In the same collection are also portraits of Richard Snow, Esquire, father to Lady Harrison, of her brother, Rev. John Snow, Canon of Exeter, and others. All these family pictures were bequeathed by Sir Thomas Harrison to his eldest son, Matthew ; the following request relating to them being found in the papers ex- pressing Sir Thomas Harrison's last wishes. " I would wish that my Family Pictures after the death of my wife might be in the possession of my eldest son then living and after his death in the next eldest and after all their deaths in the eldest daughter so that they may not come into the possession of any grandchild whilst I have a child living either by consanguinity or affinity." In accordance with this wish, the family pictures referred to have been kept together and valued as heirlooms ever since. Will of Matthew Harrison, Esq., who died 1799. It, — "This is the the last Will and Testament of me Matthew Harrison of Harlow in the County of Essex Esquire the Eldest Son of Sir Thomas Harrison, Knt., deceased (late Chamberlain of the City of London). First, I desire that I may be buried in a Brick Grave in the Churchyard of the Parish in which I may die, in as private a manner as decency will permit of. I give to the Vicar of the Parish wherein I shall be buried the sum of Five pounds, to be distributed by him, in such manner as he shall think best for the benefit of the poor of such Parish. I give to Mrs. Hannah Clarke Fifty pounds also to the Man Servant who shall be living with me at my decease Ten Guineas ; also to the other Servants who shall be employed in the house wherein I shall reside at my decease, 5 Guineas each. I give and bequeath unto my Sister Mrs. Sarah Baldwin Harrison the Widow of my late Brother Thomas Harrison Esquire deceased, One hundred Guineas for Mourning for herself and her Children. I give my brilliant ring worn by my late Father to my Nephew Benjamin Harrison of Guy's Hospital, in the County of Surrey Esquire and I give all my Books, Pictures and Prints unto the said Benjamin Harrison and my Nephew George Harrison, of Lincoln's Inn in the County of Middlesex Esquire my two Executors hereafter named, C 18 equally to be divided between them in such manner as they shall agree upon. And 1 direct my Executors to pay to such of the Children of my said two Brothers, Benja- min and Thomas Harrison as were my Godchildren Ten Guineas each. And I direct that all the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate and effects of every nature and kind, after payment of my debts, legacies and funeral and testamentary expenses, shall be called in, and received and converted into money by my said Executors, as soon as may be after my decease. And I give and bequeath the same in manner following (that is to say) I give one moiety thereof unto my Sister Elizabeth Harrison of Clapham in the County of Surrey, Widow of my said late brother Benjamin Harrison her executors administrators and assigns for her and their own use and benefit ; and, in case the said Elizabeth Harrison shall die in my lifetime, I direct that the said moiety shall go to such of her Children by my said late Brother as would have been entitled thereto under her Will, or any Codicil, or as her next of kin, (if she shall die intestate) in case she had survived me, And the other moiety thereof I give and bequeath unto my Nephews, Thomas Harrison, William Harrison and the said George Harrison, the three surviving Children of my said late Brother Thomas Harrison, by his first Wife Dorothy Harrison, equally between them share and share alike, and their respective executors administrators and assigns for their own use and benefit, And I appoint my said Nephews Benjamin Harrison and George Harrison Executors to this my last Will, and do hereby revoke all former Wills by me at any time heretofore made and do declare this only to be my last Will and Testament. In witness thereof." " 15 April, 1798." " Published in presence of Mr. Miller, " Vicar of Harlow." The pictures referred to were bequeathed to him by his father, Sir Thomas Harri- son ; the library, containing a valuable collection of Bibles, was collected by himself. His own portrait is by Sir Nathaniel Dance, afterwards Sir Nathaniel Holland. These are all at present in the possession of his great-nephew, Archdeacon Harrison. iL« — There are monumental inscriptions to the memory of Benjamin Harrison and Elizabeth his wife in the south aisle of Aveley Church, county Essex, where they are buried ; also to two of their children, Charles, who died March 19, 1786, aged 7, and Charlotte, who died June 24, 1786, aged 17. — Mr. Harrison was a Fellow of the Boyal Society and of the Society of Antiquaries. He was Deputy-Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company and of the South Sea Company, and Chairman of the Exchequer Loan Board. He was also selected as one of the three Appeal Commissioners for the City of London on the first imposition of an Income Tax. But the chief work of his life was the gratuitous management of Guy's Hospital for the period of fifty years, from 1797 to 1847. As regards his services in this capacity, it was reported by the Commissioners for Inquiring concerning Charities in 1837, as