The Bibliotheca is closed; yet he is not,' we are told, without hope of addressing the purchasers again in a future work on the subject of British Antiquities, which may be printed in uniformity with the present, but under a title that shall make it entirely distinct.' We must, therefore, for a season, take our leave of Mr. Nichols and this laborious undertaking. He has been long engaged in contributing to the public information and amusement, in an innocent and laudable way; and possibly without reaping any considerable pecuniary benefit. He has assuredly the merit of great industry and attention in the execution of his plan, and has spared no expence for rendering it exact and ornamental. The volumes now finished have the credit of selecting and preserving memorials of different kinds, which might otherwise have been greatly obliterated, or wholly lost; and they are likely to prove useful co-adjutors to any persons who may hereafter engage in similar researches." M. Rev. N. S. V. 169–172. The Work was some time after recommenced, under the title of "Miscellaneous Antiquities, in Continuation of the Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica;" of which only Six Numbers were published. A few other Topographical Works, however, were printed in the same size and form; and the whole (when by any chance they are purchased) may be conveniently thus arranged: VOL. I. PART I.

VIII. p. 425. He was educated first at Eton; and afterwards at St. John's College. Cambridge; B. A. 1780; M. A. 1783; Rector of St. Olave, Old Jewry, and St. Martin, Ironmonger Lane, 1787; Prebendary of Lincoln, 178..; Archdeacon of St. Alban's, 1789. In 1797 he resigned his City Livings, on being presented to the Rectory of Little Bursted in Essex; and in 1806 became Rector of Northall, Middlesex; Rector of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, 1813; Archdeacon of London, 1814. Whilst a boy at Eton, he published a Poem in two Cantos, the title of which I am not able to ascertain; and afterwards, in 1779, an octavo volume of "Poems," consisting of Odes, Elegies, &c.; and in 1782, an octavo volume of" Elegies," with Seimane, a Tragedy." These, though juvenile performances, are by no means discreditable to his reputation. His next publications were, "An Essay on Landscape Painting, with Remarks, General and Critical, on the different Schools, and Masters, Antient and Modern, 1783," sm. 8vo. and "An Account of the Parish of Fairford, in the County of Gloucester; with a Description of the Stained Glass in the Windows of the Church, Engravings of antient Monuments, with Inscriptions*." and "The Tour of Valentine, 1786," small 8vo. (reprinted in 1796); an interesting and instructive little work, friendly to virtue, and giving rise to just and useful reflections and conversations on subjects of the greatest importance. But it is in his professional capacity that Mr. Pott has more peculiarly distinguished himself. His Primary Charge was delivered to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of St. Alban's, May 7, 1789; and was followed by others, in 1791, 1792, 1796, 1797, 1800, 1805, 1808, 1809, 1812.-The good Archdeacon has also published the Sermon for the Humane Society, 1790, which occasions this Note; "Three Sermons for the Festivals and Fasts of the Church of England, 1790," 8vo; "Elementary Discourses; designed for the use of a young Person after Confirmation, 1792," 12mo; "A Sermon preached before the Rev. the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Archdeaconry of London, at the Visitation held in the Parish Church of Christ Church, April 27, 1793," 4to. "A Discourse on the Lord's Day, or Christian Sabbath; in which the Points of Doctrine on this great subject, and the correspondent Line of Practice, are briefly and distinctly stated; published in Addition to Three Sermons on the Festivals and Fasts of the Church of England, 1794," 8vo. "A Sermon preached at St. Paul's, June 5, 1794, being the Time of the Yearly Meeting of the Charity Schools, &c." 4to. "The Pattern of Christian Prudence and Discretion, urged against hurtful and fantastic Schemes of Life, 1800," 4to. "Concio ad Clerum Provinciæ Cantuariensis, in Æde Paulinâ, Kal. Novemb. habita, 1803." "Considerations on the general Conditions of the Christian Covenant, with a View to some important Controversies, 1805," 8vo. "Strictures on a Visitation Sermon, preached at Danbury in Essex, July 6, 1806," Svo. 1807. There masterly "Strictures," though anonymous, were generally ascribed to Archdeacon Pott; who probably considered it more delicate to withhold his name, as the obnoxious Sermon was not preached within his Archdeaconry. "Remarks on two Particulars in a Refutation of Calvinism, &c. by a Friend to the Principles of that Work, ISH," Svo. "A Sermon on the Love of our Country, preached in the Parish Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, on Thursday, Jan. 13, 1814, being the day appointed for a General Thanksgiving," 4to. "A Sermon on the Restoration of Peace; preached in the Parish Church of St. Martin-in-theFields, on Thursday, July 7, 1814; being the day appointed for a General Thanksgiving; printed by Request, 1814," 4to. * For the accommodation of those to whom it might not be convenient to purchase the Gloucestershire Collections, Mr. Bigland reprinted the whole of the very curious parish of "De Morbis quibusdam Commentarii. Auctore Clifton Wintringham*, Baronetto, M. D. Colleg. Medic. Londinens. et Parisiens. Socio, Societatis Regiæ Sodali, Exercitûs Britannici Medico Primario, et Medico Regio. Tom. II. " 8vo.

Fairford, remarkable for the variety and excellence of its painted glass, in a small quarto pamphlet, containing a beautiful view of the church, and several of the monumental brasses. * In addition to what has been transcribed in vol. II. p. 34, it may be observed that Dr. Clifton Wintringham the son was knighted, and on 27 October 1774 created a Baronet, being then of Dover-street, in the parish of St. George, Hanoversquare; with remainder to Jarvis Clifton, esq. second son of Sir Jarvis Clifton, bart. of Clifton, Nottinghamshire. The limitation, however, I suppose, was unavailing, as his title seems to have died with him.-In the Library at Trinity College, Cambridge, is a small marble image of Esculapius, found at Sarne, near a river called Speculum Dianæ, 14 miles from Rome, and this inscription on paper on the pedestal: "Effigiem hanc in Trin. Coll. recipi voluit CLIFTONUS WIN- cujus ut in hoc quain in aliis expleantur ANNA WINTRINGHAM." ↑ «The first volume of this work was printed in 1782 (see vol. II. p. 34; III. 144, 503.) The second, which is now presented to the Publick, contains a successive course of observations on a great variety of diseases, in which the excellent Author has displayed a philosophical discernment, and an intimate knowledge, of the human constitution in all its parts, and under all its infirmities. The style in which these Commentaries are written is clear, easy, unaffected Latinity." Gent. Mag. vol. LXI. p. 156. This, though the First Part, had been, for reasons assigned in the Preface, preceded by The Loves of the Plants. §"A native of Elton, in Nottinghamshire, where he was born Dec. 12, 1731. After going with credit, through the usual school education under the Rev. Mr. Burrows, at the Grammar-school at Chesterfield, he was sent to St. John's College, Cambridge; where he continued only till 1755, when, having the degree of M. B. he went to Edinburgh, to complete his studies; which being finished, and having taken the degree of M. D. he went to Lichfield, and there commenced his career of practice. Being sent |
