which he exchanged for the sixth in 1768; and in 1792 (on the death of Dr. Dickens) succeeded to the eleventh or golden Prebend. He died in October 1801, having never published any thing, I believe, but two single Sermons. Of his very learned Brother, see vol. VIII. p. 149. -- P. 282, 1. 1. The second name should be Huband. P. 285. Mr. William Riley was Singing-master to most of the Charity Schools in and about the Cities of London and Westminster, the Borough of Southwark, and parts adjacent. He had for many years conducted the singing at their anniversary meetings at Christ Church, as also the three last years that the said anniversary had been held in St. Paul's Cathedral, much to the satisfaction of the Trustees, and for which, on the 10th of June, 1784, he received their public thanks at the London Tavern. He died at his house in Little James-street, Bedfordrow, June 22, 1784. P. 286, note, 1. 25, for "is," r. "are." P. 327. note, 1. 21, for " Dr. H." r. "Mr. H." P. 331. "I happen to possess a Collection of 'Poems, by Robert Lloyd, M.A. Printed for the Author, by Dryden Leach, and sold by T. Davies, 1762. It is pompously printed in quarto, 277 pages, with a very handsome List of Subscribers, which fills 12 pages; and on the bottom of the title-page is written, in a strong black hand, like the signature of an Editor to authenticate a publication, 'Patience Churchill, 1762.' I know nothing of the history of the publication, not having been originally a subscriber." J. BROWN. P. 332. Robert Palmer, esq. was principal agent to the Duke of Bedford; which office he lived to improve to a very considerable amount, and maintained an universally good character. He purchased of the late Lord Masham, who died in 1776, the reversion of the manor of Otes, in Laver parish, Essex, which he left to the eldest of his two sons. He is supposed to have died possessed of 4000l. a year freehold, and at least 60,000l. in mortgages and in the stocks. At the anniversary dinner at Bedford-house in 1786 he was in higher spirits than he had appeared for some years. After he retired, he was taken ill; was soon speechless, and continued so till his dissolution, which happened, at his house in Great Russel-street, Bloomsbury, Jan. 21, 1787. P. 333. On an elegant monument of white marble in Isleworth Church is a bust by Nollekens, and this inscription: "Near this place are deposited the remains of and one of the Benchers of the Hon. Society of the Inner Temple, while warm regard and fond remembrance are Friendship's eager testimonies to the qualities of his heart. The The elegant Historian of pure and simple manners, his own resembled those which he described. The ingenious Author of works of fancy, gay, sentimental, tender, his imagination in its freest sallies paid respect to those decorums, the sense of which was ever conspicuous in his private life. The tribute may be vain, which thus Affection pays his memory, and vain the marble monument which would perpetuate his fame; at least, they mark the spot made sacred by a husband's dust, where widow'd love, when it pleases Heaven to dry its sorrows, is anxious to repose. To these revered ashes have accordingly been added those of JANE-Catharine KEATE, his relict, who died 18 March, 1800, aged 70; whose endearing virtues, which graced and adorned her own life, had, as he attests in his will, spread unceasing happiness and sunshine over his." P. 341. David Ruhnkenius, principal Librarian of the University of Leyden, and for 41 years Professor of Latin Literature, Eloquence, and History, died there, May 6, 1798. Of his two celebrated "Epistolæ Criticæ in Homeridarum Hymnos, Hesiodum, Callimachum, et Apollonium Rhodium," the first appeared in 1749, and the second in 1781. His Inaugural Dissertation on taking possession of his chair, in 1757, had for its title, "De Græciâ Artium ac Doctrinarum inventrice." Before this, he had published, in 1754, at Leyden, in octavo, “Timæi Sophistae Lexicon Vocum Platonicarum." The work by which his reputation has been the most extended, his "Homeri Hymnus in Cererem," appeared in 1782. He left behind him an infirm widow and two daughters, one of whom was blind. P. 345. Add the