fick nefs, which prevented his refiding at P. 689, a. The late Rev. Robert-Edward Garnham was born at Bury St. Edmund's, May 1, 1753, and was the only furviving child of the Rev. Robert G. many years master of the free grammar-íchool at Bury, and rector of Nowton and Hargrave, in Suffolk *. His mother was Mary, daughter of Mr. Benton, and fifter of the late Edward B. efq. fecondary in the Court of King's Bench. Mr. G. received his fchooleducation under the tuition of his father, who justly fupported a confiderable reputation for claffical learning. Ile was removed from Bury fchool, and admitted of Trinity college, Cambridge, in 1770, and the following year was elected scholar. In 1774 be was admitted to his degree of B. A. which he obtained with credit to his college and himself; and was elected fellow in 1775, and proceeded M. A. in 1777. In 1793 he was elected college preacher, and, in November, 1797, was advanced into the feniority. He was ordained deacon March 3, 1776, in Park street chapel, Weftminster, by Dr. Philip Young, then bishop of Norwich; and afterwards entered on the curacies of Nowton and Great Welnatham, in the neighbourhood of Bury. On June 15, 1777, he was ordained preft in Trinity-college chapel, by Dr. Hinch liffe, then bishop of Peterborough and maf ter of the college. But, in the course of his ftudying the Scriptures, he was led to diftinguish between the revealed word of God and the accumulated and heteroge-learning, and from his excellent judgment, neous doctrines and commandments of men. He feriously confidered and weighed the respect which was feverally due to divine and human authority; and the unqualified affent which every official repetition of the public fervice of the Church not only implied but was understood to exprefs. It was not, however, till after the coolest deliberation and moft entire conviction, that he determined never to repeat his fubfcription to the XXXIX Aiticles for any preferment which he might become entitled to from the college patronage, or which might be offered to him from any other quar er. Agreeably to, and confiftently with, this fate of mind, he refigned, at Midfummer, 1789, the curacies in which he was then engaged, and refolved thenceforward to decline officiating in the ministry. Mr. Garnham's health was never robuft, and, during the last five or fix years of his life, fuffered much from He was formerly fellow of Trinity college, Cambridge, and took the degree of B. A. 1737, and M. A. 1747. After having retired fome years from his fchool, he died at Bury, Nov. 8, 1798, aged 82. His widow furvived him little more than twelve months, dying at Bury, Dec. 6, 1799, aged 79. They were buried in the chance of the parith-church of Nowton. to have fhone in the moft diftinguished fociety; but his natural temper difpofed him to retirement from the bufy hum of men. He was, therefore, generally referved in mixed and numerous companies; but he greatly enjoyed the focial inter courfe of rational and liberal minds. With his felect and confidential friends he was unrestrained in his communications; nor was he lefs confidential in any trust repo fel in him, than he was devoted to fupport every profeffion of friendship. His attainments, tafte, and fuccefs in biblical criticifm, and generally in claffical litera ture, as alfo his acumen in theological controverfy, may be fatisfactorily afcertained by a reference to his writings. These were indeed anonymous; but the means of ac cefs to them will be made eafy by the fubjoined catalogue; and, if an ardour for truth, acuteness of difcernment, foundness of judgment, and clearness of reasoning; if freedom of enquiry, conducted with ap happy mixture of wit and argument, where the fubject or occafion admitted, can recommend theological literature, ins writings will be read and refpected whereever they are known. His private corre fpondence was peculiarly marked by ac curate obfervations on the figns of the times, and happy delineations of charac ters which have variously figured in his day, day, and whofe movements came within his own knowledge, or were of unqueftioned public notoriety-Catalogue of his writings: 1."

It was in the course of our unreferved correfpondence, immediately after the failure of a bank at Bury, in 1797, which involved his father and himfelt in no inconfiderable lofs, that he wrote, in reply to what I had proposed to him on that occafion, thus: "But it will not be in my power to accept the very friendly invitation till after the next dividend. Upon the bankruptcy taking place, I determined, if pothole, not to fail in any one of the little douceurs I was in the hibit of bettowing, in the eleemofynary way, to a few perions with whofe neceflities I am acquainted; and as it is impotiible to lofe the best part of a year's income withont making retrenchments fomewhere, I was prompt in deciding that the abridgeiment thould be in perfonal gratifications; of which the greatest I certainly esteem, that of prefenting myself before my London friends." F. 1075. The late Rev. Charles Wildfore, though an eminent mathematician and philofopher, did not favour the world with any feparate publication bearing his own name; bot he poured much light upon the regions of Science, through the medium of thofe periodical publications which ars chiefly devoted to mathematical researches. He contributed a number of valu ble articles to Martin's Mifcellaneous Correfpondence, between the years 1755 and 1753, particularly an excellent paper, in which he made it his bufinels to prove that the moon's orbit was always concave, with respect to the fan.. He began his contributions to the Gentleman's Diary id 1759, when that performance was conducted by Mr. T. Peat. In the f..ne year be commenced his communications to the Ladies' Diary, which was edited by Profeffor Simpfon, of Woolwich. In 1773 and 1774 he carried on a fpirited but apicable controverfy, in Dr. Hutton's Majcellarea Mathematica, with Mr. John Dawfon, of Sedbergh, a gentleman well known at Cambridge, and who juítly boafs of the number of his pupils who have been fenior-wranglers of that univerfity. The fubject of this controverfy was "the Ve locity of Water iffuing from a Veffel when put in Motion." In 1780 hs friend Dr. Hutton procured for him the editorship of the Gentleman's Diary, an