multiplicity of other inestimable works, each of which, on its publication, has emanated fresh beauties, and made nearer approaches to perfection. Didot fedulously endeavoured to unite in his family every talent auxiliary to the printing art. One of his fons became a celebrated type founder; and the voice of Fame announces the fuperior rank which they both defervedly hold among the printers of the age. The fond father delighted to obferve that he was exIcelled by his children; while they dutifully afcribed their fuccefs to the force of his inftruction, and the benefit of his example. The life of Didot was the life of honour; his abilities are known and refpected; and the following anecdote will prove the goodness of his heart: In one of his journies to the paper-mills of Anonay, he met an artist who had introduced in France an improvement in the application of cylinders, &c. and, believing that his ingenuity merited reward, exerted all his intereft with Government; but, unfortunately, when he was on the point of fucceeding, the artist died, leaving two girls in the helpless state of infancy. Didot took the orphans in his arms, proclaimed himself their father, and kept

his word.

P. 1075. Mr. Beatson was a young man of very promifing abilities, and the most amiable difpofition. He had early devoted himself to the profeffion of a clergyman of the church of Scotland; and, with this view, had cultivated, with more than common fuccefs, not only the ftudies more intimately connected with his profeffion, but various other branches of literature and science. About two years ago, he was licensed to preach the Gofpel, by the Prefbytery of Edinburgh; and has fince, in various churches, exhibited in his difcourfes an eloquence, perfpicuity, and folid judgment, which peculiarly fitted him for the pulpit. His uncommon delicacy of mind, and his fixed averfion from every thing bustling and oftentatious, prevented his talents from being fo generally known as they deferved; yet has he left among numerous acquaintances, and in a number of the moft eminent literary and philofophical focieties of Edinburgh (in fome of which he had attained the highest honours), ftriking proofs of his extenfive knowledge, and of his diftinguished talents for public speaking. As a companion, he was univerfally beloved. Few excelled him in that happy kind of pleafantry, and lively defcription of character, which delights all who hear it without wounding the feeling of any. The warmth and conftancy of his attachments, and the manner in which he performed his filial duties, have left an indelible impreffion in the breafts of thofe who were the particular objects of them.

P. 1078. We are particularly defired to correct an error in Mr. Burland's article: His first wife was Theophila, daughter, and, after the death of her brother, fole heirefs, of John Farr, of Stock Gayland, efq. His fecond wife was the fifter and heirefs of the late Sir Stephen Nafh, knt. of Bristol, and of Lewefton, near Sherborne, Dorfet, and relict of William Gordon, efq. a Briftol merchant, to whom The brought the Lewefton eftate, which had been purchased by her father of Lord Brooke. Another miftake, relating to the Butler family, is in the Hiftory of Dorfet, 2d edit. vol. II. p. 319. Arundel Clutterbuck married George Frome, rector of Punknoll, who left two fons, George and Robert. George, the eldeft, the prefent rector (to whom the farm and manor belong), was rector of Punknoll, now of Litton, to which he was prefented upon the death of Mr. Richards laft year, and is unmarried. Robert, rector of Folke, married Jane, one of the daughters of the late, and fifter to the prefent, Mr. B. rector of Ockford Fitzpaine, and has three children : one fon, George Clutterbuck Frome, now in orders, and to whom his uncle, upon his own promotion to Litton, prefented the living of Punknoll; and two daughters, Arundel-Mary and Emilia.

P. 1248. The late Marchionefs of Rockingham was the daughter and fole heirefs of Mr. Bright, formerly of Badfworth, in Yorkshire, and was born in Auguft, 1736. Her mother was of the Lowther family, and afterwards married the late Sir John Ramfden, of Byram, bart. of which marriage the prefent Sir John Ramfden, and Mrs. Weddell, the nearest and dearest friend of her beloved fifter, are the only furviving iffée. Byram fome of her early years were spent, till the beginning of the year 1752, when fhe was married to the late Moft Noble Charles Marquis of Rockingham. With him the enjoyed as much of happiness as is attainable in this mortal ftate, during the space of upwards of 30 years. In the month of July, 1782, their union was diffolved by the much-lamented death of that great and good man. He was, in the true fenfe of the words, à Statesman and a Patriot, but he was no Courtier ; and he foared above the petty arts of intriguing Politicians. The good of his country was his object; and to the attainment of this object his course was uniformly directed. In the words of the Minifter, Mr. Grenville, when the Marquis of R. was placed at the head of Administration, in 1765, "He was much too honeft a man to remain long the Mi nifter of this country." His death was confidered as a national lofs; his tomb was bedewed, with the tears of his country:

