constant observation and immediate assistance; and remained in the house of one or other of them till the time of his decease. But, though his leg was cured, his debility increased; and occasionally he had sudden attacks, which deprived him, while they lasted, of distinct perception and judgment, and sometimes of the power of utterance so as to be understood. At length the fits became more frequent and alarming; and the last, which happened Jan. 5, 1804, produced a total insensibility; and in this state he continued till he died, without pain, and without a sigh or groan, on the 7th, at the Palace of Wells; and was buried, on the 16th, at the East end of the Cathedral. At the time of his death he was Rector of Fen Ditton and Willingham, co. Cambridge; which preferments (together with some offices in the Diocese of Norwich, given him by his father while Bishop of that See, and the Commissariate of the Archdeaconry of Sudbury and the Town of Bury, and the fifth Prebend of Ely, in which he was installed June 16, 1770), received from his father, had been in his possession half a century.

L. 1737; Rector of Kelshall, Herts; Rector of Radmill, Sussex, in 1749, which in the same year he exchanged for that of St. Mary Abchurch, London; Archdeacon of Lewes, and Chancellor of the Church of Chichester, 1751; Prebendary of Ely 1757; and Vicar of St. Peter's at St. Alban's 1763. He published a Sermon preached before the Governors of the Small-Pox Hospital in 1766; died at Kensington Jan. 27, 1770, and was buried at Chiswick. His wife having been struck with the palsy that after noon, and dying before the next morning, they were both buried at the same time. He was succeeded in his Prebend of Ely by his eldest son, Matthias D'Oyley, who had been educated at Westminster, and was afterwards of Bene't College, Cambridge; B. A. 1765; Rector of Pevensey, Sussex, in 1767; M. A. 1768. He resigned his Stall at Ely in 1757, on being presented to the Rectory of Burstead in Sussex. Thomas, his second son, who succeeded his father at St. Alban's, was of Christ's College, Cambridge; B. A. 1766; M. A. 1769. He exchanged St. Peter's in' 1799 for the Vicarage of Walton-upon-Thames, which he still holds; and is Chaplain to the King.

Terrick, taken in 1761; his right hand on a table, his left holding a book.

The following is an original Letter from this worthy Prelate; "DEAR SIR, Amen Corner, March 30, 1757. "You may possibly have seen my name in the Papers as Bishop of Peterborough. Had I been assured by a proper authority that the fact was really so, you should not have had the first intelligence from the public news. But indeed I could not give my friends that pleasure with any certainty before this day. Had not my domestic affairs suffered so much, I should have found it an easier task to have accepted his Majesty's favour to me; for I should then have been better able to have borne the necessary expence attending it. I must, however, go through it as well as I can, being unwilling to refuse a dignity in my profession which I must esteem as an honour to myself and family. - I am so much engaged in paying and receiving the compliments of my friends, that I am afraid it will not be in my power to call upon you until my hurry is over. Mrs. Terrick joins with me in compliments. I am, dear Sir,

"Your very affectionate and obliged servant, Ric. TERRICK." He published six single Sermons: 1. "On the King's Accession, before the House of Commons, 1742;" 2. "A Fast Sermon, before the Lord Mayor, 1745;" 3. "A Fast Sermon, before the House of Commons, 1756;" 4. "On the 30th of January, before the House of Lords, 1758; 5. "For the Propagation of the Gospel, 1758;" 6. "For the London Hospital, 1761."

His monument in Fulham Church-yard is thus inscribed: "Here lie the remains of Richard Terrick, late Bishop of London, Dean of the Chapel Royal, and one of the King's most honourable Privy Council. He was consecrated Bishop of Peterborough in July 1757, and translated to the See of London in June 1764. Having discharged the sacred duties of his function as became a virtuous and able Prelate during a period of twenty years, his great experience and sound judgment, his candour, moderation, and benevolence, would have raised him to a rank still more exalted; but, though happy in such a testimony of his Sovereign's approbation, he suffered no inducement to tempt him, at so late an hour, to change his sphere of public action, well satisfied with the consciousness of having so spent his day as to have secured to himself and to his memory that highest and most lasting of all earthly rewards, the esteem of good men. He died March 31, 1777, aged 66.

"Under this tomb are interred the remains of Mrs. Tabitha Terrick, widow of Dr. Richard Terrick, late Bishop of London. She died Feb. 14, 1790, in the 78th year of her age."

P. 576. See a more particular account of Mr. Laurence's Treatise on Gardening in Gent. Mag. vol. LXXVII. p. 607; which produced the following communication: "The Rev. John

