Mr. Scott died in 1789, and some of her 
 poems have been printed. She was inti- 
 mate with Allan Ramsay, Blacklock, and 
 Burns ; so that genius, in this respect, 
 seems to have been hereditary. Mr. 
 Scott, who has been lame from his birth, 
 ■was educated at the High Schpol of Edin- 
 burgh, under Dr. Adam, and next at the 
 University there, under Professor Stewart. 
 After going through the forms of an office 
 with/ an eminent writer to the signet, he 
 was called to the Scotch bar, and through 
 his alliance to the Buccleugh family, ob- 
 tained the situation of one of the princi- 
 pal clerks to the. Court of 'Session. His

 Scraggs, George Glynn, was born at 
 London, in 1765, and intended for the 
 law, which profession he quitted for the 
 ministry among the dissenters. To qua- 
 lify himself for that calling, he studied 
 four years in an academy devoted to the 
 instruction of youth for the pastoral office. 
 He commenced his labours at Bridge- 
 water, in Somersetshire, from whence he 
 removed to Newcastle-under-Lyne, where 
 he was ordained. From Newcastle he 
 was invited to the charge of the senior 
 Independent congregation at Bucking- 
 ham, where he has resided fifteen years, 
 and added to his ministerial duty that of a 
 schoolmaster. Mr. Scraggs at an early 
 age was a contributor to various maga-

 Serres, Olivia Wilmot, wife of 
 the last-mentioned artist, and landscape 
 painter to his royal highness the Prince 
 Regent. She was born at Warwick, 
 April 8, 1775, being descended of the 
 noble family of Wilmot, celebrated for 
 their loyalty in the civil wars. In con- 
 sequence of the depressed state of the 
 circumstances of her parents, Olivia was 
 taken tinder the fostering care of her 
 uncle, . Dr. James Wilmot, a respectable 
 member of Trinity College, Oxford, and 
 in habits of intimacy with the most cele- 
 brated literary and political personages of 
 his time. But the kindness which our 
 fair author experienced from this worthy 
 relative, was repaid by her endeavouring 
 to make the world believe that he was 
 the author of Junius's Letters, an honour 
 to which, if he were now alive, that gen- 
 tleman 1 would hardly be desirous of laying 
 any claim. At the age of eighteen she 
 
 married Mr. Sefres, from whom she has 
 been separated several years, and under 
 very hard circumstances, having to main- 
 tain herself and her children solely by 
 her own efforts. In 1806 she was ap- 
 pointed landscape painter to the Prince 
 of Wales, for which honour she expressed 
 her gratitude by defending his royal 
 highness with great zeal and ability 
 against some scurrilous attacks. She has 
 also published several musical pieces, 
 which have been favourably received ; 
 and some political pamphlets, without 
 her name, on the topics of the day,' 
 chiefly in the behalf of the royal family'* 
 and persons in power. It is proper to 
 observe, that since her separation from 
 her husband, and in consequence of the 
 ill treatment which she has experienced, 
 she has commonly called herself -Wilmot. 
 Her avowed productions are : 
 
 Flights of Fancy, a collection of miscellaneous Poems, 
 8vo. 1806. — St. Julian, a novel, cr. 8vo. 1805.— Castle 
 of Avala, an opera. — Letters of Advice to her Daugh-

 Sharp, William, an eminent historical 
 engraver in Howland-street, Fitzroy- 
 square, who has a claim to a place in this 
 work for his extraordinary conduct in the 
 Walk of fanaticism. When Richard Bro- 
 thers amused the public with his wonder- 
 ful prophecies, Mr. Sharp enlisted himself 
 with great ardour under his banner, and 
 published a portrait of the seer, very ad- 
 mirably engraved, but with an inscription 
 beneath, which outraged decency. The 
 exposure of that folly did not cure the 
 artist, who became as great an adrriirer 
 of Joanna Southcott' as he had been of 
 Brothers. , To ascertain her history and 
 the veracity of her relations, he was at 
 $ie trouble of making a journey to Exe- 
 ter, and when she declared herself to be 
 in a pregnant state, Mr. Sharp professed 
 his belief and his joy in no very mode- 
 rate terms. He went about in all com- 
 panies proclaiming the approaching ad- 
 vent, and while credulity was on the 
 tiptoe of expectation he published the 
 portrait of Joanna, with an interdict 
 against all copyists. Even the death of 
 the sibyl could not remove the ridiculous 
 impression which had been made upon 
 his mind hy her dreams, and he actually 
 ■was the last who gave up the hope of see- 
 ing the body rise again from the bed of 
 death. He has published :

 Sheffield, the RightHon. John Baker 
 Holroyd, Lord, is the second son of Isaac 
 Holroyd, Esq. by Dorothea, daughter <af 
 Daniel Baker, of Penn, in the county of 
 Bucks, Esq. He was born about the year 
 1T41, and so early as 1760, commanded a 
 troop of light Tiorse under the Marquis of 
 Granby. Soon after the restoration of 
 peace, he travelled through a great part 
 of Europe, and while abroad, the death of 
 his brother greatly enlarged his fortune. 
 In 1767 he married Miss Way, the only 
 daughter of a gentleman of considerable 
 opulence. About this time he became 
 an ardent agriculturist, and his estate of 
 Sheffield House,, in Sussex, was greatly 
 indebted to his skilfal exertions. On the 
 breaking out of the war with prance, ia 
 1778, Mr. Holroyd accepted a commission 
 
1614.

 in the Sussex Militia, of which he after- 
 wards had the command. In 1780 he 
 was elected into parliament for the city 
 of Coventry, after one of. the most violent 
 contests ever known, which ended in the 
 committal of the two sheriffs of that city 
 to Newgate. When the fanatical peti- 
 tions against the Roman Catholics were 
 broughtup to the House of Commons by 
 Lord George Gordon, who was accustomed 
 to harangue the mobs on those occasions; 
 Colonel Holroyd fearing the consequences 
 laid hold of his lordship, arid said, " hi- 
 therto I have imputed your conduct to 
 madness, but now I perceive that it has 
 more of malice than madness in it;" add- 
 ing at the same time, " that if any of the 
 mob made an entrance into the house he 
 would instantly inflict summary ven- 
 geance on his Lordship as the instigator." 
 At this time he was created Lord Shef- 
 field, Baron of Dunamore, in the county 
 -of Meath, though afterwards an alteration 
 took place in the, form of the patent, with 
 remainder of the title to his daughters. 
 The commercial knowledge displayed by 
 his Lordship j recommended: him to. the 
 city of Bristol at the next general election, 
 and he rendered himself popular to his 
 new, constituents, '-, by his indefatigable 
 opposition toithe' abolition of the slave 
 trade.. In 1802 he was created an Eng- 
 lish peer, and in the.upper, house he has 
 displayed the same ,inaependency. of spi- 
 rit Which. characterized him in the other 
 house of parliament:, He has been thrice 
 married. On the death of his. first lady, 
 in 1793^ he espoused Lady Lucy Pelham, 
 daughter of the Earl of Chichester, and 
 after her death he married Lady Anne 
 North, daughter of the late Earl of Guild- 
 ford, by whom he has issue, George Au- 
 gustus Frederic North, born in 1802. 
 Lord Sheffield was the most intimate 
 frjend of the historian Gibbon, to whose 
 memory .he has done honour, by the pub- 
 lication of his memoirs and posthumous 
 works, in 3 vols. 4to. His own literary 
 performances are these; ,

 Sheridan, Right Hon. Richard 
 Brinsley, Receiver General of the 
 Duchy of Cornwall ; is the third son of 
 the celebrated Thomas Sheridan, an ac- 
 tor of eminence, and more distinguished, 
 as a teacher of elocution. Mrs. Sheridan, 
 the mother of our .author, was also a wc*r\ 
 man of very superior genius and of ex- 
 cellent principles. She was the intimate , 
 friend of Dr- Samuel Johnson and, other 
 persons of great name in the world of 
 letters. Mr. Richard Sheridan was born 
 at Dublin in October 1751, and at the .

 age of seven years was placed with his 
 elder brother Charles, under the care of 
 Mr. Samuel Whyte, a schoolmaster, in 
 the above city, and a relation of Mrs. 
 Sheridan. It is observable that at the 
 time when these boys were committed to 
 the instruction of Mr. Whyte, their mo- 
 ther thus expressed herself concerning 
 them to that gentleman, " I have hither- 
 to been their only instructor, and they 
 have sufficiently exercised my patience; 
 for two §uch impenetrable dunces I ne- 
 ver met with." After remaining with 
 Mr. Whyte about a year and a half, the 
 youths were sent to England, and in 
 1763, Richard Brinsley was entered at 
 Harrow School, on which occasion the 
 mother wrote thus to her friend Mr. 
 Whyte," Dick has been at school since 
 Christmas ; as he probably may fall 
 into a bustling life, we have a mind to 
 accustom him early to shift for himself." 
 The' progress of young Sheridan at Har- 
 row was not, however, such as to remove 
 the impression so early formed against 
 his genius by his parent, but at length 
 •his latent powers are said to have been 
 discovered by Mr"., now Doctor, Samuel 
 Parr, who spared no pains in drawing 
 them into activity. About the year 
 1769, he was taken from Harrow, and 
 , entered a student of the Middle Temple, 
 where we have every reason to believe 
 that his application was not at all answer- 
 able to his father's expectations. The 
 embarrassments of Mr. Sheridan .were 
 increased by his marriage with Miss 
 Liuley, the daughter of the celebrated 
 composer, and herself a favourite singer 
 at Drury Lane. The affections of this 
 lady were gained by two desperate duels 
 which her lover fought on her account 
 with a Mr. Matthews, another of her ad- 
 mirers, in hoth of which Mr. Sheridan 
 came off victorious. Though this alli- 
 ance involved our author in considerable 
 difficulties he would ni?t suffer bis wife 
 afterwards to appear on the stage ; and 
 he actually refused many considerable 
 offers which were made to him by the 
 managers for his consent. On the 17th 
 of January 1775 he brought out his first 
 comedy of the Rivals, at Covent Garden, 
 but the success Of this piece did not 
 equal its merits and it was withdrawn. 
 His next production was a farce entitled, 
 "St. Patrick's Day, or the Scheming 
 Lieutenant," which appeared the same 
 season. The next year appeared his 
 comic opera of the Duenna, which ran 
 seventy five nights, arid about this time, 
 
 on the retirement of Garrick, the pur^ 
 chase of his share of the patent was en- 
 tered into with him by Dr. Ford, Mr. 
 Linley, and Mr. Sheridan for SO.OOOl. 
 Having now an interest in that concern 
 which called for his particular exertions, 
 our author produced in the season fol- 
 lowing a comedy altered from Vanbrugh, 
 called " A Trip to Scarborough ;" which 
 was eclipsed by one of his own entitled 
 " The School for Scandal," the most po- 
 pular and perhaps the most legitimate 
 piece of the kind of the modern drama, 
 la 1778 he brought out the musical piece 
 of the " Camp," which was followed by 
 the entertainment of " the Critic," alter- 
 ed with great improvements from the 
 " Rehearsal" of the Duke of Bucking- 
 ham. At the general election in 1780 
 he was returned to parliament for Staf- 
 ford, and immediately enrolled himself 
 on the side of opposition, under the ban- 
 ners of his friend Mr. .Fox, to whom he 
 became under secretary, when that gen- 
 tleman formed his noted coalition with 
 Lord North. During the Shelburne 
 administration a periodical paper appear- 
 ed bearing the name of " The Jesuit," 
 as characteristic of the nobleman who 
 stood at the head of affairs. In that 
 work Mr. Sheridan had a principal con- 
 cern ; and it was so severe that the At- 
 torney General was directed by Govern- 
 ment to institute a prosecution against 
 the publisher. It ought here to be men- 
 tioned as a curious instance of the hones- 
 ty of party, that when the conductors of 
 this paper' canje soon aftej into power, 
 they suffered the prosecution to go on, 
 and the bookseller to be imprisoned 
 twelve months without interposing on 
 his behalf, or even paying the heavy ex- 
 penses which he had incurred ! On the 
 restoration of his friends Mr. Sheridan 
 was once more brought into place, and 
 appointed Secretary of the Treasury ; but 
 he had scarcely seated himself in that 
 office before the precipitate India Bill of 
 Mr. Fox again -occasioned a change^ 
 and Mr. Pjtt became too firmly fixed to 
 be shaken by the arts or the eloquence 
 the opposition. From that time Mr. 
 Sheridan distinguished himself with 
 great energy on that side, and his 
 speeches, whatever might be thought of 
 them by cool and dispassionate reasoners, 
 never failed to attract public admiration 
 for the poignancy of their wit and the 
 eloquence of the language. At the com- 
 mencement of the French revolution, in- 
 deed, he experienced some very eutting

 retorts from his old associate Mr. Burke, 
 who exposed his weakness in seeking a 
 little, paltry popularity from clubs, with 
 keen but just severity. It is but just, 
 however, to observe that in some instances 
 Mr. Sheridan displayed more real pa- 
 triotism than his great leader Mr. Fox, 
 particularly at the time of the mutiny 
 among the seamen, and also in vindi- 
 cating the parochial associations for the 
 defence of the kingdom. On the death 
 of his first wife in 1793, he married Miss 
 Ogle,, daughter of the late dean of Win- 
 chester ; and when his party came again 
 into power after the death of Mr. Pitt, 
 our author was appointed treasurer of 
 the Navy. From that period he has 
 gradually declined in political conse- 
 quence, and at the last general election 
 he failed in securing a seat. Besides his 
 dramatic performances already mention- 
 ed, he adapted the Pizarro of Kotzebue 
 to the English stage in 1798; and wrote, 
 several songs which were inserted in the 
 works of others. The order of his pub- 
 lications is as follows : 
 
 The Epistles of Aristauaetus from the Greek, anon. 
 8vo. — The Rivals, com. 8vo. 1775. — The Duenna, 
 com. op. 8vo. 1775, 8th edit. 1794.— Trip to Scarbo-

 hearsed, 8vo. 1779- These pieces with the School for 
 Scandal were collected and printed in a neat volume 
 duodecimo, in Dublin, but it is very remarkable vhat 
 till very lately the last mentioned comedy lias 
 never been regularly published. — Verses to the Me- 
 mory of David Garrick, 4to. 1779 — Comparative

 amination of the internal evidence respecting the au- 
 thenticity of certain publications said to have been

 the author has ventured to defend the existence 
 . of Rowley, and his claims to the poems brbugllt for- 
 ward under his name by Chatterton. 
 
 Shield, William, Esq. musician in 
 ordinary to his Majesty, was born in 
 1754,atSwalwellinthe county of Dur- 
 ham. His father, who was a singing 
 master, taught him the violin at a very 
 early age, and such was his progress 
 that" before be was eight years old he 
 could play some of Corelli's most diffi- 
 cult pieces. The loss of his parent shortly 
 after this occasioned a great change in 
 his circumstances, and at the age of 14 
 
 he was bound apprentice to a boat buil- 
 der at North Shields; Fortunately for 
 him the celebrated Avison was at that 
 time a resident in the neighbourhood, 
 and from him he derived much assistance 
 in bis musical studies, which he still pur- 
 sued at his leisure hours. At the expi- 
 ration of his indentures he relinquished 
 the trade to which he had been brought / 
 up, and became the leader of a theatric 
 band at Durham. Such was his suc- 
 cess that he was advised to repair to Lon- 
 don, where he obtained the friendship of 
 Cramer, who employed him in the orches- 
 tra at the Opera House. In 1792 Mr. 
 Shield visited Italy, where he added to 
 his knowledge and his reputation, as his 
 various compositions sufficiently evince. 
 Of his musical productions, in the capar 
 city of composer to Covent Garden 
 Theatre, it belongs not to us here to 
 speak, but. his literary and scientific 
 powers are displayed to advantage in,

 Sidmouth, Right Hon. Henry Ad-

 Dr. Anthony Addingtbn,-. formerly .an 
 eminent physician at Reading, and the 
 confidential friend of the great Lord Chat- 
 ham, which connexion brought on ari'in- 
 • timacy.with their respective sons. The 
 subject of the present sketch .was born at 
 Reading about 1755, and with his brother 
 Mr. Hil'ey Addingtori 'sent to Cheam 
 school under Mr.' Gilpin, 'from whence 
 they removed first- to .Winchester, and' 
 afterwards to Ealing, where- they had the 
 instructions of the present Bishop ofCar- 
 lisle. Mr. Henry Addirigton became a 
 student of Brazenose College, Oxford, 
 where he took his . Master's degree No- 
 vember 18, 1780. On leaving the Uni- 
 versity he entered himself at Lincoln's 
 Inn, and was called to the bar about the 
 same time with Mr. Pitt, under whose 
 auspices he obtained a. seat in Parlia- 
 ment for the borough of Devizes of which 
 he had been previously chosen Recorder. 
 In 1789 he was elected Speaker of the 
 House of Commons, in which office he dis- * 
 played great talent and impartiality. On 
 the resignation of Mr. Pitt and his col? 
 leagues, Mr. Addington was 'appointed 
 Chancellor of the Exchequer, in which 
 capacity he effected the treaty of Amiens 
 which certainly will not confer any great 
 lustre on his administration.' When Mr'. 
 Pitt resumed the seat of power, his friend 
 was made a peer and appointed Lord 
 President of the Council ; ' and in the 
 Fox and Grenville administration he held 
 the office of Privy Seal, He at present

 Sikes, Rev. Thomas, M.A. Vicar of 
 Gilsborough in Northamptonshire. He 
 was formerly a member of Pembroke 
 College, Oxford, where he took his mas- 
 ter's degree in 1792. Mr. Sikes who is 
 possessed of a very handsome paternal 
 estate, is a zealous defender of the esta- 
 blished church. He was the first who 
 made a direct attack upon the British and 
 Foreign Bible Society, not on account'of 
 the principle of circulating the. Scriptures, 
 but the impropriety of churchmen asso- 
 ciating with sectaries, and aiding them 
 in' "creating funds by which the interests 
 of" the establishment must eventually be 
 injured. Mr. Sykes therefore published 
 a Letter to Lord Teignmouth on that sub- 
 ject, subscribed by ", a Country Clergy- 
 man,"ito which Mr. Owen, secretary of 
 the 'society, returned an'answer with the 
 ■signature of a " Sub-Urban Clergyman."

