was early made a member), he imparted to them, a complete Natural History of the Cuckoo. Dr. Jenner also communicated to his youthful friend and colleague, Dr. Parry of Bath, his discovery of the internal diseased structure of the heart, which produces the disease called Angina Pectoris, and which was before unknown and conjectural. After a long and arduous inquiry into the disease termed Cow Pox, which is a common complaint in cows in Gloucestershire, and some other counties, and which, to those who receive it from the cows in milking, appears from long existing tradition, to confer complete security from Small Pox, either natural or inoculated, Dr. Jenner determined to put the fact to the test of experiment, and accordingly,in 1797,inoculated some young persons with matter taken from the disease in the cows. From the proof of the powers which these experiments afforded, of the Cow Pox inoculation to protect the human being from Small Pox contagion, Dr. Jenner was induced to bring this inestimable fact before the public in 1798. This discovery he promulgated with all the simplicity of a philosopher, and with all the disinterestedness of a philanthropist.

His remains were interred at Berkeley, Feb. 3rd, followed by an immense concourse of persons.

27. At his house, in Bedford-row, in his 86th year, Charles Hutton, LL.D. FR.S. Dr. Hutton was a native of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where he was born in 1737. At an early age he opened a school in the place of his birth; and in 1764 published his first volume, "A Practical Treatise on Arithmetic and Book-keeping." To this a Key for the use of Tutors was afterwards added; and,in 1768, appeared his quarto Treatise on Mensuration, which led to his election to the Royal Society, and his appointment at Woolwich, which he held till 1807, and then retired on account of ill health, with a liberal and well-merited pension from government, and a just eulogy from the Board of Ordnance, the department best acqainted with his services. Dr. Hutton was for some time foreign secretary to the Royal Society; but when sir Joseph Banks succeeded to sir John Pringle in its presidency, a misunderstanding arose, and the doctor was deprived of his office. Besides the works already mentioned, Dr. Hutton published The

Principles of Bridges, 8vo. 1772; The · Diarian Miscellany, 5 vols. 12mo.; a Selection of useful and entertaining Parts from the Ladies' Diary, of which he was for a long time editor; Elements of the Conic Sections, 8vo. 1777; Tables of the Products and Powers of Numbers, folio, 1784; Mathematical Tables (Logarithms), 1785-five editions to 1811; Tables of Interest, 8vo, 1786; Tracts, Mathematical and Philosophical, 4to.same year; Compendious Measurer, 12mo, id.; Mathematical and Philosophical Dictionary, 2 vols. 4to. 1796; and many other treatises on Mathematics, Projectiles, and Philosophy. As a proof how little his extraordinary abilities were impaired, either by advanced age or the langour of illness, it may be mentioned, that, almost in his very last moments, he drew up a paper in reply to the scientific questions proposed to him by the Bridge-house committee, relative to the curves most proper to be employed for the arches of the projected New London Bridge. The immediate cause of his decease was a cold, that affected his lungs, and carried him off apparently without pain. His remains were interred on February 4, in the family vault at Charlton, in Kent.

29. At Woodlands, Blackheath, at the advanced age of 91, John Julius Angerstein, esq. of Pall-mall. This gentleman, was born at St. Petersburgh, in the year 1735. About 1749 he came to England, under the patronage of the late Andrew Thompson, esq. an opulent Russian merchant. In that gentleman's counting-house he remained for some time, and, when he came of age, he was introduced to Lloyd's by his patron. With good natural abilities and unwearied application, Mr. Angerstein quickly became celebrated as a broker and underwriter. His subscription to a policy was quite sufficient to induce other underwriters to add their names. In such repute were his policies, that, for some years after, they were called Julians, as a mark of distinction. It is, therefore, not surprising, that he at length reached the summit of commercial fame and prosperity; his reputation being spread to all quarters where commerce is known. In public loans his list was always ranked among the first, and monied men were anxious to obtain a place in it. Nor were his exertions confined only to his

own benefit. The frequenters of Lloyd's Coffee-house owe to his strenuous efforts the accommodations which they at present enjoy. He was the proposer of the issue of Exchequer Bills in 1793, by which, at a critical moment, relief was afforded to trade. The Veterinary college would, perhaps, have sunk to the ground, had he not made a vigorous effort in its favour, at a moment when its funds were nearly exhausted; and he was the first to propose, from the fund at Lloyd's, a reward of two thousand pounds to that meritorious discovery, the life-boat. It is no slight proof of his worth, that he enjoyed the friendship of Dr. Johnson, sir Joshua Reynolds, Garrick, Jonas Hanway, and many other eminent contemporaries. As a patron of art he ranked high. His collection in Pall-mall contained some of the finest works of the foreign and British artists.

-At his residence, in the Regent's park, Lucius Concannon, esq. M.P. for Winchelsea.

31. At her house, at St. Stephen's, near St. Alban's, Miss Sheffield, daughter of the late sir Charles Sheffield, and aunt to the present sir Robert Sheffield, bart. Normanby-hall, Lincolnshire.

FEBRUARY.