honour which he had long wifhed to attain, and he was highly gratified by the circumittance, From that period his valuable communications to the faid publication always appeared under the character of EUMENES, and those in the Ladies' Diary under that of AMICUS. The prize-queftion in this laft Diary for 1803 is by Mr. Wildbore, and is a very curious and intricate question in the D.phantine Algebra. P. 1156. Whatever has a reference to a man who has been the ornament of the last century, and whofe celebrity will defcend to future ages, cannot but be acceptable to all who are admirers of the fine arts. Thofe who have watched the regu lar but rapid improvement of that branch of fcience in which Mr. Bartolozzi cunfelfedly ftands without a rival, will be happy to hear what has been his reception in a country to which adverfe cucumftances have driven him. Patronized with a degree of liberality beyond example, in a land which has ever fottered genius and ability, the eminent aruit who forms the fubject of our oblervations found himself compelled, at an advanced, a very advanced, period of his life, to te k that com. fort on a foreign there which events of a perfons and domeftic nature had deprived him of the hope of enjoying here. We are are favoured with his letter, announcing P. 1161, a. l. 14, r. "22. Rev. Peregrine P. 1166. Mr. Romney was eldest of fix fons of a carpenter in Furnets, co. Lancafter, who, intending him for his own buinefs, kept him at it till he was near 15. Caricatures of fingular characters among his neighbours on barn-doors, as well as wild fandicape, were his leifure amufements; and he decorated the back of a violin of his own making with carving. Thefe dawnings of genus induced a gentlemen of taste in that neighbourhood to put him apprentice, for three years, to an itinerant painter, then in flourithing circomitances, at Kendal, whom he accompained to York, and, copying every thing he thought excellent, till he furpaffed his matter, and is father having bought out the reft of his time, he returned to Kendal. Before he let that town be painted the Death of Gen. Wolfe; and various other specimens in hiftory, portrait, landfcape, and humour, were difpoted of by lottery, to furnish him with means of vi. fiting the capital. The picture abovemen. tioned was fmuggled by his friends into an exhibition; but the committee decreed to it only the fecond prize, on account of the omittion of boots on the general's legs; and the picture was inftantly fold for a large fum. After raifing, by incetfant ap plication, a fum fufficient to carry him into Italy, he made sketches from the works of the great mafters, and, returning to London, began to ornament his fhew-room with the portraits of many of our noblemen. These were to produce him an income. Hiftoric painting was his forte, as appears by the Storm raifed by Profpero, in the Suffolk gallery; Mikon dictating Paradife Loft to his Daughters; Scenes from schylus, St. Cecilia, King Lear and his Daughter Cordelia. These are the fubjects of some of his hiftoric pictures, which fhew what he would have done had he been independent enough to give fcope to his genius before it was too late to advantage the arts or the pub. lick. He had cafts taken from the moft celebrated antique ftatues, and intended to build a room for them, to be decorated with his own defigns. An irritable tem per, and the fmalleft incidents of vexa tion, fhook his constitution. A growing imbecillity made him give up the pened and retire to Kendal, where he died. Sir Johua Reynolds confeffed him his rival when young in reputation; and he was celebrated by one of our best poets. His colours ftand, grow mellow and more like Nature, by age. Ibid. b. l. 18.

P. 1170. The late Bp. Butler had been long kept alive by great care and at ention, and at lait departed very eafy, and in the enjoyment of his intellects till a fhort time before his diffolution. He has left a very ample fortune, although, in his life-time, he was very charitable, and did fome very noble acts of friendship to the relatives of fome of his deceafed friends, whom he thought a compliment of scol. might be ufeful to. Three inftances to this amount the writer of this article knows were fewn within two years of his death. His three executors are, his relation, Dr. Ford (to whom he had given the valuable living of Cradley, co. Hereford, worth roool, per annum); Mr. Strang, a Hamburgh mershant, and Mr. Griffiths, a proctor, who was his fteward. Dr. Ford, as refiduary legatee, will have, it is faid, more than 20,000l.; Mr. Strang 20col.; and Mr. Grifills Griffiths 1000l.; his two head fervants Ioool. each; fmall legacies to his other fervants; to his two relations refiding at Hamburgh gecol. each; to the Rev. Mr. Squire, head-mafter of Hereford school, gool.; and to his chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Wallond, 9ool. Some other fmali legacies; but, we regret to fay, that, to the county infirmary and clerical charity nothing is left. He was buried near the throne in Hereford tathedral, by Bp. Benett's monument, not, as was mentioned in the papers, near Booth's. P. 1172 By the death of Lady Bateman, Lord Sackville has come into a large fortune, her ladyfhip having left him most of her perfonal eftate, amounting to 5000l. per annum. The estate in Herefordshire is become the property of Mr. Hanbury, a Northampton gentleman. His lordship cut off the entail before his death, and left it to Lady Bateman during her life, who lived only a few months to enjoy it. P. 1173. The great fuccefs in life of the late Mr. Alderman Cadell is one of the many proofs that this metropolis has for years afforded, that application and induftry, when unforeseen misfortune and fevere ill health do not intervene, feldom fail to meet with their due reward; and, more efpecially, where thofe neceffary qualifications for bufinefs are accompanied by a spirit of enterprize unalloyed by rafhnefs or want of caution. Mr. Andrew Millar, the predeceffor of Alderman Cadell, was in poffeffion of very humble means when he commenced bufinefs, and lived fome years facing St. Clement's church. He died rich, and very deservedly, as he was a liberal patron of authors. Previous to his time, Lintott and the Tonfons were at the head of the bookfelling trade. young, dau. of the late Rev.