 been distinguished as an open and zeal- 
 ous espouser of the Calvinistic doctrines,' 
 which he preaches with great energy in 
 the University pulpit, and in the chapels 
 of the popular "'ministers of the same 
 creed in London. His warmth in that 
 cause has brought him into some dis- 
 putes with other divines of the same uni-

 Sinclair, Sir John, Bart. LL.D. M.P. 
 and President of the Board of Agriculture. 
 He is the son of the Laird of Ullster, by 
 Lady Jane Sutherland, and was born at 
 the family seat in 1754. He was edu- 
 cated at the high school, Edinburgh, and 
 removed from thence, first to the Univer- 
 sity of Glasgow, and next to Oxford. On 
 his return to Scotland, he became a mem- 
 ber of the Society of Advocates, but never 
 followed the law as a profession. He en- 
 tered into Parliament at an early age, 
 and was for some time attached to the 
 late Mr. Pitt, but he afterwards joined 
 the opposition ; though it is observable 
 that he was adverse to the abolition of 
 the slave trade. Sir John Sinclair has 
 been very assiduous in the improvement 
 of agriculture, and it is, in a great mea- 
 sure, owing to his exertions, that the 
 board was established at which he pre- 
 sides. On the utility of such an institu- 
 tion, however, there are different opini- 
 ons ; and it would be very difficult, we 
 believe, for its warmest admirers to state 
 any practical benefit which has resulted 
 from it commensurate with the expense 
 with which it has been attended. Pre- 
 vious to the appointment of Sir John to 
 that chair, he established a society at 
 Edinburgh for the improvement of Bri- 
 tish wool. During the late war he raised 
 two battalions called the Rothsay and 
 Caithness fencibles, of both of which he 
 acted as colonel. He was created a baro- 
 net in 1786, and his hostility to Mr. Pitt 
 has been attributed to the refusal of that 
 statesman to create him a peer. His 
 works are,

 Skeffington, SirLuMLEY St. George, 
 Bart, is the only surviving son of Sir Wil- 
 liam Charles Farrell Skeffington, of Skef- 
 fington Hall in Leicestershire, and was 
 born in London in 1778. He received his 
 education in the school of Mr. Newcome, 
 at Hackney, and discovered at an early 
 age a taste for dramatic poetry. He also 
 performed in the plays which were acted 
 at that seminary, and came off with great 
 applause, particularly in the character of 
 Hamlet. In 1802, he produced, at Covent 
 Garden, a comedy called the " Word of 
 Honor," which was well received, and the 
 author was in consequence encouraged

 Smyth, James Carmichael, M. D. 
 F.R.S. and physician extraordinary to His 
 Majesty. In the year 1780 this gentle- 
 man had the charge of the prison and 
 hospital at Winchester, where a very pes- 
 tilential fever prevailed, which called 
 forth his greatest exertions. To correct 
 the contagion he had recourse to the 
 three mineral acids, the superior efficacy 
 of which was quickly felt, and subse- 
 quent trials on other occasions shewed 
 the importance of the discovery. The 
 doctor in consequence made an applica ' 
 tion to parliament for a remuneration, 
 which was granted him in 1802, but not 
 without opposition, as Dr. John John- 
 stone, of Kidderminster, set up a coun- 
 terclaim, on the ground that his father 
 had recommended the same acid as a 
 remedy against infection, many years be- 
 fore the application of it by Dr. Smyth. 
 On examination, however, it appeared

 Smyth, Sydney, M.A. late fellow of 
 New College, Oxford, and rector of Bos- 
 ton, in Yorkshire. This popular preacher, 
 who was educated at Winchester school, 
 was formerly the minister of an episcopal 
 chapel at 'Edinburgh, from whence he 
 removed to London, where he became 
 preacher at the Foundling, Berkeley, and 
 Fitzroy chapels, and also lecturer on the 
 belles lettres at the Royal Institution. 
 Having turned his attention to politics, 
 and enlisted himself among the Edin- 
 burgh Reviewers, he gained the friend- 
 ship of Lord Holland, T>y whose interest 
 he obtained from Lord Erskine, when 
 Chancellor, the living which he enjoys. 
 Mr. Smyth would still have continued to 
 reside in London, but the archbishop, his 
 diocesan, very properly informed him that 
 his eloquence would be much better em- 
 ployed in the edification of his parishion- 
 ers, which seems to have given the rector 
 so much disgust that, iija visitation ser- 
 mon, preached before his Grace, he de- 
 claimed with great virulence against the 
 country clergy, and also on the conduct 
 
 of the church with respect to the Roman 
 Catholics. In the Edinburgh Review this 
 divine took the liberty of abusing his alma 
 mater the University of Oxford, for which, 
 he got a severe castigation from the. poetry 
 professor, the present Provost of Oriel. 
 Mr. Smyth is generally supposed to be 
 the author of the letters from Peter Plym- 
 ley to his brother Abraham. His avowed 
 performances are :

 an end to that design. So strongly did 
 he imbibe the new opinions on politics : 
 which the explosion in France had pro- 
 duced, that he, with his friends Lovell 
 and Coleridge, projected a plan of settling 
 on the banks of the Susquehannah in 
 North America, and of there founding a 
 new republic. This Utopian scheme was 
 soon dissolved for the want of means, and 
 in 1795 Mr. Southey married Miss 
 Tricker, soon after which event he ac- 
 companied his maternal uncle the Rev. 
 Mr Hill to Portugal, that gentleman be- 
 ing appointed Chaplain to the Factory at 
 Lisbon. In 1801 Mr. Southey obtained 
 the appointmentof Secretary to the Right 
 Hon. Isaac Corry, Chancellor of the Ex- 
 chequer for Ireland. On retirinjg from 
 office with his patron, our author went to 
 reside in a cottage near Keswick, where 
 also dwelt under the Same roof the widow 
 of his friend Lovell and the. wife of Mr. 
 Coleridge, both which ladies are sisters 
 to Mrs. Southey. In 1813 he succeeded 
 Mr. Pye as Poet Laureat, and it must be 
 confessed that, with some slight excep- 
 tions, his> subsequent performances are 
 such as do credit to the appointment. 
 His works are :

 Soweeby, James, F.L.S. This inge- 
 nious artist and naturalist was originally 
 a teacher of drawing, but having devoted 
 
 himself chiefly to the delineating of 
 plants, he became noticed by some of 
 our principal botanists, particularly Dr. 
 Smith the president of the Linnean So- 
 ciety, who employed him to illustrate his, 
 works. Thus encouraged Mr. Sowerby at- 
 tained an extensive knowledge of natural 
 history, in which he has made such pro- 
 gress as to have collected a large museum, 
 in the use of which he is very liberal. 
 His publications are, : 
 
 A Botanical Drawing Book, or an easy Iotroductiou 
 to Drawing Flowers according to Nature, 4to. 1789- 
 2d edit. 1791. — The Florist's' Delight, containing six 
 colored Figures -with the Botanical Descriptions, fol.

 tions of the Linnean Society.

 Minister^ who has defended the eternity 
 of future punishments in a piece entitled'

 Sparke, Rt. Rev. Bowyeb. Edward, 
 D.D. Lprd Bishop of Ely* This learned 
 prelate, was formerly of Pembroke Hall,. 
 Cambridge,, where he gained the prize in 
 1779 for the best Greek epigram, and in 
 1782 obtained the Chancellor's medal. 
 The same year he h,ad the honor ofbeing 
 senior Wrangler ; and two years after- 
 wards he gained as senior Bachelor one of 
 the prizes given by the representatives of 
 the University for the best dissertation in 
 Latin prose; having the year before 
 gained that of the middle Bachelor. 
 When the competition took place for the 
 best translation of Gray's Elegy into 
 Greek, Mr. Sparke enrolled himself 
 among the thirteen candidates, and his 
 production did great credit to his learn- 
 ing and genius. Having the good for- 
 tune to become tutor to the Duke of Rut-, 
 land his advancement was the certain 
 consequence. From the Deanry of 
 Bristol he was raised to the See of Ches- 
 ter, and on the death of Dr. Dampier re- 
 moved to the valuable See of Ely. ' His 
 Lordship has published the following 
 pieces :

 the Holderness Agricultural Society. 
 This gentleman, who possesses a large 
 estate near Hull where he resides, has de- 
 voted mucl) attention to mathematics, 
 natural history and political economy. 
 A few years ago the love of paradox in- 
 duced him to attract public notice by an 
 attempt to remove the popular prejudices 
 in favor of trade and manufactures to the 
 disadvantage of agriculture. The opi- 
 nions of Mr. Spence were ingeniously 
 supported, but the general fallacy of them 
 sufficiently exposed, so that the impres- 
 sion made by his pamphlet soon disap- 
 peared. His performances are : 
 
 Britain independent of Commerce, 8vo. 1807. — The 
 Radical Cause of the Present Distress of the West India 
 Planters pointed out, 8vo. 1807. — Agriculture the 
 Source of the Wealth of Britain, 8vo. 1808.— The Ob-

 Curchod, the friend and correspondent 
 of Gibbon. She was born at Paris in 
 1768, and received the most liberal edu- 
 cation under the eye of her accomplish- 
 ed parents. But as Madame Necker en- 
 couraged an assembly of literary charac- 
 ters at her house, in which questions of 
 morals, metaphysics, and politics, were 
 freely discussed, the young lady, who 
 witnessed these debates, very early con-

 This gentleman was grand compounder 
 for his degree at St. Mary Hall, Oxford, 
 July 12, 1791 ; and, some years ago, he 
 
 sador at the Court of France, but the 
 union was far from being an harmonious 
 one, as the husband soon perceived that 
 his wife was too proud of her own intel- 
 lectual powers to pay any deference to 
 his opinions. She was besides little at- 
 tentive to those graces which give a 
 charm to the female character, and her 
 appearance was frequently such as to 
 create disgust by the carelessness of her 
 dress, and the forbidding rudeness of 
 her manners. The first publication of 
 Madame de Stael, was a vindication of 
 the character and writings of Rousseau, 
 in 1789, but prior to this, she had writ- 
 ten three short novels, which were print- 
 ed at Lausanne, in 1795. At the begin- 
 ning of the French revolution, this lady 
 took a more active part in the convul- 
 sions which overturned the monarchy, 
 than became either her sex or her situa- 
 
 obtained a patent for the manufacture of tion as the wife ofa foreign ambassador, 
 
 gun-barrels to prevent them from burst-

 Proposals for a Remedy, 8vo. 1800. 
 
 She involved herself indeed so much in 
 those scenes, as to become an object of 
 public attention ; and in 1793, she found 
 it necessary to seek an asylum in En- 
 gland; but, two years afterwards, her 
 ovu. louu. husband being appointed ambassador to 
 
 Stack, Richard, D.D. late Fellow of the French R & epubliCj she had the privi . 
 
 lege of returning to Paris; and about 
 this time she endeavoured to conciliate 
 the men in power by publishing net 
 "Thoughts on Peace addressed to Mr. 
 Pitt," a pamphlet filled with sophistry, 
 though it received the praises of Mr. Fox. 
 About this time she lost her mother, and 
 in 1798, her husband, neither of which 
 events could repress her literary ardor 
 or restrain her from publishing, for at 
 this period she wrote a play called "Se- 
 cret Sentiment," and a work, " On the 
 Influence of Literature upon Society." In 
 1800, when Buonaparte passed through 
 Switzerland, he visited Madame de Stael, 
 who talked to him a great deal about her 
 plans for the organization of France, on

 which the FirstConsul very sarcastically 
 replied: "Who educates your children, 
 Madame?" During her residence in 
 Switzerland she wrote her novel of "Del- 
 phine," the elegance of which will hardly 
 be admitted as an excuse for its tendency. 
 Shortly after this she accompanied her 
 lather to Paris, but her residence there 
 was short, for the freedom of her opi- 
 nions, and the popularity of Necker, in- 
 duced Buonaparte to pronounce a sen- 
 tence of banishment against Madame de 
 Stael, who said to him, " You are giving 
 rne a cruel celebrity ; I shall occupy a 
 line in your history." This, perhaps, 
 might be wit, but it was far from being 
 prudent; and she felt the effects of her in- 
 discretion, for having settled near Rouen 
 she was ordered to remove to a greater 
 distance from Paris, on which she with- 
 drew to Frankfort, with her friend and 
 protector, Benjamin Constant. From 
 Frankfort, Madame de Stael went to 
 Berlin, where she received the intelli- 
 gence of her father's illness, on which 
 she hastened to Weimar, but found that 
 he had died before her arrival, April 9, 
 1804. As soon as the first emotions of 
 grief subsided, she erriployed herself in 
 arranging his papers for publication, and 
 they accordingly appeared in print the 
 same year, at Geneva. In this publica- 
 tion, she was mean enough to pay a 
 lrigh-flown compliment to Buonaparte, in 
 hopes, no doubt, of softening down his 
 resentment, though the man himself, 
 and every body else, well knew that 
 the panegyric did not proceed from the 
 heart: The sentence of her banish- 
 ment remained, and to alleviate her un- 
 easiness under the decree, she travelled 
 to Italy, which produced another novel 
 full as extravagant and beautiful as Del- 
 phine. She atterwards resided, for some 
 time, at the Swedish capital, where she 
 formed a close intimacy with the Crown 
 Prince, Bernadotte, to whom she dedi- 
 cated, in a very flattering style, her little 
 work on Suicide. From Stockholm, Ma- 
 dame de Stael passed over to England, 
 where she remained while the allies were 
 marching upon Paris, to which city she 
 returned on the restoration of Louis 
 XVIII. in 1814. During her residence 
 in this country she published, 
 
 A New Edition of her Letters ou the Writings and 
 Character of Rousseau, with an Additional Preface, 
 8vo. 1813. — De l'Allemagne, or of German;, Sv. 8vo.

 but the edition was destroyed by order of Buonaparte.

 Stair, united both titles in his own per- 
 son : but upon his death without issue, 
 they separated to the other branches of 
 the respective families. The present 
 Earl was elected one of the representa- 
 tives of the Scotch peerage to Parliament, 
 in 1770, but during the American war 
 he lost his seat through his opposition to 
 ministers. On the accession of the Fox 
 and Grenville administration to power, 
 the Earl of Stair was again elected one of 
 the sixteen peers of Scotland : but at the 
 next election, he was unsuccessful. He 
 has published these tracts :

 Stephen, James, Esq. Master in Chan- 
 cery, and one of the Society of Lincoln's 
 Inn. He is a native of the West Indies, 
 and at an early age was sent to England 
 for his education, with a view to the pro- 
 fession of the law. His circumstances 
 being very narrow, and his practice limit- 
 ed, he became editor and reporter of the 
 Morning Chronicle,, till his appointment 
 to a situation in the prize court at St. 
 Christopher's. During his residence in 
 the West Indies he realized a handsome 
 fortune, and on his return to England he 
 obtained a seat in Parliament through his 
 matrimonial alliance with the family of 
 Mr. Wilberforce. For his able support of 
 government, and his unquestionable integ- 
 rity he was made a master in Chancery, 
 and latterly he has relinquished his seat 
 in the house, to attend to the duties of his 
 official situation. In Parliament he greatly 
 distinguished himself by his eloquence 
 which is uncommonly vehement; and on 
 one occasion he attracted particular atten- 
 tion by his liberality in resisting the at- 
 tempt made by the benchers of Lincoln's 
 Inn, to prevent Barristers from being em- 
 ployed as writers in newspapers. In op- 
 posing that regulation Mr. Stephen very

 candidly stated the fact that he had ho- 
 nestly earned a livelihood by that very 
 practice, and therefore he could not in 
 conscience forbear expressing his decided 
 disapprobation of such an interdict which 
 ■would go very much to cramp the intel- 
 lectual energies of young men of genius, 
 but of contracted circumstances. This 
 speech gave great satisfaction to the 
 bouse, and the benchers prudently re- 
 scinded their resolution. Mr. Stephen is 
 supposed to have been one of the projec- 
 tors of the Christian Observer, and the 
 British Review. He has also published 
 the following pieces : 
 
 War in disguise, 8vo. 1805 — Speech of the Hon, J. 
 Randolph, in the House of Representatives of the 
 United States of America, on a motion for the impor- 
 tation of British merchandize, 8vo, 1806. — American

 Stephens, Alexander, of the Inner 
 Temple, Esq. This gentleman, we believe, 
 exchanged the military profession for that 
 of the law, but without making any extra- 
 ordinary figure in the one profession more 
 than in the other. As a literary adven- 
 turer however he has been equally indus- 
 trious and successful; though his perform- 
 ances have little chance of passing down 
 to posterity. He was the editor or Phil- 
 lips's " Public Characters," after the first 
 Volume, also of the biographical memoirs 
 of the Houses of Lords and Commons 
 published at the same manufactory ; and 
 of some other compilations of equal cre- 
 dit. In his own name have appeared,

 of Kelloe, and Curate of Bishop Wear-

 respectable divine was formerly Fellow of

 and about two years afterwards became 
 curate of Bishop Wearmouth, where he 
 has laboured with great diligence and 
 much to the satisfaction of the inhabi- 
 tants. In 1806 he preached a set of ser- 
 mons on the corruptions of popery which 
 
 brought upon him some very illiberal 
 strictures from Mr. Lingard a Romish 
 Priest at Newcastle. We believe that 
 Mr. Stephenson defended bis diocesan 
 and himself in two or three sensible tracts 
 which were anonymous, besides whichhe

 Such was his progress that when he was

 to read lectures for his father, and this 
 he continued to do till the Professor's 
 death. He also taught the class of Dr. 
 Ferguson in the chair of moTal philoso- 
 phy during the absence of that gentleman 
 in America, and when the Professor re- 
 signed in 1784, his place was filled by 
 Mr. Stewart, who has enjoyed it with in- 
 creasing reputation ever since. He long 
 enjoyed the acquaintance of Dr. Reid, and 
 that friendship was of material advan- 
 tage to him in his metaphysical studies. 
 On one occasion, however, Mr. Stewart 
 seems to have acted very unguardedly 
 and in no candid manner ; we allude to 
 the election of a mathematical professor 
 in the University of Edinburgh, the cir- 
 cumstances of which were certainly far 
 from being honorable to those who exert- 
 ed themselves most strenuously to-secure 
 that chair for the person who now fills it.

