After quitting the University, he became vicar of St. Sepulchre, Northampton. In 1766 he applied to the Corporation of London to fucceed Dr. Birch in the rectory of St. Margaret Pattens; and in his address to them faid, "I have neither curacy nor lectureship, but a small country vicarage, whose clear annual income is under seventy pounds, and which, if I merit your indulgence, will be neceffarily void." He obtained this rectory, and afterwa ds added to it the vicarage of Horley, in Surrey (in which he is fucceeded by the Rev. Mr. Sparrow, vicar of Difeworth, co. Leicefter, and curate of Walthamstow, co. Effex). He took the degree of B. C. L.

Whalley's hands on Mr. Buckler, of All Souls College, declining the bufinefs, he was many years employed in compiling the hiftory of his native county, from these papers; and published the first volume about 1762, and the first part of the second in 1769. The work, which remained dormant for feveral years, occafioned at firft by "the laborious employment of fuperintending a large public grammar- (chool," and afterwards by an unfortunate turn in Mr. W's affairs, originating in a very imprudent matrimonial connexion, which involved this learned man and respectable magiftrate in the greatest distress, was once more refumed, when the committee for conducting it were redsted to Sir Wm. Dolben and the late Sir Thomas Cave, and committed to the Rev. Mr. Nares, of Chrift Church, and is at

Mr. M. was born in the parish of St. George Hanover-square, on the 8th of January, 1736; was educated at Eton, and entered at St. John's College, Cambridge, being intended for the Church. He died at Rome, after a lingering illness, early in the morning of the 15th of March, and was buried in the evening of the 16th, in the ground adjacent to the pyramidal fepulchre of Caius Ceftius, within the city-wall, the place affigned for the interment of Proteftants; twenty-four English gentlemen accompanying the body, inclosed in a coffin covered with black cloth, and holding lighted torches, while the funeral ceremony was performed by the Rev.

To her nearest relations, her natural chearfulness and easy mind, her great fidelity and tender affection, endeared her. She was an affectionate parent, and a difcreet inftructor to young and tender minds. Her converfation gave a sweetness to the pleasures of life. Strictly honest and fincere, the was courteous and civil to all, and took pleasure in ferving every one to the best of herability. 13. At South Carolina, Mr. Wm. Saunders,

sertion of their religious principles. He looked on Religion, let the mode be what it might, as the only means which could secure the human heart from corruption; and that the worst poffible system of Legiflation was that which could inflict penalties on the retention, or annex rewards to the desertion, of this principle. If he had a weakness, it was a fingularity of opinion, that the English nation do not poffefs the virtues generally attributed to them as peculiarly characteristic, viz. genelous courage, and love of universal liberty. He denied them the former, for they were cruel after conquest; and the latter, for he afferted they would enflave where they could command. To many individuals, however, of this nation he was as partial as he was the contrary to the aggregate (but, alas! what nation can, in the aggregate, equal its individuals?)-with many he cultivated a very warm friendship; and the testimonies Lord Lyttelton and others bore to his merits and his value must be highly flattering to his pofterity, in whatever climate or country they may fix their abode; and should they endeavour to imitate them, they will be highly useful. He published "An Account of the Nature and Conditions of a Charter to be granted for the working and manufacturing Mines and Minerals in Ireland; together with fome general Heads relating to the Advantages that muft neceffarily result from that laudable Establishment. In a Letter to the Right Hon. Thomas Lord Southwell. London, 1754." "Differtations on the Hiftory of Ireland, Dublin, 1766," 8vo. In the "Collectanea Hibernica," vol. III. are his "Reflections on the History of Ireland." Dr. Campbell (Hiftorical Sketch of the Government of Ireland, in Mr. Gough's "Camden," III. 482*), calls him the "fond advocate for the Pagan antiquities of Ireland."

His heart was still better than his head. His integrity, through the course of a long life, was unimpeached; and his charities equalled his income. He poffeffed but a small estate, the vast poffeffions of his family being loft by successive forfeitures to the Crown, in the two laft centuries, in confequence of what was then called Rebellion, but which, in the present age, would be deemed by all, Refiftance to Op-fore his death retired from all bufinets. preffion.

