liberal education, engaged in active and extensive mercantile concerns, from which he realized a handsome independence, and retired from business about twenty-five years since. He was scrupulously just in all his dealings, and distinguished for the conspicuous probity of his morals. In the latter part of his life he acted in the commission of the peace in an independent and honourable manner. In him the poor have lost a warm and charitable friend, and the publick have to lament the deprivation of a most conscientious and upright magistrate.
P. 628, b. The Rev. J. F. Fearon, M.A. F.S.A. vicar of Cuckfield, rector of Selsea, and prebendary of the Cathedral Church of Chichester, died at Cuckfield, (aged 54,) where for thirty years he was resident, and where his generous and benevolent nature rendered him the admiration of his numerous friends, and the comfort of his family, who are left to deplore their irreparable loss.

ary there, to the duties of which situation he paid unwearied attention during a space of 25 years, though the greater part of the time engaged with an extensive practice; and in a pecuniary point of view he was a truly liberal benefactor to that institution. In early life he pursued his natural talent for Poetry as a favourite recreation - some beautiful specimens of which have been occasionally presented to his friends; and his love of classical and polite literature were eminently conspicuous during his whole life. In his political sentiments he was unquestionably loyal; although ever averse from controversy on this subject, especially in publick, yet to his intimate friends he was known to possess a sincere attachment to the constitution and liberties of his country, unbiassed by prejudice or party. The publick at large will sincerely regret the loss of his professional talents; while his relations and friends will long lament his social and endearing virtues, and with a melancholy pleasure recal to mind the

P. 188, b. Dr. Walker, of Leeds, was born of highly respectable parents at Bradford, co. York, and received the first rudiments of his education at the free Grammar School there. He was afterwards placed under the care of David Hall of Skipton, (a Quaker of considerable learning and talents,) previously to commencing his professional studies at Edinburgh. Here his unceasing application and industry, in acquiring a thorough knowledge of the theoretical learning of his profession, were not less remarkable, than his anxiety and solicitude, when in extensive practice, to render his studies of use to posterity; having with great labour and assiduity, compiled many manuscript volumes of notes and observations upon the numerous and difficult cases in which he was consulted. In his practice (which was founded chiefly upon the principles of Cullen, Gregory, and Black) he displayed a praiseworthy independence of the inferior branches of the profession; and his brother physicians, who were in the habit of attending patients along with him, bear ample testimony to his liberality, and freedom from mercenary influ
ence. He originally commenced his professional career at Hull, where his success was so great as to afford the means of supporting a respectable establishment in the short space of one year. His removal to Leeds (owing to family circumstances), though at first calculated to retard his progress, may be considered to have been eventually a fortunate circumstance, by its having opened a wider field for the exertion of his talents. He was quickly elected a physician of the General infirm
which his enlightened conversation was accustomed to instil.
P. 279, b. William Thomson, LL.D. was born in 1746, at Burnside, in Perthshire, where his father was a carpenter in low circumstances. As the boy displayed superior parts, he was first sent to a grammar school, and afterwards to the University of St. Andrew's, where his proficiency recommended him to the patronage of the Earl of Kinnoul, who appointed him his Librarian, and intended to have given him a living. He was accordingly ordained as assistant to the minister of Monivard; but the gaiety of his disposition soon put an end to his ecclesiastical prospects, aud he repaired to London, after obtaining from his noble patron a pension of 501. a year. Soon after his arrival he was engaged to revise and complete Dr. Watson's History of Philip theThird; and he performed his part so well, as to gain great credit, the friendship of many men of literary eminence, and a degree from the University of Glasgow. He now became an Author by profession; and one of his first employments was to complete a Commentary on the Bible, which was published under the name of Harrison. He edited a new translation of Josephus, and translated Cunningham's History of Great Britain. Among other periodical publications in which he was engaged, were the English Review, the European Magazine, the Political Herald, and the Whitehall Evening Post. For ten years he compiled the historical part of Dodsley's Annual Register, and was editor of many books which have passed under different names; and among the rest, of Stedman's History of the American War.
He was a man of extensive learning, and possessed of a strong and vigorous intel- lect. He was contemporary of the late Gilbert Stuart, whose life he wrote, and was intimately connected with the litera- rature and eminent literati of the age. His other publications, as far as they can be ascertained, were, Man in the Moon, 1782," 2 vols. 12mo; "Travels in Eu- rope, Asia, and Africa," 1782, 8vo; "Memoirs of the War in Asia, from 1780 to 1784," 1788, two volumes 8vo; "Mammuth, or Human Nature dis- played, in a Tour with the Tinkers into the central parts of Africa, 1789," 2 vols. 12mo; "Appeal to the people of Eng- land in behalf of Mr. Hastings, 1788," 8vo; "Letters from Scandinavia," 8vo; Buchanan's Travels in the Hebrides, 1793," 8vo; "Introduction to the His- tory of the Trial of Mr. Hastings, 1796," 8vo; "Military Memoirs," 8vo; "Acer- bi's Travels to the North Cape, translated from the Italian, 1802,", 4to.-Dr. Thom- son married a lady who has displayed her literary talents in several Novels.
P. 280, a. H. E. Holder, M. D. re- sided several years in the Island of Bar- badoes, where he possessed, and success- fully cultivated, an estate of considerable value. To the occupations which this pursuit afforded to his active and intelli- gent mind, he added the severer labours arising from the practice of medicine and surgery, in which he equally and greatly excelled. Dr. Holder graduated at Edin- burgh in the summer of 1816, and dis- played in his Thesis upon that occasion talents for exact and practical observa- tion of a very superior kind.
P. 285, b. Mrs. Hutton was the second wife of her excellent husband; and no woman ever filled more amiably the duties of wife and step-mother. Grief for an only daughter, whom she lost about 20 years since, undermined her constitution, and produced an excess of nervous irrita- bility, which led to her death. She had walked out in the morning of the day on which she died; and, meeting some un- fortunate men, whom the unfeeling myr- midons of the law were marching in irons through the public streets, the shock on her spirits produced a fit, from which she