 Stewart, John, commonly called the 
 Traveller ; an unhappy being whose in- 
 tellects have evidently undergone a me- 
 lancholy revolution, owing perhaps to an 
 affectation of literature, the love of no-

 the following is a specimen of this gen- 
 tleman's sublime discoveries, " The phi- 
 loptopist moving progressively on the 
 scale of good sense to the index of self- 
 knowledge or manhood makes the end 
 of the philosopher his mean to procure 
 universal good, or universal truth, to 
 all existence in unity of co-eternal es- 
 sence, co-eternal energy, and co-eternal 
 interest !" He has published :

 Sullivan had his education in the same

 she came to England and played in 
 several provincial theatres, particularly 
 Shrewsbury. At this place she married 
 Mr. Wells, a performer in the same com- 
 pany, who soon abandoned her for ano- 
 ther woman. In 1781, she made her 
 appearance at the little theatre in the 
 Haymarket, being then under the pro- 
 tection of the celebrated Captain Top- 
 liam. Owing to the embarrassed state 
 of her circumstances, she afterwards be- 
 came a prisoner in the Fleet, where she 
 contracted an intimacy with Mr. Sum- 
 bell, a foreigner, whose name she as-

 Sussex, Augustus Frederick, Duke 
 of, the sixth son of their Majesties, 
 was bom, Jan.. 27, 1773. In 1792, he 
 went to Germany, from whence he tra- 
 velled to Italy, and while at Rome, he 
 contracted a marriage, according to the 
 forms of the Romish church, with Lady 
 Augusta Murray, daughter of the Earl of 
 Dunmore, by whom he had a son named 
 George, born Jan. 13, 1794. On the re- 
 turn of the Prince and Lady Augusta to 
 England, they were married by banns, in 
 the parish church of St. George, Hano- 
 ver Square, but a suit being instituted 
 on the occasion, in the Ecclesiastical 
 Court, the union was declared null and 
 void. It has been said, that his Royal 
 Highness wrote to his father offering to 
 relinquish all right as a member of the 
 family, provided the marriage should not 
 be disturbed. Yet after this, and though 
 he had two children by the lady, he 
 abandoned her, and she was obliged to 
 apply to the Court of Chancery on J.he,ir< 
 behalf. His Royal Highness was created 
 Duke of Sussex in 1801, and on the re- 
 signation of his brother,- the Prince Re- 
 gent, he- was elected Grand Master of

 under the protection of the Richmond 
 family, by whom he was sent to the Mi- 
 litary Academy at Woolwich. At the 
 age of sixteen he was made an ensign, 
 and soon after obtained a lieutenantcy. 
 In 1789, he was promoted to the rank of 
 captain, by purchase, but sold his com- 
 mission in 1791, and two years after- 
 wards, was appointed Deputy Comptrol- 
 ler General of the Excise. During the 
 royal visit to Cuflbels, in 1801, Captain 
 Sutherland commanded the Lyndhurs|; 
 and Brockenhurst riflemen, for Major 
 Rose, on which occasion he committed 
 a laughable mistake, for when the King 
 asked how many children he had, the 
 Captain, thinking that his Majesty wanted 
 to know the amount of his company, re- 
 plied, "one hundred and thirty-five." He 
 also commanded the Local Militia in that 
 district, and was at one time a member of 
 the Athenian Club. He has published :

 Sutton, Most Rev. Charles Manners, 
 D.D. Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, is 
 the son of Lord George Sutton, and was 
 born Feb. 17, 1755. Being intended for 
 the church, he was educated first at the 
 Charter House, and next at Emmanuel 
 College, Cambridge, where, in 1777, he 
 was in the list of triposes, and took his 
 bachelor's degree. On entering into 
 orders, he obtained some ecclesiastical 
 preferment, and by his affinity to the 
 Rutland family,, was raised to the see of 
 Norwich in 1791, with which dignity lie 
 was permitted to hold the Deanry of 
 Windsor. On the death of Archbishop 
 Moore, in 1604, his Lordship, by the 
 special favor of his Majesty, was elevated 
 Lk. Cul. 
 
 to that high station, which he fills with 
 great credit and satisfaction. It is ob- 
 servable, that above eight years before, 
 the author of the Pursuits of Literature 
 
 firedicted this very removal in the fol- 
 owing encomiastic terms : " He is a pre- 
 late whose amiable demeanour, useful ' 
 learning, and conciliating habits of life, 
 particularly recommend his episcopal 
 character. No man appears to me so 
 peculiarly marked out for the highest 
 dignity Of the church, sedevacante, as Dr. 
 Sutton." This prelate married, in 17713, 
 Mary, the daughter of Thomas Thoro- 
 ton» Esq. who has brought him thirteen 
 children, eleven of whom are females. 
 One of his sons is at present judge advo- 
 cate. His Grace has only published,

 wards he was elected Fellow of Lincoln 
 College, where he proceeded B.D. June 
 5, 1783 ; and D.D. May 24, 1787. He 
 preached the Bampton Lecture in 1789, 
 on which occasion he did not print his 
 sermons within the time specified by the 
 founder. This is mentioned by old Prince, 
 the bookseller*- in a letter as. follows : 
 "The preacher for 1789, Dr. Tatham, 
 has put out only one volume. He can- 
 not have his money until he publishes 
 the whole, which he does not seem pre- 
 pared for,, as his matter is not the best 
 digested." The Doctor completed the 
 work afterwards, and he has also distin- 
 guished himself as a politician in some 
 tracts on the finances of the country.

 Tatham, William, formerly a colonel 
 in the American service; and lately su- 
 pervisor of the London Docks, was born 
 in 1752, at Hutton in the Forest, in Cum- 
 berland, of which his father was rector, as 
 he also was of Appleby, in the adjoining 
 county. This son was the eldest of five 
 children, and was brought up by his ma- 
 ternal grandmother, the widow of Henry 
 Marsden, Esq. of Gisborne Hall in York- 
 shire. He received the first part of his 
 
 tat S3g 
 
 education from a Mr. Ashburner, a 
 quaker at Lancaster, after which he suc- 
 cessively lived in the families of three res- 
 pectable clergymen who added_the office 
 of tuition to their other duties. " In 1769, 
 young Tatham was sent across the At- 
 lantic,' to seek his fortune, with only a* 
 single guinea in his-pocket. Here he was 
 introduced into the employ of Messrs. 
 Carter and Trent, merchants, on James 
 River, in Virginia ; but when the revo- 
 lutionary war broke out he joined the 
 colonial party, and was appointed adju- 
 tant of the military force.in the new dis- 
 trict of Washington. In 1777, his ser- 
 vices were rewarded by the appointment 
 of quarter master at Fort William on 
 Nolochuckie river, under General Sevier; 
 and the same year he was one of the 
 commissioners in settling the treaty with 
 the Cherokee Indians. Having been 
 employed on various occasions, civil and 
 military, he turned his attention to th« 
 study of the law, and in 1784, was ad- 
 mitted to the bar. In 1786 he laid out 
 and settled the town, of Lemberton, on 
 the banks of Drowning Creek, in North 
 Carolina, about which time also he ren- 
 dered great service to that state by his 
 surveys for improving inland navigation. 
 In 1787 he was elected a member of the 
 state legislature of North Carolina, and 
 the same year was appointed lieutenant 
 colonel in the division of Fayette. The 
 year following he visited England, where, 
 notwithstanding the part which he had 
 taken in the American war, he expe- 
 rienced a very .friendly reception. In 
 1789, he returned to Virginia, where he 
 was chosen to make a survey, of the 
 southern and western frontiers, which 
 was published afterwards at Philadelphia. 
 In 1795 he went to Spain, on a secret 
 mission, which had for its object an ami- 
 cable adjustment of differences respect- 
 ing the boundaries of America and the 
 Spanish provinces. After continuing 
 there -some months, he received a polite 
 intimation to leave the kingdom, in con- 
 sequence of which he came to London, 
 where, in 1801, he was invited to under- 
 take the superintendance of the London 
 Docks at Wapping, but the year follow- 
 ing be resigned that situation, and has 
 returned to Virginia. This intelligent 
 and entarprising man, while a resident 
 in England, published,

 Taylor, John, Esq. oculist to his ma-

 the celebrated chevalier Taylor, who made 
 himself conspicuous by his memoirs, pub- 
 lished in 1761. This chevalier, so called 
 from having been knighted abroad by a 
 petty prince, was a very extraordinary 
 character, and though not void of profes- 
 sional merit, marred the whole by his 
 egregious vanity. His son, who is a very 
 different character, has published several 
 respectable pieces anonymously, particu- 
 larly the biographical memoirs which , 
 accompany Cldell's British Gallery of havuw applied alsoto chemistry, he con 
 
 Portraits. He is also the author of: celved the ldea of beln £ able to dlscovei 
 
 among the Dissenters. At the age of 
 fifteen, however, he abandoned that pur- 
 suit and was placed under a relation who 
 was one of the officers of the dockyard at 
 Sheerness, in which situation young Tay- 
 lor had an opportunity of following his 
 inclination for the study of mathematics. 
 After residing aboutthree years at Sheer- 
 ness, he became the pupil of a dissenting 
 preacher, by whose assistance he reco- 
 vered the rudiments of the Latin and 
 Greek languages, having an intention 
 also to complete his studies at Aberdeen, 
 with a view to the ministry. But a pre- 
 mature marriage and its consequent em- 
 barrassments put an end to this design ; 
 so that he was obliged to accept of the 
 situation of an usher in a boarding 
 school which he quitted for a clerkship 
 in a banking house. While he was in 
 this employment he devoted his spare 
 hours to the study of Aristotle and Plato,

 Taylor, Thomas, commonly called the 
 Platonist, was born in London in 1758, 
 of obscure but worthy parents. In his 
 ninth year he was placed at St. Paul's 
 School, being intended for the ministry 
 
 being able to discover 
 the perpetual lamp. His trials appeared 
 to be so satisfactory that he even ven- 
 tured to exhibit a specimen of phospho- 
 ric light at the Freemasons' Tavern, but 
 by some accident the experiment failed. 
 It had the effect, however, of procuring 
 the author some powerful friends, by 
 whose assistance he was emancipated 
 from the banking house. His first effort 
 to emerge from obscurity after this was 
 by delivering twelve lectures, on the Pla- 
 tonic Philosophy, which ( procured him- 
 some considerable patronage, particularly 
 that of Mr. Meredith, of Harley Place, 
 who has borne the entire expence of 
 printing his translation of Aristotle and 
 some other of his performances. He 
 now became a private teacher of lan- 
 guages, and for, some time he was the 
 assistant secretary to the Society for the 
 encouragement of Arts, Manufactures 
 and Commerce, which situation brought 
 him acquainted with the Duke of Nor* 
 folk, who has defrayed the charge of 
 printing Mr. Taylor's Translation of 
 Plato. The works of this extraordinary 
 man are : 
 
 The Elements of a new method of Reasoning in Geo- 
 metry, 4to. 1780.— The Hymns of Orpheus, translated 
 from the Greek, with a Dissertation on the Life and

 ■contracted an intimacy with Mr. Hastings, 
 and filled several important offices. In 
 JH786 he married the only daughter of Mr. 
 
 Cornish, a respectable medical practi- 
 tioner at Teignmouth, and in 1793 he 
 was appointed Governor General of Ben- 
 gal, at which time he was created a Ba- 
 ronet. He was the bosom friend of Sir 
 William Jones, and succeeded him in the 
 presidentship of the Asiatic Society, in 
 which capacity he delivered a handsome 
 eulogy on his predecessor, which was print- 
 ed together with some other well written 
 essays of his composition in the transac-

 TriELWALL, John, was born in Chandos 
 Street, Covent Garden, and received the 
 rudiments of his education at a private 
 school in Lambeth, after which he was 
 placed in another at Highgate. He is 
 said to have been apprenticed to a taylor, 
 on whose board he recited parts of plays. 
 After this he was for a short time a stu- 
 dent at the Royal Academy, and his next 
 situation was that of a copying clerk to 
 an attorney who married his sister. On 
 the death of his principal, Mr. Thelwall 
 applied to the study of physic, and was' 
 for some time a pupil of Guy's Hospital, 
 where he composed a prize essay on the 
 principle of vitality, which he places in 
 the blood. When the French Revolution 
 broke out he took an active part in the 
 organization of political cluhs, and in de- 
 livering orations on liberty, equality and 
 the reform of parliament. For his acti- 
 vity in these concerns he was appre- 
 hended and committed to the Tower. 
 When the time of trial drew near, he in- 
 timated to Mr. Erskine his counsel an in- 
 tention to defend his own cause; " then 
 if you do," said the barrister, " I tell you 
 for your, consolation, that you will be 
 hanged." Thelwall in reply observed, 
 « Then I'll be hanged if t do." He pru- 
 dently relinquished his design and was 
 acquitted. After this he delivered a se- 
 ries of inflammatory lectures purporting 
 to have the Roman history for their sub- 
 ject, but in reality aiming at the British 
 
 constitution. These he delivered for a 
 season in Beaufort Buildings in the 
 Strand, and afterwards travelled about 
 the country on the same errand. At 
 Yarmouth, Lynn and other places, how- 
 ever, he experienced some rough treat- 
 ment, and after spending a few months in 
 Scotland, where he had a sharp 'contro- 
 versy with Mr. Jeffray, the editor of the 
 Edinburgh Review, he returned to Lon- 
 don. For some time he resided in 
 France, and afterwards settled on a small 
 farm in Wales, but being of an active 
 spirit, he turned his attention to another 
 line of business in which he has proved 
 very successful. This was the delivery of 
 lectures on elocution, uniting with that 
 profession the very flattering one of 
 curing impediments of speech. By 
 means of advertisements and printing 
 some specious pamphlets on: this subject, 
 he has been enabled to realize a hand- 
 some income. A few years ago this ad- 
 venturer published books under the title 
 of Dr. Beaufort, but for the most part he 
 has affixed his real name to his produc- 
 tions which are as follows :

 Thicknesse, Anne, was born in the 
 Temple, Feb. 22, 1737. Her maiden 
 name was Ford, and her father an emi- 
 nent Solicitor, whom she left to avoid a 
 marriage which she disliked. Her at- 
 tainments in literature and music were 
 such that she was enabled to acquire a 
 very handsome sum by a concert, after 
 which she went to reside with Lady 
 Betty Thicknesse, wife to the eccentric 
 Governor Thicknesse. On the death of 
 her friend, the Governor made her an 
 offer of his hand, which she accepted, 
 and they were married in 1762. At this 
 wedding, it is said, there were three hun- 
 dred persons of fashion present. In con- 
 sequence of the embarrassed state of 
 their affairs this couple were obliged to 
 reside abroad many years. The governor 
 died in a fit while travelling near Bou- 
 logne in 1792, soon after which his wife 
 was arrested and confined in the convent 
 of Ursulines by the Republicans. On ob- 
 taining her liberty after the fall of Robes- 
 pierre, she went to reside at Bath where 
 she publicly sung in a chapel for the 
 benefit 'of a poor labourer who had frac- 
 tured his leg. She has published :

 Thirlwall, Connop, the son of the 
 Rev. Thomas Thirlwall, was born at 
 Mile End in 1798. At the age of three 
 years he began to learn Latin, and such 
 was his progress that when he was four he 
 began Greek, making an uncommon pro- 
 gress in both languages, as also in 
 French. He was taken under the patron- 
 age of the late Dr. Percy, Bishop of Dro- 
 more, and by that means obtained a Cra- 
 ven scholarship at Cambridge. Under 
 his name has appeared a volume with 
 this title, 
 
 Primitive, or Essays.and Poems, by Connop Thirlwall 
 li years of age, with a preface by his Father. 
 
 Thirlwall, Thomas, M.A. Rector of 
 Bower's Gifford in Essex, and one of his 
 Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the. 
 county of Middlesex. He is a native of 
 Lincolnshire and was educated at Bra- 
 zenose College, Oxford, where he took 
 his degree of M.A. Nov. 24,1786. On 
 entering into orders he obtained the cu- 
 racy of the Trinity Church in the Mino- 
 
 ries, and the lectureship of Stepney, 
 where he married the widow of an apo-' 
 thecary with a good fortune. By this 
 lady he has several children, one of 
 whom is mentioned in the preceding ar- 
 ticle. Mr. Thirlwall has distinguished 
 himself as a public speaker on several 
 occasions, particularly at the India House, 
 where he is a proprietor, and he also 
 acted with such spirit in the Middlesex 
 election against the democratic party as 
 to gain an appointment to the Magis- 
 tracy. He has published:

 Tierney, Right Hon. George, M.P. 
 for Appleby. This gentleman was ori- 
 ginally intended for the bar, and had a 
 suitable educatipn in one of the Inns of 
 Court ; but his inclination led him to po- 
 litical science and financial speculations, 
 rather than the dry practice of the King's 
 Bench and Common Pleas. Having small 
 means and great ambition he made a 
 desperate effort to get into parliament for 
 Colchester, but without success, and what 
 was worse, the expences attending the 
 contest have never been paid to this day. 
 The next place where Mr. Tierney tried 
 his strength on the popular interest was 
 Southwark, against the late George Wood- 
 ford Thelluson in 1796. Here also he 
 failed on the poll, but succeeded by a

 petition in displacing his rival on the 
 treating act. In 1798 he fought a dilel 
 with Mr. Pitt, occasioned by some pointed 
 reflections which the minister had deli- 
 vered against him in the House of Com- 
 mons, but the affair terminated by an 
 exchange of shots without either of the 
 parties being wounded. On the change 
 of administration which produced the 
 peace of Amiens, Mr. Tierney was ap- 
 pointed treasurer of the navy, on which 
 occasion he obtained also a pension for 
 his lady. He now became lieutenant- 
 colonel commandant of the Somerset- 
 House corps of, volunteers, and he also 
 had the same rank in a regiment raised 
 in the borough of South wark; but shortly 
 afterwards some differences arose between 
 these bodies and their commander, which 
 occasioned a separation between them, 
 and at the next election Mr. Tierney lost 
 his seat. In the short administration of 
 Lord Grenville, this gentleman was at 
 the head of the Board of Controul for 
 India affairs, but when his party retired 
 from office, he also was displaced, and 
 ever since he has been an active member 
 of the opposition. His publications are :

 a very able and satisfactory reply, written by the late 
 George Anderson, who, from the lowest line of life, 
 raised himself by his talents to , the situation of A c- 
 comptant in the Commissioners' Office for the Affairs 
 of India. Mr. Tierney then published, with his name,

 luminous specimen in

 4to< 1806. 
 
