ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. Vol. LXXXI. Part ii. p. 596. The following epitaph has been placed on a white marble monument on the North wall of the chancel in Hinckley church:"Beneath are deposited the remains of Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the late George Hicks, esq. M. D. of St. James's, Westminster. She died in this place on the 1st of Dec. 1811, of a rapid decline, on her way from Edgerston in Roxburghshire to Bristol, in the 34th year of her age. This stone is intended only to mark the place of her interment: the hearts of all who knew her are the tablets upon which her virtues are inscribed." The late Sir Wadsworth Busk, knt. (see p. 597) was formerly a student of the Middle Temple, by which honourable society he was called to the bar. He was afterwards appointed Attorney-general at the Isle of Man, and a Bencher of the Middle Temple, in the great and noble hall of which occurs his name as Autumn. Lector. 1794; and coat of arms, quarterly, first and fourth, three oaks, Vert; second and third, three bells. The late Rev. William Brereton (see p. 91 of the present Volume) died on the 5th of Jan. He was a year and a half at the head of the foundation at Eton, was nearly fifty years rector of Cottesmore, and formerly archdeacon of Stafford, which a paralytic complaint made him honourably resign. His life was prolonged by the unwearied attention and nursing of his amiable daughter for nearly 15 years to the advanced age of 86. By his decease the community sustains an irreparable loss; in him were united the elegant scholar and the polished gentleman, the upright magistrate and the pious Christian. He acquired, therefore, in every relation of a long and honourable life, the esteem and affection due to the merit of having employed the first abilities in the best manner. He married Miss Neville of Thorney, Lincolnshire, who died 1799, and left three daughters; one married to Thomas Tryon, esq. of Bulwick, Northamptonshire. He was the surviving son of Lieut.-colonel Brereton, of the Horseguards, by his second wife, Mary Hayes, of Holyport, Berks. His eldest brother Francis, a Lieutenant in the Guards, was killed at the battle of Fontenoy, in 1745, at the early age of 24, by a cannon-ball, while resting on a drum, his Royal Highness William Duke of Cumberland having just risen from it. His youngest brother, Major Cholmondeley Brereton, was killed at the battle of Wandiwash, East Indies. The words in Smollett's Concinuation are, "the gallant and accomplished Major Brereton, whose death was a real loss to his country." The last mentioned left an only son, William Brereton, of Pagham, Sussex. The Colonel also left three daughters; the eldest married to the Rev. Dr. Haynes, canon residentiary of Windsor, and rector of Hatfield, Herts; the second, to John Chesshyre, esq. of Bennington, Herts, and mother to the Countess Fauconberg. Mr. Lynn (see p. 93) is stated not to be dead. P. 94. Mrs. Ann Hall, wife of Ambrose Hall, esq. of the Hermitage, Walton on the Hill, who died in her 77th year, at Sutton, in Surrey, was eminently distinguished for a fine understanding and amiable disposition, which led her to the practice of all the Christian virtues. Early in life she had the advantage of being frequently in company with Dr. Johnson, Dr. Hawkesworth, and several other admired literary characters, whose friendship. she secured from her merit and interesting conversation. Three years previously to her decease, a paralytic affection deprived her of the use of her limbs; but fortunately not entirely of her mental faculties; and, being blessed with a retentive memory, her cheerful and impressive manner drew her friends constantly around her, who witnessed her patient resignation to the will of Providence. During the whole of her long life, she invariably administered comfort and consolation to the poor and afflicted, who must sincerely regret her loss. A friend, who long knew and honoured her, offers this humble tribute to departed worth. Her remains were interred on the 3d of February in Suttou church-yard, in a vault built on purpose for the family; and her friend, the Rev. Dr. Strahan, performed the last sad offices over her grave.