try; and never was there more univerfal concern and refpect manifefted for the lofs and character of an individual, than appeared in the conduct and countenances of the inhabitants of Yorkshire, and particularly of York, at the performance of his funeral obfequies. The death of her Lord was the fevereft ftroke of Providence to his afflicted widow. Her Chriftian fortitude and piety could alone have fupported her, during her long and violent

ruggles with the weakness of Nature; and they at length restored her mind to a state of meek compofure, and fubmiffive pefignation to the will of that Almighty Being in whofe hands are the iffves of life and death, who does not willingly afHict the children of men, and who makes all events fubfervient to the final good of his faithful fervants. For many years previous to this event, her Ladyship had mixed but little with the world; fubfequently to this period, her life has been paffed in almost fecluded retirement; with fome few exceptions, he has been known only by the goodness of her works. In 1783 the purchafed a beautiful feat at Hillingdon, near Uxbridge, from the Talbot family, where the had conftantly refided till the day of her diffolution, the 19th of December, 1804. Her death is an irreparable lofs to her domefticks, her few highlyhonoured friends, and the numerous and afflicted poor of her neighbourhood. Her Ladyfhip poffeffed a strong comprehenfive mind; her judgment was folid, clear, and difcriminative; and the poffeffed an uncommon faculty of quickly perceiving, and most justly appreciating, the characters of men. Her political principles were thofe of her Lord-they were founded on the genuine principles of the Conftitution, from which he never fwerved in the fighteft degree. She held in abhorrence the modern doctrine of "exifting circumftances," which the faw conftantly prostituted to the worst of purposes; the temporizing plea for not doing what ought to be done, and for doing what ought not to be done; the pitiful pretence for the moft fhameful deviations from public principle, and for the most difgraceful breach of public profeffions; and it was her favourite maxim, that truth, honour, and integrity, were the best fyftem of policy, both for nations and individuals. In Theology her, ladyship was deeply read. The writer of this article has feldom met with any perfon of more extenfive information, and more correct views on thofe fubjects that are connected with the best interefts of mankind. was a firm friend to the Church of England, but without the slightest intolerance. She was a ftedfaft believer, but no bigot. Her piety was exalted, her devotion fer

She

vent, but a ftranger to enthusiasm. Her humility was indeed lowly, bordering at times on defpondency; but the evening of her days was cheered with the animang rays of Chriftian hope. Her charity was unbounded, and her lofs will be moft feverely felt by the poor of Hillingdon. Her laft moments, and her last words, were directed to the supply of their wants, and the augmentation of their comforts. Her liberal hand left her not much to difpofe of at her death. In the difpofition of her affairs, her first objec was the poor, and her afflicted fervants, to whom the has bequeathed liberal legacies or annuities. To a few friends fhe has left expreffive tokens of her regard, and the refidue of her property to her first and dearest friend, Mrs. Weddell. The titles of Marquis and Marchionefs of Rockingham are extinct, but the memory of them will long furvive; and long, very long, may the virtues that adorned their characters continue to adorn and dignify the prefent and future Representatives of the noble House of Wentworth.

Vol. LXXV. p. 81. By the late dreadful fire in Adam-ftreet, wherein eight perfons terminated their exiftence in the moft deplorable manner, the furvivors, Richard Barr and his wife, with their four children, and William Pearce and his daughter, have miraculously escaped, only to encounter the keeneft poverty in this moft trying feafon. Barr had been 13 years a tallow-chandler in the neighbourhood, and his ftock, furniture, cloaths, &c. uninfured; feven in the houfe burnt down; and Pearce, his lodger, is the driver of a hackney-coach, and had faved fome mo

The wife of the latter, by jumping out of the two pair of ftairs window, was killed on the spot. Of the other feven lodgers burnt to death, and dug out of the ruins, were a man, and his wife feven months pregnant, a widow, two of her fons, and two grand-children. Some be nevolent gentlemen have undertaken to re ceive the fmalleft donations, and diftribute them amongst the sufferers.

P. 84. The late Michael Huber died at Leipzig. He was born at Frontenhaufen, in Bavaria; went to Paris very young, there became acquainted with many diftinguished literary characters, and furnished a great number of articles on German literature for the Journal Etranger. In 1765, he was called to the univerfity of Leipzig, to teach the French language. He there acquired the love and efteem of many of those who, for 40 years, have exercifed a very great influ ence on the literature of their country, Gellert, Zollikofer, Weiffe, and Garve, were his friends. His tranflations were the means of establishing the first literary communication