 Tomline, Right Rev. George, D.D. 
 F.R.S. Lord Bishop of Lincoln. This 
 learned prelate is the son of Mr. Prety- 
 man, a respectable tradesman at Bury 
 St. Edmund's, at the grammar school of 
 ■which town he and his brother, Dr.' John 
 Pretyman, the Archdeacon of Lincoln, 
 received the elements of their education ; 
 after which they removed to Pembroke 
 Hall, Cambridge. The Bishop was dis- 
 tinguished at the University as a classical 
 scholar of the first eminence, and also as 
 2 good mathematician. In 1772 he was 
 senior wrangler, and in 1781, being then 
 M.A. and fellow of his college, he served 
 the, office of moderator. Having the 
 good fortune to become tutor to Mr. Pitt 
 he soon experienced the gratitude of his 
 pupil, who appointed him his private se- 
 cretary, and gave him a prebendal stall in 
 the church of St. Peter, Westminster. In 
 1787 he was made bishop of Lincoln, to 
 which preferment was added the deanry 
 of St. Paul's, and on the death of Dr. 
 Randolph, he was offered the see of Lon- 
 don, but declined that dignity, though it 
 is generally supposed that either Win- 
 chester or Durham will be found worthy 
 of his Lordship's acceptance. On ob- 
 taining a considerable estate from a rela- 
 tion he changed his name to Tomline. 
 His Lordship's publications are:

 the Gospel in Foreign Parts, 4to. 1792 — A Sermon

 he was appointed Surgeon in the royal 
 navy ; and in his treatise on the scurvy 
 he says, that he wasthe first member of 
 ' his corps who was obliged to seek em- 
 ployment in the African trade. On his 
 return from Africa in 1785 he settled at 
 a small town in Northumberland, and, 
 during his residence there, obtained his 
 Doctor's degree at Edinburgh, the sub- 
 ject of his thesis being " De Ebrietate," 
 which was praised by Dr. Cullen. By 
 the friendship of Admiral Roddam be 
 was appointed surgeon of his flag-ship at 
 Portsmouth in 1789 ; and the same year 
 he was examined before the Committee 
 of the House of Commons appointed to 
 inquire into the slave trade. In 179S he 
 was appointed physician to the Royal 
 Hospital at Portsmouth, and the next 
 year Physician to the Fleet. Dr. Trotter 
 has been for several years settled at New- 
 castle upon Tyne, where he practises 
 with great reputation, occasionally

 Trusler, John,LL.D. This singular 
 character, who may be considered as the 
 very cameleon of literature, was born in 
 London in 1735. He had no academical 
 education, but was bred to physic in a 
 very humble line, though afterwards he 
 contrived to obtain orders, and for some 
 time officiated as a curate in and about 
 London. In the year 177 1 he started a pro- 
 ject peculiar to himself, that of abridging 
 the Sermons of eminent' divines, and 
 printing them in the form of manuscripts, 
 so as' not only tq save clergymen the 
 trouble of composing their discourses, but 
 even of transcribing them. The scheme 
 succeeded, and to the disgrace of the age 
 there were not wanting many dignita- 
 ries of the Church, who gave their en- 
 couragement to this scandalous species 
 of quackery; which has found imitators 
 in one or.two beneficed clergymen of the 
 present day. • Dr. Trusler next establish- 
 ed a printing and bookselling business 
 upon an extensive and very lucrative 
 scale. He resided several years at Bath 
 on the profits of his trade, and latterly at 
 his estate on Englefield Green in Middle- 
 sex. This wholesale dealer in compila- 
 tions has manufactured the following 
 works, several of which,; however, it m,ust 
 be acknowledged, have the merit pfutj- 
 Iity. :,

 Valentia, George, Lord Viscount, 
 was born Dec. 4, 1770, at Arley Hall, one 
 of the seats of the Lyttletons, being the 
 eldest son of Arthur, Earl of Mountnorris, 
 by his first wife, Lucy Fortesc'ue Lyttle- 
 ton, only daughter of George Lord Lyttle- 
 ton, of which family she became the re- 
 presentative on the death of her brother 
 Thomas, the late Lord. His Lordship's 
 descent on the father's side is ancient 
 and noble, and on that of his mother, of 
 royal origin, her family being descended 
 from the legitimate daughter of John of 
 Gaunt, by Catherine Swinford. The 
 larger proportion of the considerable fa- 
 mily property is in Ireland. Lord Va- 
 lenlia received the early _part of his edu- 
 cation at Upton upon Severn,* under the 
 tuition of the- clergyman of that place. 
 He was subsequently removed to Stan- 
 ford in Worcestershire, and placed under 
 the care of the Rev. Dr. Butt, one of the 
 King's chaplains; till he reached his thir- 
 teenth year, at which period he went to 
 Rugby School, then raised to a very flou- 
 rishing condition by the abilities and ma- 
 nagement of Dr. James, the master. At 
 sixteen his. Lordship was entered of Bra- 
 zen Nose College, Oxford, where" he con- 
 tinued only a snort time in consequence 
 of his entering the army. In 1789 he 
 'visited France, and fixed his residence 
 chiefly at Strasburg, with a view of -feel-

 litating his acquirement both of the Ger- 
 man and French languages. On the ap- 
 pearance of the troubles in France, and 
 the prospect of a speedy rupture with En- 
 gland, his Lordship returned to his native 
 country, and soon after married Miss 
 Anne r Courtenay, one of the daughters of 
 the late Wm. Viscount Courlenay, by 
 whom he has one son. Upon his mar- 
 riage he quitted the army and settled at 
 his estate of Arley, which was bequeath- 
 ed to him by his uncle, Thomas Lord Lyt- 
 tleton, in 1T79. At this beautiful and 
 picturesque spot Lord Valenlia continued 
 to reside until June, 1802, at which pe- 
 riod he embarked for the East Indies, 
 with the intention of putting in execution 
 his long-formed and favorite project of 
 visiting the principal districts of those 
 celebrated and extensive regions, together 
 with many other interesting and remote 
 countries. He was attended on his tra- 
 vels by his draughtsman and secretary,' 
 Mr. Salt, the nephew of his Lordship's 
 former tutor and friend, Dr. Butt. His 
 Lordship returned to England at the close 
 of the year 1806, and about two years 
 afterwards was returned to Parliament 
 for the borough of Yarmouth in the Isle 
 of Wight. His Lordship has for many 
 years been a member of the Royal, Anti- 
 quarian, and Linnaan, Societies. He was 
 also one of the original proprietors of the 
 Royal Institution. He has published,

 Valpy, Richard, D.D. F.A.S. Rector 
 of Stradishall, Suffolk, and Master of the 
 Grammar School at Reading. He is a 
 native of Jersey, and had his academical 
 education at Pembroke College, Oxford ; 
 where he took the degree of M. A. June 
 85, 1784, and accumulated those of B. and 
 D.D. January 21, 1792. Dr. Valpy has 
 presided for a long period over Reading 
 School, with the greatest reputation, ana 
 he has brought up many eminent scholars 
 who now adorn the church and the world 
 of letters by their virtues and their talents. 
 Iri the Introduction to his Latin Grammar 
 the Doctor says, that by the improved 
 method which he has there laid down, 
 ■ his scholars made as great a progress in 
 three months as they usually before had 
 done in six. This excellent preceptof, 
 besides Latin and Greek play s performed 
 by his scholars, adapted some ofShak- 
 speare's for their use, and two or three 
 were, we -understand, performed for the 
 
 benefit of a public charity. One of these 
 plays so altered, King John, was brought 
 «ut, in 1803, at Covent Garden, for the 
 benefit of Mrs. Litchfield, and with such 
 effect that it was often repeated on seve- 
 ral theatres. The various publications- of"

 descended from Dutch parents. "The son 
 received his education at Merchant Tay- 
 lor's School, and next at Queen's College, 
 Oxford, where he took his degree of M.A. 
 July 17, 1790. On the deatn of the Rev. 
 Mi\ Griffiths, chaplain to the late Arch- 
 bishop Moore, lie was presented to the 
 rectory of St. Mary le Bow, where he suf- 
 fered a peculiar hardship in being sued 
 by a qui tarn, attorney for non-residence ; 
 though, as there was no parsonage house 
 in the parish, he could not well reside 
 'there. It was proved that he discharg- 
 ed the duties regularly, and that he 
 lived within a convenient distance of the 
 church, notwithstanding which, a verdict 
 was given against him, and that proved 
 the source of many vexations to other 
 worthy clergymen, both in town and 
 country, till an act was passed to put a 
 stop to these iniquitous suits. In 1804, 
 Mr. Van Mildert was appointed to preach 
 the Boyle's Lecture Sermons, which he 
 afterwards published, and these gave such 
 satisfaction, that the Society of Lincoln's 
 Inn chose him for their preacher, on the 
 resignation of Archdeaeon Nares; and the 
 present Archbishop of Canterbury, be- 
 sides giving him a living in Surrey, re- 
 commended him as a fit person for the

 of Dr. Howley to the see of London. The

 Vincent, William, D. D. Dean of 
 Westminster. This very learned Divine 
 was born in London, where his father was 
 a respectable dealer in a wholesale trade, 
 Nov. 2, 1739. In 1753 he was admitted 
 a King's scholar of Westminster School, 
 and in 1757 elected to Trinity College, 
 Cambridge, where, in 1761, he took the 
 degree of B.A. and the year following he 
 was appointed Usher ' of Westminster 
 School. In 1764 he took the degree of 
 M.A. and in 1776 that of Doctor in Divi- 
 nity. In 1778 he was presented to the 
 united rectories of Allhallqws .the Great 
 and Less in Thames Street; and about 
 the same time made Chaplain to' the 
 King, On the promotion of Dr. Mark- 
 ham to the Archbishopric of York, heap, 
 pointed his friend, Dr. Vincent, Subalmo- 
 ner. In 1788 he became head master of 
 Westminster school, but was without 
 any considerable preferment in ths 
 Church till the year 1801, when he re» 
 cejved from Mr. Addington the aeceptijr 
 ble situation of a prebend in the colle- 
 giate church of Westminster. On the 
 translation of Bishop Horsfey from Rot 
 Chester to St. Asaph, Dr. Vincent silo-* 
 ceeded the learned prelate in the deanery, 
 which was the boundary of his ambition, 
 and where he 'was content to set up his 
 staff for the remainder of his days. 
 Shortly after this the dean was engaged 
 in a controversy with some of his dighi- 
 fied brethren, occasioned by a very ihdis* 
 criminate charge which had been brought 
 against our public schools in one or two 
 public sermons. The dean naturally 
 feeling himself affected by the reflections 
 that had been thrown out in these dis- 
 courses, entered into a warm defence of 
 the seminary over which he bad long pre- 
 sided, and he succeeded in convincing 
 every liberal minded person that the ac- 
 cusation of neglecting religious instruc- 
 tion there, was sufficiently repelled. In 
 the late published correspondence of Mr. 
 Gibbon are some admirable letters of the 
 dean, which show his candor and ability

 Waithman, Robert, Common Coun- 
 cilman for the Ward, of Farringdon. He 
 was born at Wrexham in 1765, and hav- 
 ing served his apprenticeship to a linen 
 draper, became an assistant in the same 
 business, after which he opened a shop at 
 the corner of Bridge Street, Black Friars, 
 ■which he has carried on with great suc- 
 cess several years. The popularity of 
 Mr. Waithman as a city orator on all po- 
 litical occasions, no doubt contributed 
 very much to his interest in trade; and 
 this induced him at the last general 
 election to offer himself as one of the can- 
 didates, to represent the City in parlia-* 
 ment. After a sharp contest, however, 
 he failed in .his attempt, as he had before 
 done we believe in a similar endeavour in 
 conjunction with a neighbour of his of 
 the same principles at Maidstone* Mr. 
 Waitrrman married his first cousin, Miss 
 Davis', about the time of hisentering into 
 trade off his own account, which was 
 in the year 1787; and this union has 
 been productive of a large family. This 
 gentleman has printed these pamphlets : 
 
 "War proved to be thereal Cause of the present Scar- 
 city, and the enormous High Price, of every Article 
 of Consumption, 8vo. 1800. — A Letter to the Gover- 
 nors of Christ's Hospital, being a Refutation of the

 - Wake, Rev. William Robert, Rector 
 of Great Bromley and Vicar of Blackwall. 
 
 He; was formerly vicar of Sakewell in 
 Somersetshire, where he distinguished 
 himself by the part which he took in sup- 
 porting the extraordinary case of George^ 
 Lukins, who pretended to be possessed by 
 daemons. On this occasion much alterr 
 cation took place in the Western papers, 
 and some pamphlets were published by 
 Mr. Wake, Mr. Norman, and others, but 
 these are now passed into oblivion. The 
 other publications of this gentleman are; 
 
 Two Sermons on the Times, 4to. 1793. — A Literal 
 Version of the Psalms into Modern Language, g v. 
 8vo,. 1793. — A Letter to the Solicitor General, on a 
 late Trial in the. King's Bench, 8vo. 1805.

 Wakefield, Daniel, Esqi Barrister at 
 Law. This gentleman is the son of the 
 ingenious Mrs. Priscilla Wakefield, and 
 a few years since formed a very unhappy 
 connexion with a woman who pretended 
 to be a person of great family and for- 
 tune; but from whom Mr. Wakefield 
 was under the necessity of obtaining a le- 
 gal separation by a suit in the Commons: 
 He has published several pamphlets with- 
 out his name, and is the acknowledged 
 author of those which follow : 
 
 A Letter to Thomas Paine, in replyto his Decline and 
 
 fall of the English System ,of Finance, 8vo. 1796 . 
 
 Observations on the Credit and Finances of Great 
 Britain, in jeply to the Earl of Lauderdale and Mr.

 Wakefield, Edward, Esq. elder bro- 
 ther of the preceding. He had for tome 
 years a large farm in Essex, and was af- 
 terwards employed in making a surveyof 
 Ireland, in which it is pretty Confidently 
 stated by competent judges, that he nei- 
 ther displayed candor nor judgment. 
 The result of his inquiries appeared in 
 
 An Account of Ireland, Statistical and Political, 2 v. 
 4to. 1812. 
 
 Wakefield, Priscilla, mother of the 
 two preceding gentlemen. Her parents 
 were quakers of the Trewman family, al- 
 lied to the. Barclays ; but we believe that 
 she is not herself in the society of friends. 
 Mrs. Wakefield, who lives at Tottenham, 
 has been very successful in her efforts to 
 improve the rising generation ; and she 
 was also the original promoter of those 
 useful institutions called " Frugality

 Waldron, Francis Godolphin, a Ve-

 Waldron was for some time manager of 
 the theatres at Windsor and Richmond, 
 with other provincial companies^. He 
 was also a bookseller in London, and for 
 some years prompter at the little theatre 
 in the Haymarket. He obtained the ma- 
 terials which Mr. Whalley had collected 
 for an edition of Ben Jon.son's Works. 
 Mr. Waldron communicated an interest- 
 ing memoir of Thomas Davies, the book- 
 seller and actor, to Mr. Nichols, who in- 
 serted it in his Literary Anecdotes, call- 
 ing the author " my kind and very in-

 family, he took his son from school be- 
 fore the boy could read a chapter in the 
 bible. The mechanical turn of the youth 
 was not however to be smothered by 
 hard labor. He copied corn mills, paper 
 mills, and fulling mills, the models of 
 which were constructed on a brook near 
 his father's dwelling, to the surprise of 
 passengers. He also borrowed books, 
 and built a house for himself in a bush 
 to read without interruption on Sundays. 
 Thus he went on with such success, thaj; 
 a person, who discovered his' extraordi- 
 nary talents, offered him, the ushership of 
 Ledsham School, in the West Ridipgof 
 Yorkshire. Here he began his career of 
 teaching when he was. no more than fif- 
 teen years of age, and had frequently td 
 study over night what he had to impart 
 to his pupils the next morning. After, 
 continuing three years in that situation, 
 he was. chosen writing master and ac- 
 comptant to the free school at Maccles- 
 field, where he resided four years, and 
 perfected himself in mathematics by his 
 own application. At this place he em- 
 barked in trade, but failing in his busi- 
 ness, he resolved to turn her.mit in'oiie of 
 the islands on the lake of Windermere, 
 from which romantic, scheme he was di- 
 verted by the ridicule of his friends. His 
 next enterprize was that of lecturing on 
 astronomy at Manchester, where vhe met 
 with a very favorable reception, which 
 enabled him to establish an extensive 
 seminary. This however he relinquish- 
 ed for the purpose of travelling as a lec- 
 turer in natural philosophy; arid after 
 visiting most of the great towns in the. 
 three kingdoms, he visited Dr.. Priestley, 
 by whose recommendation he undertook 
 to lecture ;n the Haymarket in 1778. 
 The encouragement which he experienced 
 in the metropolis induced him to take a 
 house in George Street, Hanover Square, . 
 where he read lectures every winter- to 
 numerous audiences. He was also en- 
 gaged by Dr. Barnard,- provost, of Eton 
 College, to lecture in that seminary; 
 which example was followed by West* 
 minster, Winchester, and other great, 
 schools. Among the variety of inven- 
 tions with which Mr. Walker has amused 
 himself, may be mentioned various en- 
 gines for . raising water; three methods 
 by which ships may be easily pumped at 
 sea; carriages* to go by wind and steam; 
 the patent empyreal air stove ; the pa-> 
 tent celestina harpsichord; the Eidoura- 
 nion, or transparent orrery ; the rotatory

 Walker, J. 
 On Draining Fens, 8vo. 1812. 
 