following "tribute to the memory of a great Scholar," by the Rev. Stephen Weston : "IN MORTEM TOUPII. O subtile caput, vastumque o mentis acumen ! Suave poetarum fortiter omnigenûm Morte ignominiam non memorata gemunt, Nullus et in toto corpore nævus erit." P. 347. Mrs. Brooke was buried at Sleaford, without any Epitaph; but the following Memorials in that Church were written by that elegant Lady, the first of them for her Uncle, the second for her Father: 1. "Near 1. "Near this place lie the remains of RICHARD MOORE, Gent. by his second wife, daughter of Edward Secker, Gent. of Grantham. he considerably improved his parental fortune by those commercial pursuits so justly honoured in a free state. He died May 14, 1771, aged 46. His widow, Anne Moore, erected this marble as a memorial of his merit and her affection. Also of Mrs. ANNE MOORE, relict of the above Mr. Moore, who died Oct. 20, 1775, in the 78th year of her age." 2. "Sacred to the memory of EDWARD MOORE, Esq. eldest son of the Rev. William Moore, of Carlton Scroop, in this County, by his second marriage with Jane daughter of Edward Secker, Esq. of Grantham. for every moral, social, and Christian virtue, His affectionate sister, Elizabeth Lomax, erected this monument to the memory of a Brother, not more endeared to her by the ties of blood than by those of esteem and friendship." P. 364. "January 15, 1558-9. was the Coronation Day of Qu. Elizabeth. It is certain that the word Inauguration may with great propriety be applied to that ceremony; but in English it is commonly considered as synonymous with the Accession; and, as appears repeatedly in this very page, the word Coronation, and that only, is the word used to designate that ceremony." J. BROWN. P. 368. "Dr. George Markham, Dean of York, is not the Archbishop's eldest son. The eldest is William, formerly in the East Indies under Mr. Hastings. He was the person who seized Cheyt Sing at Benares." W. VINCENT.-P. 385, 1. 12, r. “30th." P. 420. "Dr. Lowth never was Bishop of Limerick; accepting a Stall in Durham, and Sedgfield, a Living in that Diocese, in preference." E. J. P. 421, 1. 15-20. Lord Mansfield, who, in common with every scholar, much admired this beautiful Epitaph, was of opinion that it would have been still stronger had it concluded with the fourth line. P. 422 The following Epitaph was proposed for Bp. Lowth: "If learning, genius, manners void of guile, The Schoolman's labour, and the Christian's toil; If brightest parts devoted but to good, A soul which every selfish view withstood; If heavenly Charity's most winning charms, And boundless love, with ever-outstretch'd arms; Of private virtues, such as grace the plain; K K If If God's Vicegerent, acting on that plan Which most endears man's dignity to man, E'er won thy heart ;-LowTH's sacred shrine survey, And with a weeping World thy tearful tribute pay." CLIO. P. 435. Dr. Owen's Father died at the age of 100; and the Son, from his athletic form (if we may judge from the Portrait taken of him at the period of life when he practised Physick), seemed to have a probable chance for an equally long duration of life; but the res angusta domi, affecting his naturally chearful spirits, might probably have accelerated his dissolution. P. 439, note, 1. 10, for "accused by," r. "accursed for." Pp. 439-441. "To the Works of Archdeacon Dodwell might (perhaps should) be added his posthumous Tract on the Athanasian Creed, a small duodecimo volume, published perhaps ten years ago, chiefly at the suggestion of Dr. Loveday. It was delivered in a Series of Charges at his Visitations as Archdeacon of Salisbury. The latter part I myself heard the venerable Author deliver at a Visitation at Abingdon, about the year 1778, when I had a curacy near Abingdon. The worthy Archdeacon was very pleasing, communicative, and interesting in his conversation after dinner, detailing anecdotes of persons whom he had known who were elected Demies of Magdalen at the same time with Addison; when, I think, he said there were fourteen vacancies (far more than usually happen); and I think Sacheverell was one of the fourteen who were elected; but I do not recollect that he spoke of him in particular."