follows : — " The duties of the President are to direct the holding of the Courts of Governors or of Committees, when he shall see fit ; and to preside at the Councils, and exercise a general superintendence over the Institution. His duties have, however, for some time devolved upon the Treasurer. " Benjamin Harrison, Esq., the present Treasurer, succeeded his father in the Sir Thomas Harrison. Knt. I 701 - I 765 19 office in 1797, having previously passed twelve years with him in the Hospital. Though no longer resident within the walls, he attends for several hours daily, Sundays only excepted. The management of the estates and revenues is in his hands, and he examines, in person, into the most minute details of every branch of the establishment ; and the Governors have been principally influenced by his advice in the various additions which have lately been made to those in London. No salary is attached to the office. Ten guineas are allowed for postage and parcels, and two guineas for petty expenses. No security is required of him. " Every article of expenditure is under the control of Mr. Harrison. He makes the larger payments on account of the Hospital himself, the" smaller demands being discharged by the Steward, who receives cheques from him for the purpose. He appoints the sisters and servants of the institution, and regulates the attendance of the medical and surgical officers. " The (Medical) Schools are exclusively and absolutely under his control." The Charity Commissioners conclude their Report in the following paragraph : " In submitting these remarks, it is but justice to Mr. Harrison to state, that his whole time, talent, and energies have for above forty years been devoted to the service of the Hospital, and that the entire course of his administration has been marked by zeal the most active and efficient, as well as by the most scrupulous and disinterested integrity We are far from being prepared to show, or even to suggest, that the interests of the charity have, as yet, suffered under the above extraordinary delegation of authority to this gentleman ; but a successor equally qualified and willing to make similar sacrifices with him is not likely to be found, when it may become necessary, and much confusion and injury may then not unreasonably be anticipated, as the result of the system of non-interference on the part of those who nominally hold the adminis- trative power of the establishment." The estimation in which Mr. Harrison was held by the tenants on the Guy's Hospital estates may be gathered from the monument erected to his memory in the Church of Saint Matthew, Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire, which bears the following inscription : — In Memory of Benjamin Harbison Esquire of Clapham Common Surrey for 50 years Treasurer of Guy's Hospital who died on the 18 th day of May 1856 in the 85 year of his age. The Tenantry on the Guy's Hospital estate in Lincolnshire have erected this Tablet . to testify their veneration of his character for benevolence and urbanity ; and as an acknowledgment of the deep interest he took in the religious education of the poor, and in the building of this church, which, to use his own words, he hoped would be for the glory of God and the spiritual welfare of the Inhabitants. Luke vii. 5. 20 0, t — Mary Pelly, daughter of Henry Hinde Pelly, Esquire, and Sally Hitchen his wife, daughter of John Blake, Esquire, of Parliament Street, and of Watcombe, Hants, and eventually coheiress of her brother, John Bradby Blake, Esquire, who died at Canton in 1773. A biographical notice of this gentleman appears in the Annual Register for 1776. He was one of the Honourable East India Company's Super- cargoes at Canton, " where he employed every spare moment of his time to the advancement of natural science and the benefit of his country." He did this by collecting and sending to England Chinese ores ; large quantities of seeds and plants, which were distributed between his Majesty's garden at Kew, the garden of the Apothecaries' Company, and various botanists of note ; and also specimens of the earths used in the manufacture of porcelain, which were placed in the hands of Mr. Wedgwood, Mr. Blake eventually sacrificing his life to the industry and ardour of his pursuits. On a visit to England he brought with him a young Chinese protege named Hwang-ya-tung or Hwang-e-tung, who he placed for education at Sevenoaks School. Whilst there he attracted the notice of the Duke of Dorset, who had the portrait of him which is now in the Sackville collection at Knole, painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds. A second portrait, also by Sir Joshua Reynolds, is amongst the Harrison family pictures in the possession of Archdeacon Harrison. © + — It will be seen that the heirship-presumptive of the senior branch of the family of Harrison vests in the sisters of Ven. Archdeacon Harrison ; and that the issue of the eldest sister trace descent from the Rev. Joseph Harrison of Cirencester in no less than four different ways. It is probably a unique example of such a descent ; and is shewn as follows : — Rev. Joseph Harrison, of Cirencester.=pCatharine Hitchens. Sir Tho s =pDorothea Catharine=pW m Turner.