 Walker, Johm, M.D. He was born 
 at Cockermouth, a borough town ia 
 Cumberland, in 1759. He adventured 
 to Dublin in 1779, and became a pupil of 
 Esdale, the finest artist in that city ia 
 the etching and engraving of figure and 
 landscape : here he embraced the princi- 
 ples of the quakers, laid aside his port- 
 crayon and burin, and commenced teacher 
 of the classics and mathematics. In 
 1793 he prepared for the publication of 
 the second edition of bis /Geography, 
 making extensive tours through different 
 provinces of Ireland, throughout England 
 and in Wales. From the heavy duty, in 
 the mean time, laid on books imported 
 from Ireland, he found it necessary to 
 publish in London, and his school passed 
 into the hands of the Rev. John Foster, 
 author of the Moral Essays. He now 
 thought it eligible to adopt medicine as 
 a profession, which his relations had ob- 
 jected to, on its being proposed to them, 
 when "he was yet a lad at school, that he 
 should succeed the late Dr. Woodville, in 
 
his apprenticeship tc a neighbouring apo- 
 thecary. The lady to whom he was under 
 an engagement of marriage, enabled him 
 to pursue his medical studies at London 
 and Leyden. While he was thus en- 
 gaged he visited Paris, in the very heat of, 
 the war, and there he formed an intimacy 
 •with many of the leading political cha- 
 racters of the revolution, as well French 
 as English. He also acted as secretary 
 and interpreter to the society calling 
 themselves Theophilanthropists; of which 
 ■we Believe the notorious Paine was the 
 founder. The manual of belief of this ' 
 curious sect was translated by our au- 
 thor into English, and sent to London 
 for publication. In 1799 he obtained his 
 dbctor's degree at Leyden, on which oc- 
 casion, as he persisted in wearing his 
 hat, the rector and professors did the 
 same. Shortly after his return'to Eng-, 
 land he gained permission to go to the 
 Mediterranean in a King's ship, with Dr. 
 Marshall, and while there visited the 
 coast of Egypt. When the Royal jen- 
 Jieriari Institution was established in Sa % 
 llsbury Square, he was appointed the re-' 
 sident iriociilator, with a handsome sala- 
 ry; but'having given some" offence to the 
 directors in the mode of his practice, he 
 was dismissed; on which, with the aid of 
 some friends, he established an opposi- 
 tion society in the city, assuming the 
 name of the London Vaccine Institution. 
 His publications, without mentioning the 
 articles which have appeared in the Me- 
 dical Journal and other periodical works, 
 are these:. 
 
 The Elements of Geography and of Natural and Civil 
 History, 8vo. 17,96. — The BnivRrsal Gazetteer — A 
 Dissertation on the Necessity for Contracting Cavities 
 .between the "Venous Trunks and the Ventricles of the

 ters and other Papers written during a voyage, to 
 the Levant, for the propagation of Vaccination ; and , 
 during the Campaign iri ^gypt, under Sir Kalph Aber-' 
 erombie and' General Hutchinson, now Lord Du- 
 noughmore. On this occasion he undertook the me- 
 dical caio of the brigade.of seamen ashore, after arrest* 
 ingthe progress of the small-pox throughout the army 
 and navy, in the expedition, previous to which some 
 liad fallen victims to the deleterious disease. He is, 
 also the author of various essays in different periodical 1 
 publications ; and of Rudiments of Science, under the 
 three general heads of Words, Things, and Affairs,, 
 printed, in part, but not yet published.

 and who appointed .him his agent at the 
 time that Mr. now. Sir Philip Irancis be* 
 gan to make his attacks upop the char 
 racter of the governor general and his 
 administration. Mr. Scott Waring is a 
 native of North Britain, and nearly ref- 
 lated to the noble family of Buccleugh. 
 He entered, atari earlj period of life, into 
 the India service, and manifested there 
 eqifalskill and bravery. About the year- 
 1781 he returned with $■ moderate fortune 
 and married Miss Hughes, a celebrated 
 actress, but who retired from the stage 
 on succeeding to an estate. This lady 
 died in a very melancholy manner, at the 
 beginning of 1812, by, falling down stairs 
 at her -house in Hammersmith. When 
 found in the morning she was quite dead, 
 and is supposed to have, missed her foot- 
 ing and so to have been precipitated down 
 the steps backwards. This gallant vete 7 
 ran has since expressed his admiration of 
 theatrical females by uniting himself to 
 ■the celebrated Mrs. Esten. The publica-

 admitted as a gentleman commoner of 
 Emmanuel College under the same gen- 
 tleman, and in 1776 he took the degree 
 of M.A. After this he made a tour on the 
 continent, and when he returned to En- 
 gland, made a purchase of the island of 
 Lundy, in the Bristol Channel, with the 
 romantic view of colonizing that spot. 
 This project, however, quickly termi- 
 nated, and having sold his new settle- 
 ment, lie obtained, a seat in Parliament 
 'for the borough of Great Marlow, which 
 place he twice represented. About this 
 period he was created a Baronet, and 
 served for some time with Lord Howe, in 
 America. In 1779 he w,as made master 
 and commander of a sloop of war, and 
 about a year afterwards received his com- 
 mission as Post Captain, being appointed 
 to the Ariadne of twenty guns, from 
 which ship he was soon removed to 
 L'Aigle of forty four. At this period he 
 married one of the daughters of General 
 Clavering. When the French revolution 
 broke out he obtained the command of 
 the Flora, in which ship he hoisted his 
 broad pendant as Commodore of a flying 
 squadron employed in the Channel to 
 annoy the enemy. He afterwards did 
 the same on board La Pomone, a fine 
 French frigate which he had captured. 
 While on this service he was engaged in 
 assisting the unfortunate royalists of La 
 Vendee ; but the rebellion breaking out 
 in Ireland, he was dispatched for the pur- 
 pose of intercepting any supplies or rein- 
 forcements which might be sent to the 
 insurgents from France. On tbis occa- 
 sion Sir John succeeded, Oct. 11, 1798, 
 in defeating a fleet of the enemy, and 
 capturing the Hoche, a ship of the line, 
 ■with three frigates full of troops and 
 stores. For this important service he 
 received a vote of thanks from both 
 Houses of Parliament. On the next pro- 
 motion he was made a Rear Admiral of 
 die Blue, and hoisted his flag on board 
 the Temeraire, with which ship he joined 
 the Channel fleet. In 1801 he was de- 
 tached to the Mediterranean, but the 
 peace which happened shortly after, pre- 
 vented the Admiral from distinguishing 
 himself on that station. We find him 
 next filling the high office of ambassador 
 to the court of Russia, . where he was 
 much occupied in negociations relative to 
 Malta. When hostilities broke out with 
 America, Sir John was appointed to com- 
 mand on that station, where, however, he 
 
 was superseded by Adm iral Cochrane; 
 since which he has retired to private life. 
 He has published,- though without his

 a clergyman, had the mastership of the 
 Grammar School: The son received his 
 entire education at home till he arrived 
 at a proper age to remove to the Univer- 
 sity of' Cambridge, where he was entered, 
 id 1754, of Trinity College. In 1759 he 
 took the degree of B.A. being second 
 ■wrangler; that of M.A. in 1762 ; at which 
 time' he was fellow of his college ; two 
 years afterwards he was appointed Pro- 
 fessor of Chemistry, and in 1771 created 
 D.D. by royal mandate, being the same 
 year unanimously chosen Regius Profes- 
 sor of Divinity, with the rectory of So- 
 mersham, in Huntingdonshire, annexed. 
 Being admitted a Fellow of the Royal 
 Society, he enriched the volumes of that 
 learned body with many valuable com- 
 munications, most of which he after- 
 wards incorporated in his Chemical Es- 
 says. In 1774, he was presented to a 
 Prebend in the Church of Uly, and in 
 1780 succeeded Dr. Plumptre as Arch- 
 deacon of that diocess. The same year 
 he was presented to the rectory of North- 
 wold in Norfolk, and having the good 
 fortune to become tutor to the late Duke 
 of Rutland, his patron -first gave him the 
 valuable rectory of Knaptoft in Leices- 
 tershire,- arid next exerted his interest 
 for his advancement to the bishopric of 
 LandafF. He was consecrated in 1782, 
 and soon after attracted attention by 
 a letter to the Archbishop of Canter- 
 bury, on an equalization of the church 
 revenues. In 1786 another of his pupils, 
 Mr. Luther, of Ongar in Essex, bequeath- 
 ed to him a legacy' of 20,0001. At the 
 time of the King's illness in 1789, Bishop 
 "Watson advocated the unqualified right 
 of the Prince of Wales to assume the 
 regency* which, with some other political 
 doctrines occasionally advanced by him 
 in the American War, and during the 
 French Revolution, had the effect, it is 
 supposed, of impeding his translation to 
 a better bishopric. His Lordship is an 
 admirable preacher, and the writer of 
 this well semembers the delight with 
 Which he heard him plead for the Hu- 
 mane Society on two occasions; one in 
 l79l,atSt. Martin's in the Fields; and the 
 Jiext time, in 1797, at St. Bride's Church 
 in Fleet Street. Neither of these dis- 
 courses has been printed. The Bishop 
 has greatly cultivated his estate of Cal- 
 garth Park in Westmoreland, where he has 
 planted a prodigious number of trees, with 
 such success as to gain him a premium of 
 
 the Society for the encauragerne.ntof Arts, 
 Manufactures, and Commerce. He has" 
 a numerous family; and his friendship' 
 has been sought by many distinguished' 
 personages of various countries. His pub-,

 , Watt, James, F.-R.S. and Engineer "at 
 Birmingham. Mr. Watt is * native of 
 Glasgow, where he was born about the 
 year 1737. Haying finished his gram- 
 matical, studies and laid in a stock of 
 useful elementary knowledge, he was 
 apprenticed to what is called in the 
 north an instrument 'maker, whose busi- 
 ness consists in making and repairing 
 the various machines and articles used in 
 different professions, as music* surveying, 
 navigation, &c;. After serving three 
 years he came to London, and worked 
 some time with a mathematical instru- 
 ment maker; but having contracted a 
 complaint by sitting in winter at the 
 door of the workshop, he went down- to 
 his native country where he set up for 
 himself. While he was thus employed, 
 the professor of natural philosophy in 
 ^.lie University of Glasgow engaged him 
 in repairing the old model of a steam 
 engine which by length of time had 
 grown out of use. The artist in the 
 course of his labor, was much struck 
 with the contrivance, but he soon per r 
 ceived defects which prevented it from 
 being of more general advantage. From 
 that instant he devoted himself to the 
 improvement of this machine, particu- 
 larly, with regard to the saving of heat 
 in the, production and condensation of 
 steam. By repeated observations he 
 found that near four times the quantity 
 of steam was wasted in comparison of 
 that which actually worked'the machine. 
 He therefore endeavoured to diminish 
 this waste, and after many trials heoom- 
 ■ pletely succeeded. This was about the 
 year 1763, at which period he married a 
 lady of Glasgow, without any property, 
 Lit. . Col- 
 
 by whom he had two children, which 
 obliged him to lay aside his speculations,' 
 till Dr. Roebuck, a gentleman of science^ 
 and property, joined him in his schemes,; 
 but their means we're not adequate to 
 their objects. In this , situation, Mr. 
 Boulton fortunately becoming acquainted 
 with Mr. Watt, instantly made him an 
 offer of partnership which was accepted, 
 and' Dr. Roebuck beipg reimbursed for* 
 what he had expende«l',.Mr. Watt removed 
 with his family to Birmingham, where' 
 he has ever since been employed in 
 the most extensive concerns, and in 
 the sale of his engines, for which a 
 patent was obtained, and an act of par- 
 liament to prolong its duration. Mr. 
 Watt is also the author of many other in- 
 ventions, particularly of the copying ma- 
 chine, by the help of which, what has 
 taken a person several hours to write>. 
 may be transcribed in a few seconds. 
 Soon after bis settlementin Birmingham, 
 having lost his wite, he married Miss 
 M'Gregor, of Glasgow. Though a man 
 of profound science and incessant acti- 
 vity, he is represented as being a lively , 
 companion, and very fond of reading no- 
 vels and romances. Mr. Watt has some 
 communications in the Philosophical 
 Transactions, the Philosophical Maga- 
 zine, and the Memoirs of the Manches^' 
 ter Society. He is also the author of 
 these separate works, ,

 where' be is said to' have been the rival 
 of the present Earl Grey, in a house of 
 commons consisting of Schoolboys. 
 From thence he removed to Oxford, and 
 in 1784 he succeeded to' the family ho- 
 nors and estates on the demise of his. 
 father. He was at tliis time elected into 
 parliament for Windsor, and on the 
 creation of the order of St. Patrick, he 
 was appointed one of the knights com- 
 panions of that order. lie displayed 
 great ability as a speaker in the senate 
 on the ministerial side of the house, and 
 particularly at the commencement of the 
 French Revolution, which procured him 
 the appointment of Governor Gerteral of 
 India, where his administration was 
 splendid and energetic to such a degree 
 as to draw upon him no small portion of 
 envy with some threats of impeachment, 
 which were never carried into effect. . In 
 truth his government was productive of 
 so many important and beneficial results 
 to the parent state and the company that 
 the enemies of his Lordship felt ashamed 
 of their hostility, and relinquished their 
 attacks. In 1797 he was created a Bri- 
 tish peer by the title of Baron Wellesley, 
 of Wellesley in the county of Somerset, 
 and in 1799 Marciuis Wellesley, of Nor- 
 raghin the kingdom of Ireland. At the 
 beginning of the war in the peninsula he 
 was sent on a special mission to that- 
 country, where he materially contributed 
 to the assembling of the Cortes and the 
 organization of the military force. He was 
 for some time secretary of state in the 
 foreign department, but relinquished that

 West,- Benjamin, Esq. President of 
 the Royal' Academy. He was born at 
 Springfield in Chester county, Pennsyl- 
 vania, Oct. 10th, 1738. His ancestors, 
 Who were quaker?, emigrated from Eng- 
 land with the celebrated legislator of 
 Pennsylvania,* and Mr. John West, the 
 father of the artist who was of the same 
 persuasion, went over to America where 
 the other branches of his family had set- 
 tled. He married a relation in that coun- 
 try, by whom he had ten children, the 
 youngest of whom was Benjamin. This 
 •youth discovered a strong propensity to 
 painting, at a. very early age, and though 
 that profession is not encouraged by the 
 principles of the society in which he was 
 .bred, bis friends indulged his inclination 
 so much that before he was twenty he 
 had executed many historical pictpres 
 and portraits in, various parts of his na- 
 .tivo country., In 1760 he left Phijadel- 
 
 WE3 3f9 
 
 phia for Leghorn where he procured let- 
 ters of recommendation to many persons 
 of the highest distinction at Rome, by 
 virtue of which he formed an intimacy 
 ^with Mengs, Batteni and other artists of 
 the first character in that city. Afte^ 
 spending some time in the ancient capi- 
 tal of the world, he returned to Leghorn, 
 and proceeded from thence to Florence, 
 where he pursued his studies in the gal- 
 leries of that place with such unwearied 
 ardor as considerably injured his health. 
 Having completed his tour of Italy, he 
 came to London through France, and 
 after visiting several places in England 
 was about to return to America, when by 
 the advice of Reynolds and Wilson, the 
 two greatest painters of their day, he was 
 induced to alter his resolution and to re- 
 main in this country. He had before his 
 departure from Philadelphia formed an 
 attachment to a Miss Shewell, whp being 
 apprized of hjs resolution to settle in 
 England, came over with the father of 
 her lover, and the young couple were 
 married in London in 176£. The year 
 following Mr. West was chosen a mem- 
 ber and one of the directors of the so- 
 ciety of artists, which three years after- 
 wards became incorporated with the 
 Royal Academy, in the formation of 
 which Mr. West had a principal concern. 
 It was about this time that he, had the 
 honor of being particularly noticed by 
 his Majesty, to whom he was introduce^ 
 by Dr. Drummond, Archbishop of Yqrk. 
 On this occasion the King gave him 3. 
 commission, to paint for him the picture 
 of Regulus, which was the first piece exr 
 hibitted by. Mr. West on the opening of 
 the Royal Academy in 1769.. From that 
 period his exertions have been unpa- 
 ralleled in the exient and variety of 
 his productions ; as there has not been 
 one exhibition without some distinguishr 
 ing specimen of his genius. His merits 
 as a painter, however, and the descrip- 
 tion . of his professional performance^ 
 cannot here be distinctly stated, as not 
 falling within our peculiar plan ; and 
 more especially as they will form a very 
 prominent and interesting article in the 
 Dictionary of Living Artists now in a 
 state of forwardness for the press. 
 During the short interval of peace .after 
 the treaty of Amiens, Mr. West visited 
 Paris for the purpose of inspecting the 
 works of art, and when his design was 
 made, known to his Majesty directions 
 were given to accommodate hirn wjJh

 is iS. 
 
 letters of recommendation to our minis- 
 ter there, and the high authorities of that 
 country. At Paris he received many 
 flattering marks of" distinction, and all 
 places containing works of art were or- 
 dered to be opened to him for his obser- 
 vation. Nor have the honors which he 
 has received in England been sparing; 
 for in 1772 he was appointed historical 
 painter to his Majesty; and in 1790 sur- 
 veyor of the royal pictures. In 1791 he 
 was elected president of the royal aca- 
 demy, and the same year l>e was chosen 
 a member of the society of Dillettanti. 
 In 1792 he was chosen a member of'the 
 society of Antiquaries, and in 1801 a go- 
 vernor of the Foundling Hospital. Jn 
 1804 he became a member of the Royal 
 Institution.' Abroad he has been chosen 
 a member of the academy of Florence ; 
 a member of the National Institute at 
 Paris, and also of the Philosophical So- 
 ciety of Philadelphia. . He is besides a 
 member of the society established at 
 Boston for the encouragement of arts 
 and sciences; and of the academy of 
 arts at New York. At the close of a 
 long and active life devoted uniformly' to 
 the higher branch of art, which he. has 
 cultivated in a manner that wiil be 
 equally glorious to himself and his royal 
 patron, Mr, West produced the largest 
 picture ever exhibited, and pne which 
 displays the most vigorous powers of 
 conception and execution. This is. the 
 great painting of our Saviour presented 
 to the view of the people by Pilate; and 
 which followed trie truly admirable one 
 of Christ healing the sick. In the pre- 
 sent year, we are concerned to say that 
 this incomparable artist and truly amia- 
 lile man had the misfortune of losing his 
 wife, to whom he had been married above 
 fifty years. Mr. West has written two 
 excellent letters on the advantages of 
 sculpture to painting, which are inserted 
 in Lord Elgin's Memorandum of his 
 Pursuits in Greece ; and besides these, 
 he is the author of 
 
 A Discourse delivered to the Students of the Royal 
 Academy at the Distribution of Prizes ; and a Speech 
 at the Anniversary Meeting, 4to. 1793. We believe 
 that he has alsp printed but not published, an Ad* 
 dress to the Sovereign on the State and Advance- 
 ment of the Fine Arts in England. 
 
