June 30. At Glasgow, aged 70, John Mackenzie, esq.; a gentleman of the most comprehensive talents and utmost benevolence of heart. Mr. Mackenzie warmly attached himself to men of abilities and virtue in every situation, without any regard to the casual circumstances of birth or fortune, to which, of themselves, he paid no deference ;-no wonder, then, that he was not courted by the vain, the weak, or the selfish. He was highly respected and admired by all who knew him, except the ignorant, the bigoted, and intolerant; on whom he looked down with an eye of pity. Mr. Mackenzie entered with enthusiasm into all the great interests of mankind, and urged his arguments in so clear and concise a style, aided by the most powerful and persuasive eloquence, as at once carried conviction to bis hearers, and shewed the elevated dig nity of his own mind. In agriculture, his theory has been adopted by the most celebrated writers of the present times, with whom he continued on the most intimate habits of acquaintance and correspondence. In politics, he maintained the most correct and independent principles. In religion, he inculcated the warmest adoration of the Deity, entire resignation to his will on all occasions, and contentment with whatever situation he was pleased to allot; which Mr. Mackenzie eminently exemplified in his own conduct, being far above either the smiles or frowns of fortune. He was a philosopher, a patriot, and the friend of mankind.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.

In the First Part of the present Volume, P. 193. a. John Grisdale, esq. was born in 1780, in Carlisle, of the cathedral of Which his father is chancellor. In 1799

he was entered at Trinity college, Cambridge, but removed from that society the year following to Christ's college, in the same University. He took his bachelor's degree with distinguished honour in 1802, being second wrangler. The year following he received a fellowship of that college. From his early youth he gave the promise of extraordinary attainments in literature; his mind was stored with much acquired knowledge, and he possessed a judgment clear and comprehensive, which enabled him to select the most useful pars of science; while his superior taste led him to chuse for the objects of his imitation the most pure compositions of antient and modern literature. His life opened most auspiciously; his friends beheld with joy the dawn of uncommon talents. There seemed nothing in literature too difficult for his attainment; his application was unwearied, and he was no merely a student by profession; he brought to literature an ardent and a noble miod, fraught with all the enthusiasm of a poet, and all the soberness of a critic. While at the Grammar-school at Carlisle, his compositions were admired for possessing force, elegance, and beauty, far beyond his years; and his friends could not help expecting anxiously, that powers of mind so highly gifted, with application so steady, and a demeanour at once gentle and manly, might achieve a distinguished situation in the learned profession which he had chosen.-The late Mr. Grisdale was an eléve of that celebrated Divine and Philosopher Dr. Paley; he had read his works with uncommon attention, he admired the close texture of his style, and the great force of his conversation. college vacations were passed at Carlisle, where Dr. Paley occasionally resided. With this gentleman, with Dr. Milner, dean of Carlisle, and the Rev. J. D. Carlyle, Mr. Grisdale was on terms of the greatest intimacy; they all did justice to his promising talents, they saw the superior force of his understanding, they acknowledged the versatility and the energy of his mind, and no doubt expected to see him rise above the level of mankind.-Carlisle, though remote from the metropolis, and a very inconsiderable city, contained occasionally a society of learned men, as eminent as any in the kingdom. The first of these was Dr. Paley, whose writings are universally diffused and read; to attempt any eulogium on Paley in this place, would be superfluous; but the world is not acquainted with his excellent conversational powers. To him we may add the Rev. Dr. Milner, dean of Carlisle, and master of Queen's college, Cambridge. Though Dr. Milner has not established so permanent a reputation as Dr. Paley, his abilities are of the first order; as a chemist and natural philosopher, he has at

His

tracted

tracted much notice in Cambridge; but, as an excellent preacher, his reputation is confined to Carlisle. If a person were to create in imagination, as Cowper says, a preacher such as Paul," the dean of Carlisle would best answer the description. The fervour of his piety is equalled by the extent of his knowledge. The various powers which he brings to his task is amazing; his arguments and illustrations are so clear, and his conclusions so energetic and striking, that he attracts universal attention; and the cathedral is, during the time of his residence at Carlisle, continually crowded. To these eminent men we may add the Rev. J. D. Carlyle, then chancellor of Carlisle, known to the world of letters by his beautiful translations from the Arabic. Mr. Carlyle was a man of fine taste for poetry and painting, and at that period had just returned from his travels in Greece, Asia Minor, and Italy. Unhappily ill health at that time had begun to impair those excellent faculties which promised to their possessor both reputation and opulence. Mr. Carlyle lingered for two years under a painful disorder, which terminated in his death at Newcastle upon Tyne, in April 1804, of which place he was vicar. The last of the celebrated junto was the Rev. William Sheepshanks, formerly of St. John's college, Cambridge, and prebendary of Car lisle. He had travelled through France, Switzerland, and Italy, with the son of Sir Thomas Rumbold, and had surveyed the buildings and paintings of Rome with the eye of a connoisseur; his memory was tenacious, and his good humour and conversational powers were inexhaustible.Three out of the four of these celebrated men are now no more. Dr. Milner only survives. The present sketch makes known to those who peruse it, the faint lineaments of one, who, had he lived to complete the usual term of human life, would probably have been enrolled among British Worthies, and he would have had a more celebrated pen to write his biography. He had talents to have shone as a statesman, a legislator, a legal luminary, as great as any who now are exalted in superior situations. His early friends in

vain look round in society for a substitute for his intelligence, his frankness, his independence, his noble qualifications, and his eminent endowments.

P. 606. The family of the late muchrespected Edmund Malone derive their descent from the O'Connors, Kings of Con naught, which name they originally bore; from whom a branch took the present name of Malone, from Mael Eoin (Bald John), and gave name to the district in Westmeath. From this family descended Edmund Malone, who, 1569, possessed Ballynahown, the family residence for many centuries. From him descended Edmund Malone, who, 1644, had two sons; Edmond, the eldest, possessed the family residence, now enjoyed by his descendant. Anthony, the youngest, in 1673, married Mary Reily, great-grand-daughter of the first Earl of Roscommon, by whom he had Richard, a barrister, whose eloquence and abilities were conspicuous, and died Jan. 1744-5, having married Marcella Molady, by whom he had issue Anthony, Edmund, Richard, and John; the two first were called to the bar, and practised at the same time with their father, viz. Anthony, born Dec. 5, 1700, whose abilities raised him to be Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1757, having been Prime Serjeant at Law in 1754; he married in 1733, Rose daughter of Sir Ralph Gore, bart. and sister to the Earl of Ross, and died May 8, 1770, without issue. And Edmund, born April 16, 1704; in 1759, was made his Majesty's second Serjeant at Law; and in 1766, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. He married, May 26, 1736, Catharine, only daughter and heir to Benjamin Collier, of Ruckholts, in Essex, esq. and died April 22, 1774, leaving issue : 1. Richard, who was created a Peer, July 5, 1785, as Baron Sunderlin, of Lake Sunderlin, in the county of Westmeath; and, November 7, 1797, was further created Lord Sunderlin, of Baronston, in the county of Westmeath, with remainder (as to the latter barony) in default of issue male, to his then only brother Edmund; 2. Edmund; 3. Anthony; and 4. Benjamin, both of whom died young; 5. Henrietta; 6. Catharine.