of fuch as are bad, and below mediocrity, that walk about therein; nothing but our forrow for what we lose could equal the admiration we pay to the deceased Baronet. With what increase of affection, with what ineffable transport, we press to our bofoms that character whose privation we can never fufficiently lament! And as we defcry how little actuates the present generation, fave ambition and nonfenfe, and that all human parfuits feek nothing but for self-interest, fraud, peculation, and prostitution; what a bright, charming gleam of fuperiority gently and nobly spreads itself over the dear memory of this matchless man! Peace to his fhade-Of his talents, or the acumen of his wit, it is quite unneceffary to declaim. They stand not in need of the blazonry of any biographer; and as to his literary merit, his "book of Maxims," which bears record of his knowledge or the human mind, and his other writings, bear fufficient teftimony. Such were his honour and integrity, that it would be difficult for the moralift to prove whether they were innate or adscititious. If a steady and watchful attention to the wants and interests of his fellow-creatures in general, or of his countrymen in particular; if his loyalty to the King, his attachment to the Eng fish Conftitution, and the laws by which it has been so long and fo happily supported; if these be valuable qualities in an honest citizen, then Society has to regret the irreparable lofs of such a friend. Like the immortal Howard, and the philanthropic Day, he, instead of pursuing the paths of pleasure, and those that lead to wealth, and the fruition of this world, pursued, from the most beneficent motives, those that lead to the grave. He was a niggard of that exercise that might have fecured his life. His views were solely directed for the benefit of others; he forgot his own. To find out objects for the exercise of his benevolent heart was his fole de light. His love of mankind, and his charity, were unbounded. Whilft his mind was intent upon the police of his country, and his country's reformation, he died most sincerely lamented; and he may be faid to have died for the fake of others, as he destroyed his health by forming plans for the support and happiness of those who wanted both. A foe to the faftidiousness of modern life, he retired from the great theatre of fashionable vices, though formed, by a refined education, and peculiar natural abilities, to adorn the most brilliant circles, in which he had always been brought up, and exchanged the coil and idleness of the great world for the privacy and tranquility of a rural life; where, for elegance, purity, and fuavity of manners, he lived and died admired, and for true affability and dignity of life and character revered, as well as a bright exemplar of all the milder and more focial virtues. Equanimity, serenity, and a refignation to the Divine Will, appeared in his features, and pervaded his whole demeanor, to

the very margin of that "awful bourne from whence no traveller returns."

The occafion of Sir William's retiring from the service of the King, or rather the Court, it is said was a misunderstanding between him and the Lord Chamberlain. He began his services at St. James's as a gentleman usher to his Majesty; in which fituation he continued, enjoying the peculiar favour and good opinion of his Royal Master till he had attained the feniority to which it has been the custom to annex the dignity of a baronet. The King conferred this honour on him; and he retired to his patrimonial estate in Derbyshire, coming to town only those months he was in waiting by the orderly course of duty. Upon a particular occafion of fome ceremonial at St. James's, it was necessary for a gentleman ufher extraordinary to attend at Court; and the Marquis of Salisbury, in quality and right of his office, ordered the Baronet to town, who pleaded in vain the distance he was from London, indisposition, inconvenience, and the expence of the journey for one day's attendance. At the fame time, he faid, that another gentleman usher, at the Chamberlain's order, could not fail to do the duty in his room. The Marquis directed a fecond order to be sent to Sir William, commanding his attendance or his refignation. The Baronet immediately took a poft chaife, reached the palace in time to perform his duty, and immediately gave-in his refignation.

31. In his 80th year, Mr. Robert Aflett, late fecretary to the Lead Company. After a long and very afflicting illness, Mrs. Latuffiere, wife of Mr. Lewis L. of Derby.

Dropped down dead as he was coming from Highgate to Kentish-town, Mr. John Seymour; a perfon well known to the prin cipal bookfellers and literary characters in this metropolis. By uncommon affiduity he bad acquired a knowledge of various languages, and might have been highly useful had he been properly patronized; but, whether through the eccentricity of his character, increased by the failure of the chief plans on which he founded his hopes (after having been Literary Companion to an Honourable Senator), he was unfuccefsful in most of his purfuits; with a hauteur of difpofition, arifing from the consciousness of his fuperiority in knowledge, he exifted amid fuch depreffions as would have overwhelmed most minds; and perhaps he often experienced as great hardships as Otway, Savage, Chatterton, &c. He was the author of a collection of poems, confifting of Spring, &c. published about two years fince, and dedicated, by permisfion, to her Grace the Duchefs of Devonshire. He likewife tranflated "The Correfpondence of Two Lovers, Inhabitants of Lyons," published about the fame time: and lately has been engaged in procuring materials for a general hittory of the polite artifts in this country, which bade fair to meet with general acceptance. He had likewife juft completed the printing of a volume from the French, intituled "Pfycology;" which would prove exceedingly ufeful for schools.-The writer of this article cannot conclude with out wishing that those characters who have often experienced the value of his labours had exerted their influence in affitting him who so often athifted them.