 West, Jane, the wife of a farmer in 
 Northamptonshire j who has, notwith- 
 standing' the narrowness of her education 
 and the variety of her occupations at the 
 head of a numerous family, found time 
 to cultivate her genius and to produce 
 
 several works which have justly exper 
 rienced a very favorable reception irom 
 the public. These publications are,

 follow his natural propensity to the study 
 of the fine arts. He has succeeded emi-

 Westall, William, brother of the 
 preceding artist, and himself very emi- 
 nent as a landscape painter, in which 
 capacity he was engaged to accom- 
 pany Captain Flinders on his voyage of 
 discovery. During that important, but 
 ill-fated expedition, Mr. Westall drew 
 many beautiful views, some of which 
 have been engraved at the expense of 
 the Admiralty for the illustration of the. 
 narrative of that voyage. Afterwards. 
 Mr. Westall made some other voyages, 
 with the intention of improving, his gene- 
 ral acquaintance with the beauties of 
 nature, but to the detriment of his health.

 Wilberforce, William, Esq. M.P. 
 and Director of the Sierra Leone Com- 
 pany, This friend of the human ' race 
 was born in 1759, at Hull, of which town 
 his grandfather was twice mayor. By 
 the death of Mr. Wilberforcc's father, 
 while he was very young, the care of his 
 
 education devolved on his mother, who 
 placed him under the Rev. Mr. Pocking- 
 ton, and afterwards in the grammar school 
 superintended by the exemplary Joseph 
 Milner. About the year 1775, he was 
 entered' at St. John's College, Cambridge, 
 and while at .the university he contracted 
 a close friendship with the late Mr. Pitt; 
 and the "present Dean of Carlisle. On 
 coming of age, he was chosen one of the 
 representatives for his native town, and 
 at the general election he was returned 
 for that place, and also for the county of 
 York, when he made his option lor the 
 latter. In 1787 he brought forward a 
 motion for the abolition of the slave trade, 
 in consequence of which a vast number 
 of petitions appeared in favor of that mea- 
 sure from all parts of the kingdom. The 
 next year Mr. Pitt, in the name of his' 
 friend Mr. Wilberforce, who was at that 
 time ill, submitted some resolutions ore 
 the subject to the house; but thebusi-' 
 ness was delayed tilt the following ses- 
 sion, when the propositions were support- 
 ed by Wilberforce, Pitt, Burke, and Fox : 
 and the question carried without a divi- 
 sion. Still the great work was not yet 
 completed, and our great philanthropist 
 had to contend with many formidable 
 interests .in the ' progress of his benevo- 
 lent object; By repeated discussions, 
 however, the traffic became moderated,' 
 arid the condition of the slaves in our 
 colonies was considerably improved. At 
 length, however, the consummation of 
 this-triumph-of humanity was effected by' 
 parliament; and there. is reason to hope 
 that the eNample which this nation has 
 set will operate on all the other states 
 of Europe, as well as America. • But the 
 generous . efforts of this excellent man 
 have not been confined to one description 1 
 of his fellow creatures,' for every charity 
 in the empire, and every subscription for 
 the relief of the distressed,' have "been 1 
 aided by his purse, and recommended by 
 his eloquence. In the great contest for 
 the county of York, carried on by the fa- 
 milies of Fitzwilliam and Lascellesj Mr. 
 Wilberforce was put to a considerable ex-< 
 pense, bat on that Occasion he had the 
 satisfaction of seeing how much he was" 
 beloved, not only in his native county, but 
 in every part of the' kingdom. Though 
 he was successful inHhat instance, he 
 deemed it prudent to retire at the next 
 election,- since which he has sat for Branrf 
 ber in Sussex. About the y gar 1 1 Oft, Mr.' 
 Wilberforce married Miss Spooner, the

 , Williams, David ; born in Glamor-

 of training up youths to the dissenting 
 ministry. His first appearance in that 
 character was at Frome in Somersetshire, 
 from whence he removed to take the 
 charge of the Meeting at Exeter where 
 ' Peirce and Hallett had officiated. Here 
 he attempted to introduce a reformed li- 
 turgy, as it was called, which for a little 
 while rendered him popular; but the le- 
 vity of the preacher and some supposed 
 deviations from that line of conduct which 
 ought to mark the Christian pastor, oc- 
 casioned his dismissal and he was obliged 
 to quit the West of England abruptly. 
 He then settled in London, and, for a lit- 
 tle time, acted as minister to a small con- 
 gregation at Highgate; but as his prin- 
 ciples were rather free, be soon broke off 
 his connexion with the dissenters, and 
 commenced ,a new plan of education, 
 which promised wonders and ended in 
 nothing. This scheme, however, he car- 
 ried on for some time at Chelsea, and had 
 Dr. Franklin for a lodger, with whom he 
 concerted the plan of establishing a deist- 
 ical congregation. The project, on being 
 matured, was brought out with great pa- 
 rade at a chapel in Margaret Street, Ca- 
 vendish Square ; and amopg others who 
 contributed towards the support of this 
 
 attempt to undermine Christianity the 
 great Frederick of Prussia was mentioned. 
 For some time the novelty attracted great 
 notice, and many persons of distinction 
 attended the lectures, but infidelity itself 
 affords few charms for the public, and 
 certainly is ill calculated for popular inr • 
 struction, so that it is no wonder the cha- 
 pel was sopn deserted, and this minister 
 of the religion of nature left to exert his 
 wits in some other calling. At the break* 
 ing out of the French revolution our au- 
 thor was honored with the approbation of 
 the botchers who were busily employed 
 in the manufacture of constitutions; and 
 he was actually invited over by them to. 
 assist them in their labors. Mr. Williams,, 
 however, had more good sense and libe- 
 rality than to encourage the desperate 
 leaders in the troubles of that country in 
 their ferocious designs ; and he had even 
 the courage to oppose them, for which 
 he was denounced as aroyalisjc £)n this 
 he returned to England^and soon after 
 was employed by Mr. Bovysyer to write a 
 continuation of the History of England 
 from the Revolution, but the manner in 
 which he performed this service giving 
 just offence he was dismissed. The best 
 performance of Mr. Williams was that of 
 establishing the Literary Fund, for which 
 he has been rewarded by a provision out 
 of the funds of that institution, and a 
 residence in the house. His publications 
 are :

 Williams, Helen Maria, a lady who 
 has figured very considerably during the 
 revolution in France, where she has re- 
 Sided almost from the very beginning of 
 its troubles. In 1779 she resided at 
 Berwick, but not long afterwards came 
 to London, under the patronage of Dr. 
 ' Kippis, who first introduced her to the 
 world as a, writer, when she was about 
 eighteen years old. The success of her 
 •first poem encouraged her to pursue the 
 'literary career in a variety of ways; but 
 that in which she was most, eminently 
 successful, was in the character of a no- 
 velist. Two volumes of her poems were 
 ^published by subscription and produced 
 her a considerable sum, which enabled 
 her to visit France about the year 1788. 
 The reception she experienced in that 
 country induced her to' leave her own 
 entirely in the turbulent era of 1791, 
 and she has continued to reside at 
 ■Paris ever since. During the reign of 
 Robespierre, she was for some time con- 
 fined in the Temple ; but when the ty- 
 rant fell, she obtained her release, and 
 resumed her literary and political course, 
 having the noted Mr. Stone for her friend 
 and protector. Though a violent repub- 
 lican, this woman- could stoop to eulogize 
 the late usurper of France; and, to her 
 eternal disgrace, she undertook the em- 
 ployment of editing the Correspondence 
 of Louis XVL accompanying all the let- 
 ters with the basest calumnies, and the 
 most brutal observations. The following 
 is a list of her publications :

 Williams, John, a literary aspirant 
 of the lowest description, who would have 
 done well in keeping always concealed 
 under his assumed name of Anthony Pas- 
 qoin, but as he hath frequently publish- 
 ed under his real denomination, we must 
 give him a place from necessity. 'He was 
 born in the metropolis and had his educa- 
 tion at Merchant Taylor's School, where 
 he suffered chastisement for an epigTam 
 upon Mr. Knox, the third master. At 
 the age of seventeen, he was placed 
 with a painter, but quitted that profes- 
 sion to commence author and translator. 
 When he was no more than eighteen, 
 he wrote a defence of Garrick against Dr. 
 Kenrick, which procured him the friend- 
 ship of the British Roscius. About two 
 years afterwards, he went to Ireland, and 
 during his residence in Dublin, he edited 
 several periodical publications ; but hav- 
 ing attacked the government during the 
 administration of the Duke of Rutland, 
 a prosecution was commenced against 
 him, and he wasobliged to decamp, leav- 
 ing the printers to endure the judgment. 
 In 1784, he was associated with Mr. Bate 
 Dudley in conducting the Morning He- 
 
1815.

 raid, but a violent quarrel breaking out 
 between them, Williams wrote an intem- 
 perate satire on his antagonist for which 
 he was prosecuted. The action, however, 
 terminated by the interference of some 
 friends. In 1787,Wiliiams accompanied 
 his friend Pilon to France, and on his re- 
 turn, commenced a paper called " The 
 Brighton Guide." He next settled at 
 Bath, from which place he was also under 
 the necessity of withdrawing precipitate- 
 ly; and in 1797, we find him in the court 
 of King's Bench, as plaintiff in an action 
 against Faulder the bookseller, for a libel 
 contained in Mr. Gifford's poem, entitled 
 " The Baviad," where, in one of the notes, 
 the author speaking of this scribbler, ob- 
 serves, that " he was one so lost to every 
 sense of decency and shame, that his ac- 
 quaintance was infancy, and his touch 
 poison," In this cause the plaintiff was 
 nonsuited, solely from the proof that was 
 exhibited of his having himself grossly 
 libelled every respectable character in the 
 kingdom, from the sovereign down to the 
 lowest of his subjects. Some time ago 
 this raaa was engaged as a theatrical re- 
 porter in one of our newspapers ; but 
 happening to write a critique on a cele- 
 brated actor, who, in fact, did not perform 
 at all on the night when he was described 
 as having murdered his part, the calum- 
 niator was dismissed. His publications, 
 as far as we think them worth enumerat- 
 ing, are as follow:

 ish prisoners at Jaffa. .The circumstances 
 related by Sir Robert 'produced a great 
 sensation, and were strongly suspected of 
 being apocryphal, had not the silence of 
 the French authoritieson the one hand, 
 and the corroborating evidence of many 
 respectable witnesses on the, other, con- 
 tributed to support the integrity, of bis 
 narrative. At present the veracity of the 
 Jiistorian cannot be called in question, 
 and his work stands in the highest esti- 
 mation as a military journal, and an im- 
 portant record. When the war broke out 
 in the peninsula, Sir Robert was employ- 
 ed in organizing the troops of Portugal, 
 which service he accomplished with dis- 
 tinguished honor to himself, arid the 
 army which he formed and systematized. 
 To such a pitch of perfection indeed did 
 he bring the Portuguese recruits, that the 
 French general in one of his bulletins, 
 complained of our having clothed British 
 veterans in the dress of the native troops 
 by way of deception; which charge pro- 
 bably was the finest compliment that 
 could have been paid both to the one and 
 the other. When the struggl e for univer-r 
 sal dominion was transferred by Napoleon 
 from the South of Europe to the heart of 
 Russia, Sir Robert Wilson hastened to 
 that country, where he manifested so 
 much energy and skill, as to draw down 
 upon him' some bitter censures and re- 
 proaches in the official French accounts. 
 He was at the head quarters of KutusofF 
 when Lauriston appeared there with over- 
 tures from his rnaster for an armistice; 
 and ifcis generally believed that the most 
 complete confidence was placed in the 
 counsels of our brave countryman at that 
 momentous crisis. The publications of 
 Sir Robert are

 WRANGHAM,ReV.FRANCIS, M.A. F.R.S. 
 
 Rector of Hunmanby, Yorkshire. He was 
 a student of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, 
 where he shared largely in the honors 
 bestowed upon those members who are 
 most diligent in their studies ; but after- 
 wards he removed to Trinity College, of 
 which society he is still a member. He 
 was third wrangler at taking his bache- 
 lor's degree in . 1790 ; and the same year 
 he obtained Dr. Smith's second mathe- 
 matical prize, and the Chancellor's first 
 classical medal. While an undergraduate 
 he had gained one of Sir William Browne's 
 medals for Greek and Latin epigrams; 
 and he has been subsequently successful 
 in obtaining four of Seaton's prizes for 
 poems on sacred subjects. In 1805, when 
 a prize was given by Dr. Buchanan for 
 the best poem, written by any member 
 of the University, upon " the Restoration 
 of Learning in the East," Mr. Wrangham 
 was a candidate, and though the prize 
 was awarded to another, he was com- 
 plimented with a request to print his per-

 Burton Hall ^ar Bedal, Yorkshire,

 %lx Lord, „ 
 
 When the venerable Archdeacon 
 Blackbume, and other respectable clergy- 
 men of the Church of England, proposed, 
 about thirty-four years ago, to petition 
 Tarliament for relief respecting Subscrip- 
 tion to our Articles of Religion, I thought 
 It my duty to concur in the measure. 
 Since that time I have taken various op- 
 portunities publicly to avow my humble 
 opinion, that a temperate Reformation 
 an the System of our Church would be 
 •dvantageous to religion ; particularly 
 that it would tend to promote the cause 
 ^f truth £nd sincerity, by freeing the 
 Clergy from many painful and distress^ 
 
 wtv 
 
 18f5.. 
 
 ing difficulties, which at present embar- 
 rass them, if subscription to our Articles 
 of Religion were discontinued : that it 
 would render our forms of public worship 
 still more affecting and more edifying, 
 than they are, and probably would recon- 
 cile and re-unite to our Church many 
 pious Protestants, who differ on some 
 points of smaller moment, but agree 
 with the established religion in all its 
 most important doctrines, if our Litur- 
 gy were duly corrected by the wisdom 
 and authority of the Governors of the 
 Church ; removing some unnecessary re- 
 petitions, some obscure expressions, and 
 some metaphysical doctrines-, which oc- 
 cur in the Creeds and Prayers ; expung- 
 ing every blemish of unscriptural lan- 
 guage which may be found in them, or 
 in any other part of the Book of Common 
 Prayer; and in conformity with the ex- 
 ample of the gospel, uniformly address- 
 ing prayer to God alone, yet still through , 
 the mediation of our blessed Saviour Je- 
 sus Christ. 
 
 And now, my Lord, having lived to 
 an advanced age, and observed no appear- 
 ance whence it may be collected that any 
 such Reformation in the Church is in- 
 tended by the Bishops, I think it pro- 
 per that I should add, before t am disa- 
 bled by the infirmities incident to my 
 time of life, the farther testimony of my 
 unaltered sentiments in favor of an Eccle- 
 siastical Reformation, such as I have here 
 alluded to, by tendering to your Lordship 
 my resignation of the rectory of Black 
 Notley : and I do tender to you my re- 
 signation of it accordingly, for the rea- 
 sons, and with the views, here stated. At 
 the same time I think it right to declare, 
 that, by making this tender to your Lord- 
 ship, I ought not to be understood to act 
 from motives of hostility to the Church 
 of England, or of partiality to any other 
 church or sect of Christians. I wish to 
 satisfy my mind, by thus retiring from my 
 station as aminister of oui Church; but.it 
 is not my intention to separate myself from 
 her communion. I have the honor to be, 
 my Lord, your most humble servant,

 management of the farm at Bradfield. 
 Here he experienced many losses and dis- 
 appointments owing to his inexperience 
 and propensity to new theories and pro- 
 jects: the event of which was a tempo- 
 rary removal from the estate. He now 
 took a farm in Hertfordshire near North 
 Mimms, where he made numerous ex- 
 periments, but after residing there about 
 nine years he found his embarrassments 
 increase, in consequence of which he re- 
 turned to Bradfield Hall, and his mother 
 dying soon after he came into full posses- 
 sion of the estate. He now commenced 
 his career as an author, and an agricultu- 
 ral tourist, beginning with his travels. in 
 Ireland', which he completely surveyed 
 • in successive visits from 1776 to 1779. In 
 1784, he began his well known Annals of 
 Agriculture, a work which abounds with 
 valuable information, on a vast variety of 
 subjects connected with rural economy 
 and topography. In 1787, Mr. Young 
 Jnade an excursion to France, in which 
 journey he was accompanied by M. La- 
 zowski, and the Duke de la Rochefou- 
 cault. He returned to that country in 
 1J89, and completed his agricultural sur- 
 vey, of which he published an account.

