He enjoyed life's peaceful evening with a smile, and met the hour of his departure with that itedfast hope and placid refignation which fo eminently diftinguithes a true Chriftian.

His dress was fingular-rusty black, with a hat in the old clerical Ayle, and a black wig. Some fuppofed he was a coal-merchant; and a late Bishop of London, feeing him on the fteps of St. Paul's church, imagined he was a diftreffed clergyman, and humanely defred one of the vergers to make enquiry into his fituation. Mr. B. had been a fcholar in his youth; and, about thirty years ago, wrote fome periodical papers in affociation with Kelly. He prided himfelf moft in his latter days on his knowledge of heraldry, and the connexions and dependencies of all noble families. A very fine mezzotinto print of him was done many years ago, which, from the fingularity of the drapery, might pals for the portrait of an antient German Reformer.

D. many years prefident of the Baptist Academy, and paftor of the congregation of Protenant Diffenters in Broad-mead, in that city.

His friends began to flatter themfelves with the hopes of his recovery, when, on the 7th inftant, in the afternoon, a second paralytic feizure fuddenly rendered him fpeechless and infenfible; in which state he continued till he expired.-How pleasingly thofe qualities which recommend and endear the hutband, the parent, the Chriftian, the tutor, and the minifter, were combined in him, thofe alone can tell who had the happinefs of being connected with him in thofe capacities. He poffeffed an enlarged and liberal, a benevolent and pious mind: and while thofe individuals and communities with whom he was more particularly connected venerate his memory, and mourn for his death, the fympathy of fociety, wherever he was known, will be excited, and his remove will be confidered as a public lofs. His publications were principally occafional fermons, which are enumerated, from 1771 to 1780, in Cooke's "Hiftorical Register."

His 1emains were depofited with thofe of his relatives abovementioned in the family vault in Enfield church on the 24th. His extenfive fortune was not more difplayed in the fplendour of his hofpitality than in the largeness of his beneficence. Diftrefs found no occation to repeat, a fecond time, its fad tale at his door; and scarcely any of our numerous inftitutions for the relief of human affliction prefented their claims to fociety, but they found in him a liberal fupport. His manners were untainted by pride, and his temper unruffled by afperity. He bore, for many years, a series of illhealth without repining. He felt his gradual decline without a murmur; and though he fuffered extreme agony before his diffolution, yet it was the agony of the body at its separation from a foul like his. Words will not exprefs his merit; it ftill lives in the remembrance

It was of this gentleman Mr. Thicknesse speaks, when he fays, "The comfortable feat of Mr. Abney should be particularly noticed, not only for the house, but the good old man, his fon, and the wife. It is a maifon carrée, has extenfive views each way, but the poffeffor fees no man's land but his own; and all his farm-houíes too are as well formed as his own.

When he thot himself he held a letter in his hand, addreffed "To the Coroner who fhall take an Inqueft on James Sutherland," and which contained a short statement of his cafe, a letter to the King, and an extract of one which he fent fome time ago to Mr. Pitt; all of which, with a character of him, and verses to his memory, must be deferred till our next.