1. At Calcutta, sir Robert Henry Blosset, knt. lord chief justice of Calcutta, formerly an eminent counsel upon the Norfolk circuit, and deputy recorder of Cambridge. He was appointed lord chief justice of Calcutta, and received the honour of knighthood, in 1822.

At North Cray, Kent, in his 86th year, the rev. Thomas Moore, rector for fifty-seven years of that parish, and the adjoining one of Foot's Cray.

2. In Piccadilly, Magdalene countess dowager of Dysart.

At Coln, St. Aldwin's, near Fairford, Gloucestershire, in his 70th year, general Lister, late colonel of the 45th regt. and governor of Landguard Fort.

3. In Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, in his 92nd year, the rev. James Jones, D. D. chancellor of the diocese of Hereford.

Aged 89, the rev. J. Cooke, D. D. nearly forty years president of Corpus

Christi college, rector of Woodeaton and Begbrooke, and for about fifty years an active magistrate for the county of Oxford.

5. In Harley-sreet, lady Rumbold, relict of sir Thomas Rumbold, bart. and daughter of Dr. Edmund Law, bishop of Carlisle.

7. In Stafford-row, Pimlico, Mrs. Anne Radcliffe, long known and admired by the literary world, as the author of some romances, which have been trans. lated into every European tongue. Her first work was "Athlin and Dumblaine, her second The Romance of the Forest, and her third The Sicilian Romance, which established her fame as an elegant and original writer. Her next production, published in 1793, was the famous Mysteries of Udolpho, for which the Robinsons gave her 1000., and were well repaid for their speculation, the work being universally sought for, and many large editions rapidly sold. In 1794, Mrs. Radcliffe gave to the world a Narrative of her Travels in France, Germany, and Italy; but in describing matters of fact, her writings were not equally favoured. Some years after, Cadell and Davies gave her 1,500/ for her Italian, which, though generally read, did not increase her reputation. The anonymous criticisms which appeared upon this work, the imitations of her style and manner by various literary adventurers, the publication of some other novels under a name slightly varied for the purpose of imposing on the public, and the flippant use of the term "Radcliffe school," by scribblers of all classes, tended to disgust her with the world, and to create a depression of spirits, which led her for many years to seclude herself from society. Her loss of spirits was followed by ill health, and the only solace of her latter years was the unwearied attentions of an af fectionate husband, whose good intelligence enabled him to appreciate her extraordinary worth. In one of the

most chearful situations round the me tropolis, under a gradual decay of her mental and bodily powers, this intellectual ornament of her sex expired in the 62nd year of her age. In person, Mrs. Radcliffe was of diminutive size; and, during the prime of her life, when she mixed in company, her conversation was vivacious, and unalloyed by the pedantic formality, which too often characterizes the manners of literary ladies.

At Friar's-hall, near Melrose, in his 41st year, the right hon. Richard Barré Dunning, 2nd baron of Ashburton, co. Devon. He was youngest but only surviving son of John 1st lord, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Baring, esq. of Larkbear, co. Devon, and was born Sept. 20, 1782. On the death of his father, the celebrated Dunning, Aug. 18, 1783, he (then only eleven months old) succeeded to the title and estates. He married Sept. 17, 1805, Anne, daughter of the late William Cunningham, esq. of Lainshaw, but leaving no issue, the title becomes extinct. His lordship was a kind and steady benefactor to all the poor in the neighbourhood of his romantic seat of Rosehall, and spent annually large sums of money in beautifying and improving his property there, whereby he gave constant employment to all his industrious tenants.

20. At Chelsea, lady Lydia Turnour, daughter of the late earl, and of Ann, countess of Winterton, and granddaughter to Thomas lord Archer.

21. At Hertbury, near Gloucester, in her 47th year, Catherine, lady of Robert Canning, esq. of Hinlip, Worcester; and grand-daughter and co-heiress of the late sir Walter Abingdon Compton, bart.

23. Miss Lucy Burch, only sister of J. R. Burch, esq. of Brandon, Suffolk, late M. P. for Thetford.

24. In George-street, Portman-square, lady Laferey, relict of vice-admiral sir John Laforey, bart.

26. Near Lausanne, J. P. Kemble, esq. in his 66th year. On the 24th, he rose in tolerable health, and went to an adjoining room to speak to Mrs. Kemble; returning to his room, Mrs. Kemble noticed that he tottered in his gait, and assisted him to his chair; Dr. Schole was sent for, who found him exhibiting

very unfavourable symptoms-his left side had suffered a decided attack of apoplexy, and he could with difficulty articulate.

Dr. Schole, with the assistance of his old attached servant George, helped him to his bed, and, in the act of conducting him there, a second attack took place, so suddenly, that his clothes were obliged to be cut asunder, in order that he might the more speedily be let blood. But nature was fast exhausting; nor could he ever make use of his speech, with the exception of a few words which he had uttered on Dr. Schole's arrival. He, however, assented or dissented by signs of the head, until within two hours of his complete extinction. In fine, a third attack, on Wednesday the 26th, just 48 hours after the first, proved fatal. He had imagined that the climate of Italy would prove beneficial to his health; but having arrived in Rome three months before, at an unfavourable season, he became worse and worse, so that the English physician, Dr. Clarke, hurried him away to return to Lausanne, where he had been comparatively well. His occupations were his books and his garden-the latter was his predilection; it was resorted to by him with the first rays of the sun, and kept in a state of cultivation rarely to be surpassed.