 riod and his appointment as secretary to 
 the Board of Agriculture, was filled up by 
 a variety of .pursuits of practical utility; 
 being either engaged upon his own farm, 
 or in making observations and improve- 
 ments in different parts of the kingdom. 
 When Sir John Sinclair succeeded in pre- 
 vailing on Mr. Pitt to establish the board, 
 he had also interest enough to secure the 
 nomination of Mr. Young to the place of 
 secretary, with a salary of four hundred 
 pounds a year, and this office he has held 
 with credit ever since. Waiving all ob- 
 servations on the utility of such an insti- 
 tution itself, or of the general conduct of 
 the board ; it is but justice to say, that 
 the secretary has been indefatigable in 
 his exertions for the accomplishment of 
 th/meievis which constituted the ostensi- 
 ble grounds of this legislative measure. 
 Mr. Young has personally made and pub- 
 lished several surveys, and he has been 
 the instrument of adopting many excel- 
 lent regulations and improvements, parr 
 ticularly with respect to the breed and 
 management of cattle. Yet it is some- 
 what extraordinary, that so zealous a 
 friend to new discoveries should have 
 Uniformly, and rather pertinaciously, op- 
 posed the practice of the " drill husban- 
 
 dry," even after the importance and be- 
 nefit of that mode of cultivation has been 
 clearly ascertained. The publications of 
 Mr. Young, without enumerating his va- 
 rious communications through the "An- 
 nals of Agriculture, and other miscella- 
 neous collections, are as follows :

 native county. This gentleman made 
 himself remarkably conspicuous on the 
 trials of Arthur O'Connor and- his asso.- 
 ciates at liflaidstone, by a letter to a gen- 
 tleman of Bury St. Edmund's in which 
 he said " I everted all my eloquence to 
 convince three of the gentlemen vyhohad 
 bpeja summoned as jiiryinen on these 
 trials bow absolutely necessary it was, at 
 the present moment, that tt»e felons 
 should swing. That the acquittal of 
 Hardy and Co. laid the foundation of the 
 present conspiracy, &c. I urged .them 
 by all possihle means in my power, to 
 hang them through mercy, as a menio- 
 rial to others. That had others suffered, 
 the deep laid conspiracy which is coming 
 to light, would have been necessarily 
 crushed in its infancy. These, with many 
 other arguments, I pressed with a view 
 that they should go into court, avowedly 
 determined in their verdict no matter 
 what the evidence." This letter was 
 read in court, and. produced so power- 
 ful a sensation in the mind of the judge 
 and the whole court, that a rule was. 
 made to strike off from the list of jurors 
 all the persons of that hundred, and the 
 severest animadversions were pronounced 
 on the writer. Since the peace, this re- 
 verend patriot has published a declara- 
 tion in the newspapers, saying that he 
 has purchased lands in the Crimea where 
 no tax-gatherer is seen, and inviting hjs 
 countrymen to emigrate with him to that 
 blessed region. His performances are :

 Zouch, Rev. Thomas, D.D. F.L.S. Pre- 
 bendary of 'Durham, and Rector of Wy- 
 clifFe in Yorkshire. This venerable di- 
 vine was born in 1737, at Sandal near 
 Yorkshire, and in 1757 removed from the 
 school of the latter place to Trinity Col- 
 lege, Cambridge. In 1760 he was elect- 
 ed into one pf Lord Craven's scholarships, 
 along with Mr. Joah Bates, celebrated 
 afterwards for his skill in music. The 
 year following Mr. Zouch took his de- 
 gree of Bachelor of Arts, and was classed 
 as the third Wrangler. Having been 
 chosen fellow of his College in 176S, he 
 was appointed assistant tutor, which of- 
 fice he discharged' with extraordinary 
 credit, though his assiduity so much im- 
 paired his health that' he was obliged to 
 quit the University : on which his Col- 
 lege presented him in 1770 to the rectory 
 ofWycliffe in the North Riding of York- 
 shire. Jn this .country retirement he 
 continued many years, performing the 
 office of a parish priest with great dili- 
 gence, and augmenting his knowledge of 
 natural history. His botanical excursions 
 in a pleasant and romantic part of York- 
 shire, contributed not a little to invigo-, 
 rate his constitution. By the death of 
 his elder brother, the Rev. Henry Zouch, 
 in 1795, he succeeded to an estate at 
 Sandal, where he now resides. On the 
 demise of Dr. Smith, the Master of Trin- 
 ity College, one of the most learned ma- 
 thematicians of his age, he was requested 
 by the vice-master and senior fellows to 
 
 deliver a Latin funeral otation in honor 
 of his memory, which' is said to have 
 been much admired for the classical ele- 
 gance of its language. In 1798 Mr. Pitt 
 had an idea of appointing him to the 
 mastership of Trinity, which design how- 
 ever was set aside in favor of the present 
 Bishop of Bristol. But in 1805, the same 
 minister gave him the second prebend in 
 the Church of Durham, and the Same 
 year he look his degree of D.D. In 1808 
 the see of Carlisle "was offered to Dr. 
 Zouch, but ifi consequence of his adv 
 vanced age and retired habits he thought 
 proper to decline the acceptance. Be- 
 sides some anonymous publications, he is 
 the author of,

 ABBOTT, Right Hon. Charles. The 
 father of the Speaker was a schoolmaster 
 in Devonshire, who left his fampy in 
 good circumstances. The widow' mar- 
 ried Mr. Jeremy Bentham, an eminent 
 practitioner in Chancery, who behaved 
 with paternal tenderness to the children, 
 and\gave them an excellent education at 
 Westminster School and Christ Church, 
 Oxford. The eldest of these, M?. John 
 Fa'rre Abbott, was called to the bar, and, 
 having married a lady of fortune, he was 
 thereby enabled to purchase the valuable 
 situation of Clerk of the Rules in' the 
 Court of King's Bench, with a condition, 
 that in the event of his demise the place 
 should devolve to his brother, which it 
 did shortly afterwards. Mr. Charles Ab- 
 bott was elected to Oxford -as King's 
 Scholar, from the foundation,and proceed- 
 ed B.C.L. April SO, 1783, and D.C.L. as 
 grand compounder, March 23, 1793. He 
 incurred some animadversion from the 
 advocates for Catholic emancipation, as 
 it is called, on account of 'his, remarkable 
 observations on that measure in a speech 
 to the throne, at the close of the session 
 in 1813: and in the ensuing meeting of 
 parliament an attempt was made by op- 
 position to fasten a public vote of cen-

 fell to the gtound. Besides the works 
 already mentioned he is the author of

 In 1792 'he, accompanied Lord Macartney 
 in his embassy to the. court of China, and, 
 oh his return, various drawings selected 
 from his 1 , numerous sketches were ej)- 
 gravefl to illustrate Sir George. Staunton's 
 narrative 6f that voyage. Not long after 
 h,is return to England, Mr. Alexander 
 published a work ' eptitled " The Cos- 
 tume of China," containing forty-eight 
 colored engravings with descriptions ; 
 which was so well received by the public, 
 as to encourage the author to bring out 
 another fasciculus, on the same subject, 
 comprising a similar quantity of plates 
 and letter press, though the engravings 
 are of a different character. On the for- 
 mation of the Royal Military College at 
 Great Marlow, Mr. Alexander was ap- 
 pointed' Professor of Drawing ip that -in- 
 stitution, which situation he resigned on

 Andrews, Miles Peter, Esq. died at 
 lis house in Cleveland row, July 18, 1814. 
 His father v was intimately acquainted 
 with the principal dramatic writers and 
 performers of his time; particularly Gar- 
 Tick and Foote, whose conversation it is 
 supposed gave the son "a turn for tbea- 
 trical composition. He was the hosom 
 friend of Thomas Lord Lyttleton who 
 died in 1779, and it is said that as that 
 nobleman had a presage of his dissolution, 
 so Mr. Andrews obtained an intimation 
 of that event in a way equally supernatu- 
 ral. Being in bed at Dartford with a 
 candle in the room, he saw, as it is sup- 
 posed in a dream, the appearance of his 
 lordship dressed in a- damask night gown, 
 such as he usually wore in a morning, and 
 the spectre said, " Andrews, 'tis all over 
 with me." On returning to town Mr. An- 
 drews received a letter informing him of 
 the death of his friend at the very time 
 that he had seen this appearance of him. 
 The death of Mr. Andrews was also sud- 
 den, for he had just before sent out two 
 hundred cards of invitation to his ac- 
 quaintance to see the fireworks in the 
 park from his house. 
 
 Anspach, the Margravine op. This

 her friends were obliged tO/interpose and 
 effect a separation. Her letters, descrip-

 through in her travels, were printed at 
 first for the benefit of M. Mercier, and 
 having become exceedingly scarce, anew 
 edition with additions was published in, 
 one volume quarto 1814. Since that her

 Astley, Philip. This singular man 
 was a private in Elliott's regiment of 
 light horse, on quitting which service he 
 collected some performers and establish- 
 ed an equestrian theatre in St. George's 
 Fields, which succeeded so well in Eng- 
 land that the manager went tp France 
 and formed a similar concern' at Earis, 
 but was obliged to relinquish it on the 
 breaking out of the Revolution. He then 
 served as a volunteer under the Duke of 
 York in Flanders, which procured him the 
 patronage of his Royal Highness. After 
 conducting several mirior theatres with 
 great spirit, by which he realized a con- 
 siderable property, he res-ignefl his con- 
 cerns to his son and retired to private 
 life. He died of the gout in his stomach 
 at Paris in November 1814. 
 
 Auckland, William Eden, Lord. 
 The family of Eden was settled in the 
 county of Durham in the 14th century, 
 for by an episcopal inquisition made in 
 1413, it appears that Robert de Eden 
 died possessed of three messuages and 
 ten oxgangs of land with their appen- 
 dages held in capite pf the bishop. Sir 
 Robert Eden, the first baronet, died in 
 1720, having enjoyed the title which was 
 created in him forty-eight years. Sir 
 Robert Eden, the third baronet, had a 
 large family of whom the late lord was 
 the fourth child, educated at Eton and 
 Christ Church, Oxford, where he took 
 the degree of M.A. June 2, 1768. About 
 the same time he was called to the bar by 
 the hon. society of the Middle Temple, 
 and for a few years he went the Northern 
 circuit with his friend Wedderbourne af- 
 terwards Lord Chancellor. His publica- 
 tion on the perjal laws brought him into 
 notice with the minister, by whom he 
 was made Under Secretary of State for 
 the Northern Department, in which si- 
 tuation he gave such satisfaction as to 
 be appointed one of the directors of 
 Greenwich Hospital. He also obtained 
 the patronage of the Duke of Marlbo- 
 rough, by whose interest he was elected 
 into parliament for Woodstock. In 1776 
 he was nominated one of the Lords Of

 for his loyal services, but the patent not 
 being sealed the title was confirmed in 
 due form at the restoration. The present 
 baronet, who is the sixth, succeeded his 
 father in 1789. He married Susanna, 
 daughter and heiress of Robert Bristow, 
 in Hampshire, and by her had an only 
 child who died, to the great grief of her 
 parents, March 13, 1791. The family 
 has two seats, one called Ashbourne Hall,

 From the purest motives, the fear of not 
 being qualified to discharge the duty, he 
 declined taking orders, though- a very va- 
 luable living was offered to him by a no- 
 ble duke, and his circumstances were far 
 from being affluent. The new edition of 
 his excellent poems was the cause of the 
 mistake in placing his name among liv-

 suit; and after taking his doctor's degree

 Beamah, Joseph. This ingenious me- 
 chanic was born at Stainsborough in 
 Yorkshire, April 2, 1749. His parents 
 intended him for their own occupation of 
 farming, but at the age of sixteen an in- 
 curable lameness in his right leg altered 
 their designs, and he was bound appren- 
 
 tice to a carpenter and joiner who -was 
 a man of considerable ingenuity. 1 Pre- 
 vious to this, young Bramah had evinced 
 his mechanical genius, and among othef 
 things, he had actually constructed two 
 violoncellos and a violin. Having served 
 out his time he came to London, and after 
 working as journeyman to a cabinet mar- 
 ker, he began business for himself in the 
 same line. Happening to be emplqyed in 
 constructing some water closets, he.form- 
 ed an idea of improving those articles, in 
 which he' succeeded so well as to- take 
 out a patent. After this he went on ex>- 
 ercising his genius in various inventions, 
 the principal of which were his locks and 
 his hydraulic machines. For some time 
 before his death he was employed in 
 erecting' several large works on the 
 bank of the Thames for sawing stones 
 and deals; but by over exertion he 
 brought on a complaint which carried 
 him off rather suddenly, early in lcftS, 
 in the sixty-sixth year of his age. «,

 periodical publications, and at length he 
 ventured upon compilations of a topogra- 
 phical character, which were successful. 
 He had, however, dexterity enough to call

 pursuits and practical knowledge were 
 calculated to give an air of originality, to 
 the works on which they were employed.

 Burney, Charles, Mus. D. F.R.S. , 
 died at Chelsea College, April 12, 1814. 
 This venerable professor of the harmonic, 
 science had his first musical education 
 under Mr. Baker, a scholar of Dr. Blow, 
 and at that time organist of Chester Ca- 
 thedral. About 1741 he returned to his 
 native town, where his half brother, 
 James Burney, was an eminent teacher 
 and an organist, which situation he filled 
 fifty-four years, , and died in 1789, aged 
 eighty. In 1744, he met with Dr. Arne, , 
 who persuaded his friends lo send him 
 to London, and he was accordingly placed; 
 under that great master for three years; 
 In the winter of 1749, he composed for- 
 Drury;Lane the dramas of Alfred, Robin- 
 hood, and Queen Mab. In 1763 he was 
 admitted to the degrees of B. and Mus.D. 
 as i. member of the University of Oxford. 
 Ar-out this period he became acquainted 
 with Dr. Johnson, who ever cherished for 
 him a great esteem, and always spoke 
 highly of his literary abilities; a more 
 convincing proo/ of which could not well 
 be given than that of his adopting Dr. 
 Burney's Musical Tour as the model of 
 his own published account of hisjutirney 
 to the 'Hebrides.

 Byron, the Rt. Hon. Geohge Gordon, 
 Lprri, was born in 1788. His mother, 
 whose paternal n;tme was Gordon, was 
 the .last of that branch of the family that 
 is descended from Jane Stuart, daughter 
 of James II. of Scotland, who married 
 the Earl of Huntley. On the decease of 
 his great uncle, it) 1798, the title devolved 
 to , this young nobleman, who was edu- 
 cated partly in Scotland and partly at 
 Harrow, after which he went to Cam- 
 Hri'dge. Soon after, his coming of age he 
 took his seat in the House of Lords, and, 
 then went pn his travels, which he ex- 
 tended to Greece and the Ionian Islands. 
 ^Vt Athens he was an eye-witness of the 
 Gothic ravages committed upon the ve- 
 nerable ruins of that scite of classic an- 
 tiquity. These spoliations he deplored 
 and censured in a poem, 'which, though 
 not admitted into the collection of his, 
 -works, is known to, have issued from his 
 pen, and a <opy of it may be seen in the 
 New Monthly Magazine, vol. iii. p. 240. 
 in which miscellany ^Iso is an interesting 
 memoir of his Lordship, accompanied by 
 a very strifeingporfrait. Lord Byron mar- 
 ried, a few. months since, the only daugh- 
 ter of Sir Ralph Milbanke, Bart. It is 
 remarkable that, the two first poets of the 
 ag£ should both have been lame, from 
 (jhejr infancy j yet such is the ease with 
 
 Lord Byron and Mr. Walter Scott. Be- 
 sides the productions of this nobleman 
 mentioned in the preceding account of 
 him, he has published, ' ,

 Calder, John, D.D. died at Lisson 
 Green, Paddington, aged eighty-two, June,

 Aberdeen, at which university he received 
 his education and degree. He was for" 
 some time pastor of a congregation of 
 dissenters near the Tower, but had relin- 
 quished the clerical profession manyyearS 
 before his death. The late Duke of Nor- 
 thumberland honored him with his friend- 
 ship, and made hitn his private secretary. 
 Besides the works mentioned in his arti- 
 cle, it should be observed that he contri- 
 buted material assistance to the folio

 Chapple, William, of Exeter. This 
 person, who died in 1784, at a very ad- 
 Vanced age, was a landsurveyor arid en- 
 tirely self-taught. He had a competent 
 skill in antiquities, and projected a his- 
 tory of his native County, of which the 
 survey by Risdon was intended as a basis. 
 That work was printed in a miserably 
 garbled manner in 2 volumes IT 14; but 
 even that wretched edition was become 
 yery scarce. Unfortunately, though Mr. 
 , Chappie had great industry in collecting 
 materials, he had no genius in the dis- 
 position, of them ; the consequence of 
 
 which was that, at the time of his death, 
 about ten sheets only were perfected af 
 the press, which his executor, Mr. Gul- 
 let of Honiton, caused to be distributed 
 among the subscribers. The manuscripts 
 of Chappie were disposed of to Sir Law-

 M. de Chateaubriand, who is a native of 
 Bretagne, being obliged by the revolution 
 to quit France, went to America; and it 
 was while on his travels that he con- 
 ceived the plan of his elegant work on 
 the beauties of Christianity. Returning 
 to Europe he went to Germany, where he 
 was made prisoner by the Austrian troops 
 in 1799, but soon obtained his release, 
 after which he visited England, where 
 he published some political works, parti- 
 cularly that on Revolutions, Here als<j 
 he began to prepare his treatise on the " 
 genius of Christianity. His literary friends 
 obtained permission for him to visit 
 France, where he assisted in editing the 
 Mercury. In 1803 he was secretary to 
 the French embassy at Rome, but he re- 
 signed his office in a few months. Since 
 then he went to the East, but When the 
 change of affairs called for his talents, he 
 displayed them with great energy on the 
 side of the legitimate monarchy, tor which 
 he has received the title of Count, and 
 was nominated ambassador to the Court

 House of Commons for Westminster, and 
 was very popular in that city : but just 
 as he was about to go out to America as 
 Captain of the Tonnant, he was discover-; 
 ed to have been a party in a conspiracy 
 to impose false rumors upon the Slock 
 Exchange, for which he with his asso- 
 ciates were tried and found guiity. The 
 most ignominious part of the sentence 
 was remitted, but he was confined in the 
 King'sBencL, expelled the House ot Com- 
 mons,and degraded from the Knighthood. 
 To the surprise of all consistent persons 
 he was re-elected lor Westminster, and 
 just before the expiration of his impri- 
 sonment he found means to effect his 
 escape. After some days search' he was 
 found in the body of the House of Par-

 he became a disciple of Mr. John Wesley, 
 in whose connexion he figured as an 
 itinerant preacher. Some years before 
 the death of that extraordinary man, he 
 was prevailed upon by his friend Coke 
 to consecrate him a bishop, which cere- 
 mony was performed, though in a private 
 manner and in an upper room, thus com- 
 pleting the violation of .all religious, order 
 in the circumstance of one simple pres-. 
 byter conferring episcopal authority upon 
 another of the same quality. After this 
 the new Bishop, or Superintendant ^s he 
 was called, obtained a degree suited to

 the little volume that passes under his

 however, contrived to make this useful 
 manual a vehicle for recommending his

 Crabbe, Rev. George, LL.B. This 
 ingenious writer has been lately present- 
 ed, by the Duke of Rutland, to the living 
 of Trowbridge, void by the resignation of 
 Mr. Beresford. In a preface to a new 
 edition of his poem called " The Library," 
 he says, that while he was composing it, 
 he was honored by the advice of Mr. 
 Burke, in whose presence part of it was 
 written, and the whole submitted to his 
 judgment. Through Mr. Burke, he was 
 introduced to Dr. Johnson, who expressed 
 his approbation of the poem iti warm 
 terms. The reputation which he acquired 
 by this piece procured him the patronage 
 of the late Duke of Rutland, on whom 
 he attended as' chaplain to Ireland, and 
 whose funeral sermon he preached in the 
 chapel at Bel voir. In 1789, by the re- 
 commendation of the Duchess Dowager, 
 Lord Thurlow presented him to the rec 7 
 tories of Muston in Leicestershire, and 
 West Allington in Lincolnshire. The 
 year following he communicated " The 
 Natural History of the Vale of Belvoir" 
 to Mr. Nichols, who has incorporated it 
 into his History of Leicestershire. From 
 
 this time to 1807, Mr. Crabbe resigned 
 himself wholly to parochial duties and 
 the improvement of a numerous family; 
 the courtship of.the Muses only occupy; 
 ing a few casual hours. The volume of 
 poems which he published in the last 
 mentioned year, was honored with the 
 critical examination of Mr. Fox and his 
 nephew Lord Holland, in the manuscript 
 state, and from their remarks, the whole, 
 received both strength and palish.

