Sir Richard Heron, bart. of Newark, co.
Nottingham, fo created July 25, 1778.
He is fucceeded by Mr. now Sir Robert
Heron, bart. of Stubton, co. Lincoln. He
was originally an attorney at law in Lon-
don, and afterwards a commiffioner of
bankrupts, a fworn clerk in the Remem-
brance office, and Lord Treafurer's re-
membrancer (a patent place) in the Court
of Exchequer. In 1777 he was appointed
principal fecretary to the Earl of Buck-
inghamshire, lord lieutenant of Ireland,
and was fworn of the Privy Council there.
About four o'clock in the morning, at
his palace at Lambeth, after much fevere
illness, and in his 74th year, the Right
Hon. and Right Rev. John Moore, D. D.
Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate
and Metropolitan of all England, a Lord
of Trade and Plantations, Prefident of the
Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy,
and of the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel in Foreign Parts, a trustee of
the British Mufeum, a governor of the
Charter-house, vifitor of All Souls and
Merton colleges, Oxford, and one of his
Majefty's moft honourable Privy Council.
This amiable Prelate was a native of the
city of Gloucefter, where his father was a
butcher, and in circumftances that would
not permit him to give his fon that libe-
ral education which he defired and de-
ferved. He was therefore brought up at
the free-fchool of his native city; and,
on account of the docility of his beha-
viour and promifing talents, fome friends
procured him an humble fituation in
Pembroke college, Oxford, whence he
some time afterwards removed to Chrift
Church, in that University. By fome
lucky circumftances, wholly without re-
queft or the leaft expectation of his own,
he was recommended to the Duke of
Marlborough as a private tutor to the
Marquis of Blandford. But this appoint-
ment was not without humiliation: the
pride of the Duchefs would not yield to
Mr. Moore's filling a feat at the firft ta
ble, and, in confequence, he was degra-
ded to the fecond. But this mortification
did not continue long, as this haughty
dame, when fhe became a widow, actu
ally courted the very fame tutor to receive
her hand! Mr. Moore declined the ad-
vantage of the connexion from a ftrong
principle of honour; and, fo fenfible was
the Duke of the generofity of his con-
duct, that, as the firft token of his grati-
tude, he fettled an annuity of 400l. upon
him, and rapidly obtained for him very
valuable church preferment. In 176 he
was made a prebendary of Durham; in
1771, dean of Canterbury; and, in 1775,
bishop of Bangor. Two very admirable
epigrams in our vol. XLV. p. 40, "A
Word of Comfort from Bangor to Canter-

bury, on the Lofs of her Dean, with
Canterbury's Anfwer," may here not im-
properly be referred to; as may
"Ban-
gor's Word of Comfort to Canterbury in
Prophecy," LIII. 605. On the death of
Dr. Cornwallis, 1783, the archiepifcopal
fee of Canterbury was offered to Bishops
Hurd and Lowth; the former declined it
from advancing years, and love of lettered
eafe; the latter from affection to his dic-
cefe. It is reported that his Majefty, up-
on this, defired each of thefe great men
to recommend one of the bishops to him,
as the fittest in their judgment to fill the
metropolitan chair; and that they both,
without any previous concert of opinion,
mentioned Dr. Moore. Whilft occupying
the firft ftation in the Church, his Grace
has avoided all other activity but that of
Chriftian piety and spiritual duty. He has
fcarcely taken any part in political dif-
putes; neither has he adopted any fteps:
to inflame the minds of the Diffenters on
the one hand, nor to alarm the friends of
Orthodoxy on the other. He has only
printed two fermons: one preached be
fore the Lords on the 30th of January,
1771, and the other on the Faft-day, 1781.
His Grace married Mifs Eden, a fifter of
Sir John Eden and the prefent Ld. Auck-
land, a very celebrated beauty. His fur-
viving children are, the Rev. George M.
rector of Wrotham, in Kent; Charles M.
efq. M. P. for Woodftock; the Rev. Ro-
bert M. re&tor of Latchingdon, in Effex;
and John M. esq. at the University of Ox-
ford, the only child, it is believed, ever
born to an Archbishop of Canterbury,
Two of his Grace's daughters died of con-
fumption within the last feven years.-
On the 25th, about 12 at noon, the Loyal
Lambeth Volunteers, Lieut.-col. Slade,
muftered in the Prince's gallery, Vaux-
hall-gardens; in compliment to Charles
Moore, efq. a fon of the late Archbishop,
who is a captain in that corps, and
marched from thence to Lambeth church,
to attend the funeral of his Grace.
the body was removed from, the chamber
in which it lay in the Palace, through
the long gallery built by order of Car-
dinal Pole, down the ftairs, and acrofs
the fore-court into the body of the church.
The funeral fervice was read by the Rev.
Dr. Vyfe, rector of Lambeth. The pall-
bearers were Lord Henley, Sir Frederick
Eden, Col. Eden, the Hon. Col. Eden,
Morton Eden, efq. Capt. Eden, Lieut.
col. Bell, and John Eden, efq. The chief
mourners, the Archbishop's four fons.
Lord Auckland and R. Richards, efq.
(his Grace's executors); together with the
Rev. Mr. Sandeford, and the Rev. Mr.
Barton, chaplains to the noble Prelate;
Dr. Vaughan and Mr. Young (his physician
and apothecary); and feveral other friends,