"It is stated that Mr. Carte had a controversy, respecting the King's share in the Irish Massacre, with Mr. (afterwards the celebrated Dr.) Chandler.' Now the fact is, that it was with the Father of Dr. Chandler that Mr. Carte had the controversy alluded to; viz. Mr. Henry Chandler, who was one of my predecessors as Minister of the Congregation of Presbyterian Dissenters in this city [Bath]. He was a worthy, sensible man. Some account of him is to be found in Dr. Chandler's article in the Biographia; but a fuller account is given of him in one of the volumes of the Protestant Dissenters' Magazine. I find this mention of the Chandlers in a sinall Collection of unpublished Letters of Archbishop Secker, written to a near Relation, while he was a young man: Mr. Chandler's Son, of the Bath, who has lodged with me these four months, has got a place of 70l. a year, and is to leave us next week; as I would do the town (he continues) if it was not chiefly for one reason I have a good opportunity of studying Natural Philosophy, and particularly Anatomy, this Winter, which I know not whether I shall ever meet with again, and therefore would willingly im - prove now. London, July 26, 1716.' Writing from Paris, 19 July 1719, he mentions his intention of spending another Winter there; informs his Correspondent of some civilities he had received from Lord Huntingdon, whom he had known at Buxton; and assigns as a reason for not visiting earlier, that he had had the company of Mr. John Bowes [afterwards, I believe, the Irish Chancellor of that name], who was come to Paris to see if exercise and diversions would carry off an intermitting fever, with great depression of spirits, under which he was suffering. He (i. e. Mr. Bowes) was at Bath this Spring (where, by-the-bye, Mr. Chandler is dead), and fell into acquaintance," &c.-These Letters of Secker's, twenty-two in number, besides some written at a later period of his life, shew him to have been a lively, ingenious, sensible young man, and entertaining correspondent. As they are, in every point of view, creditable to his memory, they may possibly, at some future time, be given to the Publick." J. HUNTER. P. 476. "I never met with any body but Mr. Thomas Carte who talked of Impartiality and Mr. Thomas Carte in the same breath. But, waving that question, I cannot help asking, If the Irish Rebellion, and all the mischiefs of that period, are to be attributed to Commissions and Powers forged by the soidisant Earl of Glamorgan, what pretence is there for laying all the load and odium thereof upon the Parliament?" J. BROWN. P. 513. “Cistern Jernegan died 8 October 1761." J. BROWN. P. 537. Henry Heaton, a native of Doncaster, was admitted of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, 1730; and became Fellow and Tutor of that College; B. A. 1774; M. A. 1777; B. D. 1786, Domestic Chaplain to Archbishop Herring, who collated him in 1752 to the Vicarages of Boughton under Blean and Herne-hill, Kent; to the Mastership of Eastbridge Hospital in 1753; and to the Rectory of Ivechurch in 1754, when he quitted Hernehill. He was presented in 1757 to the First Stall in the Cathedral of Ely (being an Option) by the Archbishop's Executors. From 1757, the year in which the Archbishop died, Mr. Heaton resided chiefly at Boughton; where he died July 7, 1777, and was, by his own desire, buried in that parish church, where a mural monument is thus inscribed: "Near this place lie the Remains of the Rev. HENRY HEATON, B. D. late Prebendary of Ely, Master of Eastbridge Hospital in the City of Canterbury, Rector of Ivechurch, and Vicar of this Parish. He was a great example as well as an admirer of the antient simplicity of manners, which he thought had been unhappily exchanged for the vicious refinements of the present age. He was a liberal benefactor to the poor and distressed; and, being attentive only to the sincere discharge of the duties of Christianity, he sought not the praise of man; and as he was good himself, not from ostentation but religion, so he censured not the failings of others, but beheld them with compassion. Actuated by this spirit of universal charity, he died, as he lived, in peace with all the world, on the 7th day of July, MDCCLXXVII, aged LXVII." KK 2 P. 548, |