 Creech, William, of Edinburgh, and 
 the author of Fugitive Pieces, was a na-

 in 1771 succeeded his friend, Mr. Kin- 
 naird, in that part of the printing busi- 
 ness which was unconnected with the 
 patent of King's printer for Scotland.; Mr. 
 Creech was concerned in all the respect- 
 able publications of his time, by whic&'he 
 realized a handsome fortune. In 1811 
 he discharged the office of Lord Provost, 
 and died at the beginning of 1814, after 
 carrying on the bookselling business for- 
 ty-four years, in the course of which he 
 enjoyed the friendship of the first literary 
 characters, particularly Dr. Ferguson, Dr. 
 Robertson, Dr. Blair, Dr. Adam' Smith,

 death he added to his literary reputation 
 by the publication of a letter on the 
 state of Paris, addressed t6 George Petre, 
 Esq. 8vo. In this performance he disco- 
 vered the same classical taste and judg- 
 ment with respect to works of art which 
 had distinguished his splendid volumes 
 on Italy. ,Mr. Eustace had made consi- 
 derable progress in a didactic poem on 
 the subject of Education, which eotuing

 greatest credit.. He had been for some 
 time in a declining state, and resided the 
 whole of the preceding summer at Brigh- 
 ton, where however he seldom appeared

 Parish, Eev. William, M.A. Jaekso-, 
 rijan Professor of Chemistry at Cam- 
 bridge. His father was a clergyman of 
 Carlisle, at the grammar school of which 
 city the son received his education pre- 
 ' paratory to his remova.1 to the. University 
 of Cambridge, where at the age of 16 he 
 was entered a sizar of Magdalen College. 
 When he took his bachelor's;' degree, 
 owing to his unass,umipg manner, he was 
 IS danger qf being placed in a situation 
 below his mer.it; pejicwing which, ha 
 
 challenged the whole senate house to a 
 trial of mathematical skill, and by this 
 expedient he attained, the honor of being 
 senior wrangler. This was in 1778, 
 and shortly afterwards he was chosen fel- 
 low and tutor of his college. In 1792 
 he served the* office-of senior proctor, in 
 which capacity he set an example of strict 
 discipline. Of this a remarkable story 
 is told; that once in his nightly rounds 
 he observed three gownsmen enter a 
 house of ill repute which he immediately 
 besieged with his attendants in such a 
 manner that escape was'impossible. An 
 out-house seemed to be the only place 
 of security, and thither the prisoners fled. 
 In the mean time the proctor entered and 
 pursued his search till he came to the 
 place where the fugitives actually lay 
 perdue, though their retreat could not at 
 first be discovered. A tub in one corner 
 reversed and a recent inundation of wa-r 
 ter created suspicion. The proctor no 
 sooner began to restore the tub to its na» 
 tural position than the successor to its 
 former contents appeared underneath 
 with all his dripping honors; thick about 
 him. The other two culprits were dis- 
 covered at last'penhed quietly as two 
 fowls at midnight roosting on a, beam 
 across the roof. But strict a.s Mr. Parish 
 was in his office be shone more splendid- 
 ly in the character of a lecturer. On his 
 election in 1794 to the professorship, he 
 ' resolveil to apply chemistry to an illustra- 
 tion of the arts and manufactures: accor- 
 dingly after making personal observations , 
 in various places, lie provided himself 
 with a number of brass wheels of all 
 forms and sizes, so that any two of them, 
 might work together, the cogs being all 
 equal; and also with a variety of axles, 
 bars, screws, clamps, &c. all of which 
 were easily brought to form working 
 models of almost every kind of machine. 
 These he put in motion by a water 
 wheel or a steam engine, in such a way 
 as to make them perform the actual work 
 of the real machines on, a small scale ; 
 the professor at the same time explaining 
 the mechanical and philosophical princi- 
 ples on which depend, the various pro- 
 cesses of-the arts exhibited* In the 
 course of these, lectures, says the pub- 
 lished syllabus, are explained the theory 
 and practice of mining "and of smelting 
 metallic ores, of bringing them to .nature,

 1 After being some years at school ia 
 Exeter neaT his parents, and under their" 
 observation; which was rendered necesr< 
 sary by his delicate state of health, he' 
 was in 1803 removed to Westminster, 
 where he remained till, the year 1806, 
 when he went to Cambridge and was ad- 
 mitted a Fellow Commoner' of Trinity

 States of (America with .his father Rear- 
 Admiral Graves to visit the possession* 
 of his mother in Carolina. 
 
 Being charged with dispatches f° r the. 
 American Government, he went to Wash,-™ 
 ington, where he was most kindly enter-.! 
 rained by Mr. Jefferson, then President of 
 the United States, by Mr. Madison,, the 
 then Secretary of State,- and by various 
 other gentlemen of distinction. While' 
 in America he made a tour through the 
 Atlantic States, from Moine to Georgia, 
 and went into Upper Canada to visit the, 
 falls of Niagara, and returned to England 
 in July 1809. He theii again took up his 
 residence at Cambridge, and remained 
 there for some months, but has never yei;

 and arrived at Stockholm during the 
 disturbedstat@ pf that country, preceding 
 the election of Bernadotte as CrOwn- 
 Prince, when Count Ferson was mur- 
 dered, but remained only a short time 
 and returned to- England. He then went

 of his country, Imving been admitted a 
 member of that society at' a very early 
 period. 
 
 In the year 1811" he was appointed 
 Major in the West Norfolk Regiment of

 contested the Borough of Taunton at the 
 last general election, but being thrown

 candidate for the representation of the 
 county of Devon, when after a contest of 
 three days he declined any further oppo- 
 sition.' 
 
 In. the year 1814 he published, under 
 the signature of Ulysses, a small pamphlet 
 entitled " The White Rose,", on the de-

 Jones, Thomas, a dramatic and mis-

 .Oct. 28, \ 777. His lather was a perfumer 
 and hairdresser, who gave his eldest son 
 a plain education, which he considerably 
 improved by his assiduity.. At the age 
 of thirteen he was placed in the office of 
 an attorney, but the want of means to 
 provide the requisite premium to be arji- 
 cled, occasioned a change of pursuits^' 
 and our author was apprenticed to Mr, 
 Bleaden at the London Tavern, in which 
 unpromising situation he contrived to, 
 improve his mind and to cultivate a taste 
 for letters, though very much against the 
 will of his master. On leaving the ta* 
 vern, he entered into the service of an 
 eminent wine- merchant at Norwich, with 
 whom he continued about two years, 
 and then obtained employment as book-- 
 keeper to the present Sir Robert Wigram,- 
 in which capacity he still continues. Soon 
 after this he published a volume ef 
 poems consisting of Elegies, Sonnets,' 
 and a farce entitled " Phantoms, or the 
 Irishman in England," 8vo. He next 
 printed a farce entitled " Confined in- 
 Vain/' 8vo; after which appeared "The 
 Soils or Family Feuds,'' 8vo; the libera* 
 lityof his patron, Sir Robert Wigram, was 
 celebrated by him in a poem called " Sol- 
 dier's Fare, or Patriotism and hospitality,"' 
 the occasion of which was an entertain-

 Le GrICE, Rev. CHARLES Valentine, 
 
 M.A. He is now perpetual curate of' 
 Penzance, where he has distiriguished 
 himself as one of the founders of the 
 Geological Society; also in opposing the 
 fanaticism of themethodists,which in that 
 place and the . neighbourhood has been 
 recently carried to a most extravagant 
 length. He has published the' following 
 in addition to what have been already 
 mentioned, 
 
 The Proofs of the Spirit, or Considerations oh Re- 
 vivalism, a Sermon,' 8vo, 1814.- The occasion of this 
 .discourse was an extraordinary- convulsion among 
 tile Methodists, whose converts feli into tits and were 
 encouraged in them by the Breathers. 
 
 Lettsom-, John Coaklmy M.D*. This. 
 respectable-practitioner died -at his house 
 3n Sambrook Court, London, Nov. 1, 
 1815. He was born on a small isle called 
 The Little .Van Dyke, near Tortola, in 
 1744. His ancestors, by the father's sit'e, 
 emigrated to the West Indies during the 
 qivilwars; and his mother was related 
 to-the ancient family of Coakley, in Ire- 
 land, a branch of which settled at Bar- 
 badoes above a century since. At the 
 age'Of six' years, youngLettsomi was sent 
 to England for education,- and- placed 
 lender Mr. Thompson, a respectable 
 schoolmaster at \\ arington; after which 
 he. was entrusted to the care of Dr. Sut- 
 cliffe. He then pursued his medical stu- 
 dies some time in London, but was oblig- 
 ed to return to the West Indies, to take 
 possession of an estate, where he gener- 
 ously, gave freedom to all his negroes.- 
 In his 2Sd year he came again'' to 
 Europe, and'complelcd his medical pur- 
 suits at Edinburgh, Leyden, and Paris. 
 At the latter place he obtained the friend- 
 ship of Professor Dubourg. to whom he 
 was recommended by Dr. Franklin, and 
 whose character lie . afterwards drew in 
 the first Volume of the Memoirs of the 
 Medical Society. On settling in London 
 he soon obtained a most extensive prac- 
 tice, through the friendship of Dr. John 
 Eotbergill, and the interest of the sect to 
 which he then belonged, but' in whose 
 favour he declined some years before his 
 death, owing to his want of conformity to 
 all their peculiarities. ,Dr. Lettsom, some 
 years since, lost his only son, a very pro- 
 mising' young man, in the same profes- 
 sion. His seat of Grove Hill, near Cam- 
 fcerwell, has been celebrated in a distinct 
 poem, having that title, written by Mr. 
 Maurice ; and the beauties of that , spot,

 Malcolm, James Peller, F.S.A. This 
 ingenious man died in Gee Street, Somers 
 Town, April 5, 1815. His great grand- 
 father, on the mother's side, went with 
 tne celebrated Penn to America, and set- 
 tled on the banks of the Delaware, about 
 the year 1689. The grandfather of Mr. 
 Malcolm quitted the society of Quakers, 
 and conformed to the Church of Eng- 
 land, in which profession also our author 
 was baptised and educated, at Philadel- 
 phia. When the rebellion broke out, 
 being then about eight years old, he was 
 removed to England, and returned to his 
 native city after the peace of 1783. Hav- 
 ing a great turn for the fine arts, he was 
 sent to London, and became a student at 
 the Royal Academy, under the patronage 
 of Mr. West. He next applied himself 
 to engraving, particularly of topographi- 
 cal subjects, and travelled over many 
 part* of England, taking sketches, which 
 he afterwards engraved. At length he 
 was rendered incapable of following his 
 favourite pursuits, by a white swelling in 
 the knee, of which he died,, at the age of 
 47, leaving a wife and an aged mother in 
 the greatest distress. Mr. Malcolm en- 
 riched the Gentleman's Magazine with 
 many articles from his pen and graver,

 of Leicestershire.

 • Milne, Rev. Colin, LL.D. and D.D. 
 F.L.S. This respectable naturalist and 
 divine died at Deptlbrd in October 1815, 
 aged 71. The following anecdote of him 
 is related by one Saunders, a noted book- 
 maker in London, who was employed in 
 compiling Family Bibles and Histories of 
 England. When he had put together the 
 commentary which bears the name of 
 Herries, he went to get. Dr. Milne to 
 Sanction it by his popularity, as the au- 
 thor. " I went twice to Deptford,'' says 
 he, " to solicit the Doctor for his name, 
 but he honestly, told me, that although be 
 had no doubts concerning my abilities, 
 yet he would not have his name to what 
 he was not to write."' This was in, 1773, 
 
 on which Saunders applied to poor Dr - 
 Dodd, who asked one hundred guineas 
 for the allowance of his name, but this 
 was thought too extravagant ; and then 
 Herries granted his name for twenty 
 pounds. Dr. Milne is also the author of 
 
 The Boldness and Freedom of' Apostolical Evidence, 
 recomim-ndtd to the Imitation of Ministers. — A Ser-

 1815. His father was a fencing- master, 
 and the son practised in the same line 
 till he was encouraged to make his ap- 
 pearance on the stage, in 1758." His first 
 character was that of Captain Brazen in 
 the Recruiting Officer, and he soon ac- 
 quired a great reputation as the performer 
 of genteel comedy. - He withdrew from 
 the boards on his marriage with Lady 
 Strangeways, who survives him at a very 
 advanced age. Not long after his mar- 
 riage Mr. O'Brien obtained a lucrative 
 place in North America, from whence he 
 returned on the commencement of the

 Pearson, George, M.D. F.R.S. was 
 born at the family seat of Mosborough 
 Hall, in Derbyshire, where he was edu- 
 cated under his father, who was also of 
 the medical profession, but- retired from 
 practice many years before he died, and 
 lived as a country gentleman. The son 
 went to Edinburgh, ill 1770, and studied, 
 with such diligence as to be admitted a 
 member of the Royal Medical Society, 
 for the Presidentship of which he stood 
 candidate against the celebrated Dr. John 
 Brown, arid lost the chair by one vote. 
 In 1773 he took his doctor's degree, and 
 his thesis on that occasion, De Putredine, 
 was inserted' in the first volume of the 
 Edinburgh Medical Commentaries. Dur- 
 ing hie stay in the University, he attended 
 the lectures of Dr. Adam Ferguson, whose 
 esteem he acquired by writing a disserta- 
 tion on moral approbation, and which lie 
 submitted to his perusal. In ,1774 he 
 quitted Edinburgh and came to London, 
 where lie became a student under Dr. 
 Fordyce, at St. Thomas's Hospital. The 
 year following he went abroad, and tra- 
 velled through France, Germany, and 
 Holland, returning to England, in 1777, 
 
 KC 1SJ$- 
 
 by the way of Hamburgh. He firs/; set- 
 tled as a physician at Doncaster, where 
 he resided about six years, and then came 
 to London, which has continued to be 
 his abode above thirty years. . It is to le 
 lamented that the Doctor, when the Par- 
 liament deliberated about the remunera- 
 tion to be granted to Dr. Jenner, should 
 have endeavoured, in his evidence, to set 
 up his merits as a vaccinator above the 
 author of the discovery. Dr. Pearson. 
 is, however, deserving of general respect 
 as a man of science, and of general ur- 
 banity of disposition.

 tled in London, and became physician to

 Charity for Lying-in Women. The Doc- . 
 tor, at the first announcement of the vac-. 
 cine discovery, declared himself a sceptic 
 as to its alledged efficacy, but afterwards,

 that he possessed superior talents in the 
 management of estates. Alter publish- 
 ing some books on agriculture, and

 Dean of St. Patrick's, was wounded in a 
 duel, by the present Duke of Richmond, 
 then Colonel Lenox, in July, 1789. The 
 cause of ,the dispute was some offensive 
 language reflecting upon the Colonel, in 
 Mr. Swift's pamphlet entitled "A Letter to 
 the King." Mr; Swift died in Ireland, .in 
 the slimmer of 1815.

 Court at Quebec, has completely vindi-

 the African Society. Dr. Thorpe's second

 of that Institution, and particularly with

 Williams, Helen Maria. This cele- 
 brated lady has recently published a vo- 
 lume which, if it does not completely 
 atone for the bad qualities of her former 
 works, will at least entitle her to respect. 
 In this performance she has given some 
 curious particulars of Buonaparte, of 
 whom she was once an admirer, because 
 he was an admirer of Ossian. The fol- 
 lowing anecdote of that man, however, 
 indicates that she had some reason to form 
 a different opinion of him several years 
 ago, and before his assumption of the im- 
 perial dignity. " Buonaparte," says she,, 
 "considered the English Newspapers as 
 good as diplomatic dispatches, and con- 
 taining more accurate information of the 
 state of Europe than the reports of his 
 emissaries in foreign courts. His trans- 
 lators made such strange blunders in the 
 transcript of names, that he often him-t 
 self collated the translation with the ori- 
 ginal. In one of these surveys, my name 
 fell under his notice, prefixed to a few- 
 verses I had written on the peace of 
 Amiens. He enquired why they were 
 not translated ? The translator, with 
 whom I was acquainted, answered, that 
 this had been omitted in conformity to 
 his orders to translate nothing of litera- 
 ture or poetry, in whieh his name was 
 not mentioned. But could this be possi- 
 ble? An Ode on Peace, without any 
 mention of the Great Pacificator ! Le 
 Grand Pacificateur! words which now

 and stuck up below his bust, placed as a 
 sign-post at the door of every hedge-ale- 
 house on the highway. The Ode was 
 translated ; and if the FirsJ Consul was 
 angry at what was omitted, he was far 
 more irritated at what he found : this was 
 the epithet of subject waves, applied to 
 Britain — 
 
 " And thou lov'd Britain, mv parental isle, 
 Secure, encircled by thy subject waves.'' 
 
 This was touching a jarring string in- 
 deed — this was declaring myself of the 
 faction of sea-despots. It was almost 
 treason; but I had friends at court, and 
 therefore escaped with a slight punish- 
 ment, inflicted a few months after by the 
 prefect of police, who arrested me and my 
 whole family, on pretext of examining 
 my papers ; from which ordeal 1 came out 
 triumphant having been detained a pri- 
 soner only twenty four hours." See a