Laurence

Laurence being my maternal great-grandfather, his Works fell into my hands many years ago. He has always stood high in my esteem, for the many excellent sentiments dispersed through what I may call his Domestic Life, the two volumes on Gardening, &c.; and for his orthodoxy and liberality as a Divine, in the octavo volume intituled "Christian Morals and Christian Prudence," published in 1717. This is a little body of sound practical Divinity, equally free from the Socinianism of that day, and from the Fatalism of the present, vulgariter Calvinism. The Author of it must have been a very learned, and, what is more, an internally pious Priest. The Edition of his Gardening in my possession contains a copper-plate of him, by Vertue, taken from an original painting, large as life, now at Pallion, Durham, the residence of his grandson, John Goodchild, esq. Laurence, I believe, is the orthography. He was a Prebendary of Salisbury; and was offered by the Lord Bishop of Durham the choice of either the Living of Haughton, near Darlington, or Bishop-Weremouth. He accepted the latter, and there he resided during the remainder of his life. His only son, John Laurence, was Rector of St. Mary Aldermanbury, and had also a Living in Essex. He also was a lover of a Garden. His three daughters were married: Elizabeth to Goodchild, of Pallion; Penelope, to Pemberton, of Bambridge Holme; and Mary, to Dale, of Durham. Yours, &c. JOHN STONEHOUSE, Manchester.” P. 599. Walter Titley, esq. was admitted a King's Scholar at Westminster 1714; elected to Cambridge 1719. Whilst he was a King's Scholar, he was much befriended by Bishop Atterbury, who chose him for his Son's Tutor. His taste and learning were much improved by the Bishop's conversation; and he was a resident in the family about the time of the supposed plot in 1722. From Westminster Mr. Titley went off to Trinity College, Cambridge, in which he for many years held the Lay-fellowship founded for a Civilian. He was early in life (1730) sent Envoyextraordinary to the Court of Copenhagen, where he died, after a long residence, very highly esteemed on account of his many, amiable qualities. Of his productions as an Author, which were rather little elegant trifles than elaborate performances, a good specimen may be scen in his celebrated "Imitation of Horace," Book IV. Ode 2; and some of his Latin Verses are in the Reliquiæ Galeanæ." He bequeathed a sum of money to the University of Cambridge, part of which was to be applied to the public buildings. This sum in 1768, when Sir James Marriot, Master of Trinity Hall, was Vice-chancellor, was voted to erect a Musick-room, of which a plan was engraved, to solicit a farther aid from contributions, but failed of success. This ingenious Gentleman's character shall be given in the words of an intelligent Prelate: "Among the contemporaries with Bishop Newton' at Westminster were many who made afterwards a distinguished figure in the world. Among these the Bishop particularly notices Walter Titley, a very ingenious young man, at first Secretary to

the

the Embassy at Turin, afterwards, for many years, his Majesty's Envoy to the Court of Denmark. His plan of life, as laid down by himself, was, to prosecute his studies at Cambridge till he should be thirty; from thirty to sixty to be employed in public business; at sixty to retire and return to College, for which purpose he would keep his fellowship. This plan he nearly pursued; he kept his Fellowship; he resigned his public employment; but, instead of returning to College, where in a great measure there were a new society, and few or none were left of his own age and standing, he remained at Copenhagen, where, by his long residence, he was in a manner naturalized, and there lived and died, greatly respected and lamented."

P. 644, note, l. 16. Of John Murray, esq. see vol. III. p. 663. P. 648. The Rev. Thomas Harmer, of Westerfield, co. Suffolk, a gentleman greatly and deservedly esteemed in the Literary World, particularly distinguished for his knowledge in Oriental, Learning, and his skill in the study of Antiquities. He was the Author of, 1. "Observations on divers Passages of Scripture; placing many of them in a Light altogether new, ascertaining the Meaning of several not determinable by the Methods commonly inade use of by the Learned, and proposing to Consideration probable Conjectures on others, different from what have been hitherto recommended to the Attention of the Curious, grounded on Circumstances incidentally mentioned in Books of Voyages and Travels in the East, 1764," 8vo. This edition being very incorrectly printed, was reprinted in 1777, with a second vo lume; and two more were added in 1787. 2. "The Outlines of new Commentary on Solomon's Song, drawn by the Help of Instructions from the East. Containing, 1. Remarks on its general Nature; 2. Observations on detached Places of it; 3. Queries concerning the Rest of this Poem, 1768," 8vo; second edition 1775.-He died, at an advanced age, November 27, 1788, having been upwards of fifty-four years Pastor of the Dissenting Congregation in that place; and his character was thus elegantly drawn by Dr. Symonds: "The reputation of Mr. Harmer, as a Scholar and a Divine, is, I believe, fully and universally established. If, as a Writer, he may sometimes be thought inelegant in his style, and too minute in the investiga tion of facts, yet these defects are amply compensated by the general choice of his materials, and the clearness of method with which he digested and arranged them. Some books come into the world set off with all the ornaments of language, and, with their authors, are soon forgotten; they resemble those meteors which by their luminous appearance attract our notice, and almost in the same moment vanish from our sight. The credit of Mr. Harmer's writings rests upon a foundation strong, and durable. He hath professedly treated a subject of the first importance, which had before been touched upon only incidentally; and, by shewing at large the wonderful conformity between the antient and modern customs in the East, hath not only thrown

thrown a considerable light upon numberless passages in the Bible, but hath opened new and fruitful sources of information, for the use of future Expositors. But it would be doing great injustice to Mr. Harmer to confine our attention to the fruits of his learning alone. As the whole purpose of his studies was to illustrate the Scriptures, so it was his constant endeavour to practise those duties which are therein declared to be essential to the forming of a true Christian. He was a man of unaffected piety; equally kind as a master, parent, and husband; meek and modest in his deportment; and invariably averse from every degree of intemperance and excess. Superior to all those narrow and illiberal prejudices which we are apt to imbibe from education or habit, he was governed by a general principle of benevolence; and though he was called the Father of Dissenters, yet his good offices were so far from being confined to those of his own communion, that he acknowledged and encouraged merit wheresoever he found it. I will apply to Harmer,' was the usual language of every injured person in his neighbourhood; and it seldom happened that the aggressor was not soon induced, by his persuasion, to repair the injury which he had done; and I do not exaggerate when I affirm, that there is not, probably, a single instance of an individual to be found, who, by a mild and seasonable interference, prevented more law-suits than Mr. Harmer. When we reflect that all these virtues, which he so eminently possessed, were still heightened by the character of a Peace-maker, a character to which an evangelical blessing is annexed, we cannot but look upon his death as a public loss; much less can we be surprised that it should deeply affect all those who personally knew him and enjoyed his friendship: but by none is it more sincerely lamented than by him who offers this slender tribute of regard to his memory."