He was also rector of Stoke Al- bany in Northamptonshire; and was for some years tutor to the present Duke of Portland. He was the author of several fugitive poems and essays; and, particu- larly, of a short series, under the title of
Peeping Tom," which appeared about 25 years since in the Leicester Herald.
P. 382, a. William Price, esq. (who was in his 62d year) was a Colonel in the army, brother of Uvedale Price, esq. of Foxley, co. Hereford, and nephew of the Bishop of Durham.
P. 474, b. Mr. John Goss was a native of Salisbury, and formerly a chorister boy of that Cathedral. His superior abilities had procured him the situation of a gentle. man of the Chapel Royal, and Vicar Choral of St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey.
P. 478, b. Mrs. Heywood proved herself an actress of considerable talents in cha- racters of a lively and elegant cast, during the short time that her health allowed her to appear on the Bath Theatre, Her maiden name was Dely, and at a very early age she was introduced to the pub- lick by Mr. Elliston at the Surrey Thea- A broken heart hurried her to the grave in her 28th year.
P. 569, a. In the early part of the French Revolution, Cardinal Maury was a Member of the National Assembly, and distinguished himself by his fervid elo- quence in opposition to the claims of liberty, and in support of the antient re- gime in Church and State. He was, how- ever, successfully opposed by Mirabeau, Rabaut St. Etienne, Bailly, Talleyrand Perigord, Condorcet, Fayette, and others; but he was so unpopular that the mob would on one occasion have hanged him on a lamp-post, if he had not converted their tragedy into a farce, by asking them, Whether, after they had bung him there, they thought they should see any better?"
P. 572, b. Mrs. Nevinson was a most
could not be recovered. She partook, in accomplished and interesting woman. She
the lighter walks of literature, in that taste for books which has conferred so much solid fame on her husband; and she was, on most subjects of conversation, as intel- ligent and agreeable, as in performing the duties of social life she was good, charitable, and exemplary.
P. 378, a. The late Rev. Henry Ryder Knapp was a man of retired character, but au elegant scholar, and of very superior wit and genius. He was elected from Eton to King's College, Cambridge, 1773;
has left two children by Dr. Nevinson, and was mother to Lieut. Moody, of the 56th regt. in Portsmouth garrison; who being under orders to embark for the Mediterra- nean, had set off the same morning to take leave of her, and arrived at her house scou after she had been brought in a corpse.
P. 574, a. Mrs. Broadhead was mother of Theodore Henry Broadhead, esq. M.P. for Wareham, Colonel Broadhead, and Lady Dashwood King. Her remains were deposited in the family-vault at Hendon.
