Her benevolence to the sick, the poor, and the friendless, was universally experienced: their sufferings she was ever prompt to relieve, with a disposition so sympathising in her amiable attentions, that her kindnesses could never be encumbered with the yoke of obligation. Her Christian piety supported her with tranquillity and fortitude through a very long and painful illness, till the close of life; when her death, unarmed of its sting, relieved her from her sufferings, and removed her from this transitory life, in the full hope of a better to come.

Blessed with a firm and strong mind, he bore the afflictions of Providence with composure; and conscious that he was entering into the presence of his Redeemer, he surrendered his life with pious resignation.

Oct. 22. At Auberries, near Sudbury, (the seat of his brother in-law, C. Greenwood, esq.) in his 65th year, Thomas Hammersley, esq. banker, of London.-Of obtaining wealth and consequence in society the means are various. How often are they attended with disgrace, and pregnant with remorse! This was not the case in the instance of the late lamented Mr. Hammersley; for, if a life, devoted

from a very early period to industrious exertion, blended with generosity, which ever kept pace with increasing ability; if, with enlarged opportunities of acquiring wealth, proportionably expanded the honest ambition of deserving fame, and the noble ardour of diffusing happiness among those around and below us; if independence among the great, and uncorrupted virtue among the dissipated; if cultivation of the elegant arts in himself, and liberal patronage of scientific excellence in others: if these distinguished traits of exalted worth and of an upright heart can confer happiness and celebrity in life, or consolation in death; to this happiness, this fame, this consolation, no body was ever better entitled than the deserving subject of these strictures. They come from no base and mercenary pen, but are the result of grateful zeal and affection, springing up in a mind, that, amidst accumulated misfortune, in early life, was gladdened with the stream of his munificence, and shared the sympathy of that compassion, which is ever most feelingly awake to unmerited distress! -It was the peculiar honour of this gentleman to "have done good by stealth," especially where the most rigid inquiry into the sufferer's character (a most essential requisite in the exertion of true benevolence) has stamped his title to its exertions. Many living testimonies to the truth of this assertion can be adduced, if necessary; many others cannot be adduced, because the efforts of the obliged, to pierce through the designed obscurity of concealed beneficence, have not availed to discover the unknown hand that, in almost innumerable instances, has raised the head of drooping worth, and smoothed the brow of desponding sorrow; that has restored the bankrupt tradesman to his former occupation and afflicted family; that has renovated the hopes of toiling science; and rekindled the fire of genius, struggling with oppression and groaning under penury. To those who roll in affluence, and who, without the incumbrance of a large family, do extensive good in society, and make the compassionated human race at large the heir of their wealth, much deserved praise is due; but to accomplish all this under that pleasing incumbrance demands a strain of no common panegyric, and affects the mind in proportion to the admiration which such a character naturally excites.-If ever the flame of genuine unaffected piety inspired the breast of man, it glowed in

that of Mr. Hammersley. He was not almost, but altogether, a Christian. Early and happily united with the object of his tenderest regards, he was, through life, the most affectionate of husbands, and, during all its vicissitudes, as well as in the lingering and painful illness that marked its close, experienced from his afflicted consort all the tender assiduities which the most exalted affection, heightened by veneration for transcendant virtue, could bestow. The inexpressible anguish, for his loss, of a numerous and devoted progeny, will best proclaim his merit as a parent. In the characters of a son and a brother COST he was also most exemplary; and, as a friend, it was his distinguished praise, that, as his attachments were founded in virtue, they were indissoluble, except by death. It may truly be said of Mr. Hammersley, that he went about doing good; some pious or beneficent plan was ever forming in his indefatigable mind, or maturing under his friendly auspices. Among others, of the highest moment to society, that of the establishment of the society of Schoolmasters, was promoted by him with an ardour that marked his sense of the importance of the Institution. The rising generation have, indeed, the most abundant reason to bless the exertions and to revere the memory of Thomas Haminersley!-Too long restrained by that delicacy which feared to give offence, the period has at length arrived, when confidential friendship and affectionate gratitude may burst those bonds of silence to which they have long reluctantly submitted, and when the laurel of virtuous fame may be justly placed on the brow, which has been so long and so deservedly entitled to its honourable shade. That brow is, alas! cold, and the heart, thus benevolent, has ceased to vibrate; but the authentic detail of virtues, like these, cannot fail. to diffuse á fame, that shall impart a ray of virtuous animation to the most frozen heart, and kindle emulation in the latest posterity.

It her house in the Precincts at Canterbury, Mrs. Susanna Duncombe, the widow of the late Rev. John D. rector of the united parishes of St. Mary Bredman and St. Andrew in that City, and vicar of Herne in Kent, and a six preacher of the Cathedral. She was the only daughter of Joseph Highmore, esq. of Lincoln's-inn-fields, portraitpainter, from whom she inherited much of his taste for the Fine Arts, and of his genius for letters, softened by a refined judgment and feminine delicacy. Her union with Mr. Duncombe (the translator jointly with his father of the works of Horace, and author of several other works which the publick have justly appreciated, and who may well be said to have been "in bonis literis præclarissimus") tended to expand her natural talents, and to exemplify her education: which enabled her to justly venerate the eminent circle in which she was born to shine, Young, Harris, Hawkesworth, Richardson, 1. H. Browne, Chapone, Carter, and others equally dear to Literature. Mr. D.'s preferment at and near Canterbury, which he received from three succeeding Archbishops, led them to fix their residence there, where her father soon after joined them, and continued with them until his death. After the decease of Mr. D. about 26 years since (see volume LVI. pages 187, 451), she adopted a more retired life, accompanied by her only and surviving daughter; and although her advancing years cast their autumnal tints over her once brilliant mind, yet they sufficiently marked the beauty of the days

But, from the study of medicine, his views were soon directed to that of theology; and he afterwards engaged in the office of Christian minister, among the Society of Baptists, first at Bourton, then at Cirencester, and finally at Stow-on-the-Wolds, and the neighbouring village of Naunton.

In the discharge of the many important trusts, both of a civil and religious nature, committed to him, and in his more public duty as a commissioner of taxes, he was diligently attentive and impartially just.