He was the eldest son of Mr. Roger Kemble, and was born in 1757, at Prescot, in Lancashire. He received the first part of his education at the Roman Catholic seminary at Sedgeley Park, in Staffordshire, and was afterwards sent to the University of Douay to be qualified for one of the learned professions. Here he soon became distinguished for that talent of elocution, which afterwards raised him to such eminence. Having finished his academical studies, he returned to England, and, preferring the stage to either of the professions for which he had been intended, he performed at Liverpool, York, and Edinburgh. While at York, Mr. Kemble introduced a new species of entertainment, consisting of recitations of some of the Odes of Mason, Collins, and Gray; the tales of Le Fevre and Maria, from Sterne; and other popular pieces in prose and verse. In these he was particularly successful. In Edinburgh he delivered a Lecture, of his own composition, on Sacred and Profane Oratory, which gained him some reputation

among men of letters. He afterwards performed for two years with flattering success in Dublin. Mr. Kemble made his first appearance in London, at Drury-lane Theatre, in the character of Hamlet, Sept. 30, 1783. His reception was most encouraging; but he had not an opportunity of fully developing his powers, till the retirement of Mr. Smith, in 1788, who had been in possession of almost all the principal parts both in tragedy and comedy. On the secession of Mr. King, Mr. Kemble becaine manager of Drury-lane Theatre, which office he filled till 1796. Shortly afterwards he resumed the management, and held it till the conclusion of the season 1800-1. In 1802 Mr. Kemble visited the Continent, for the purpose of introducing to the British stage whatever he might find worthy of adoption in foreign theatres, and spent a twelve-month at Paris and Madrid. On his return he purchased a sixth part of the property of Covent Garden patent, and became manager of that Theatre; which situation he filled till a season or two before his retirement. During his management in London, Mr. Kemble revived several peices of merit, and adapted others to the taste of modern times. He was the author of Belisarius, a tragedy which was acted at Hull in 1778, but never printed; the Female Officer, a farce, acted at York in 1779, not printed; O! it's Impossible! (altered from the Comedy of Errors) a comedy performed at York 1780, but never printed; the Pannel, a farce, taken from Bickerstaff's 'Tis well it's no Worse; the FarmHouse, a comedy; Love in many Masks, a comedy; Lodoiska, a musical romance; Celadon and Florimel, a comedy, not printed. Mr. Kemble also published, about the year 1780, a small collection of verses, under the title of "Fugitive Pieces." They were juvenile productions, and it is said that the very day after their publication, he was so discontented with them when in print, that he destroyed every copy he could procure; some few, however, escaped the general immolation, and one of them, at a sale a few years since, fetched 31. 58.

27. In consequence of a fit of apoplexy with which he was seized while walking in his garden, the preceding Sunday, the rev. Charles Talbot, Dean of Salisbury, youngest son of the late hon, and rev. Dr. Talbot.

His promotion, as post-captain, bears date May 11, 1775; and the following year he was appointed to the Pearl frigate of thirty-two guns, in which vessel he served in America, under the orders of lord Howe; and afterwards in the Perseus frigate, under admiral Arbuthnot. At the reduction of Charlestown, he commanded a detachment of seamen on shore, and received the official praise of general Clinton. On his return from America, captain Elphinstone was appointed to the Warwick of fifty guns, in which vessel he fell in with, and captured, the Rotterdam, a Dutch man-ofwar, of equal force; and some time after, L'Aigle, a French frigate, of forty guns and 600 men. On the commencement of the war with France, in the year 1793, he was appointed to command the Robust of seventy-four guns, one of the squadron under lord Hood, which sailed for the Mediterranean in the month of May. In the arduous and difficult post of governor of Fort la Malgue, and commander of the troops landed at Toulon, captain Elphinstone displayed consummate knowledge of military tacties. When it became unavoidably necessary that Toulon should be evacuated, the care of embarking the artillery, stores, and troops, was committed to captain Elphinstone. some other important services, he was, in 1797, created a baron of the kingdom of Ireland, by the title of lord Keith, and for a short time commanded a deVOL. LXV.

For

tachment of the Channel fleet. In the summer of the following year, he succeeded earl St. Vincent in the command of the fleet in the Mediterranean; and soon after, had the misfortune to lose his ship, the Queen Charlotte, in the Bay of Genoa, by an accidental fire. On the 1st of January, 1801, lord Keith was advanced to be admiral of the blue; he, at this time, commanded the naval force employed against the French on the coast of Egypt. His conduct on this important station, was fully equal to the high promise it had held forth. In 1803, lord Keith commanded on the Downs station; and subsequently the Channel fleet, in 1814. He left a daughter, married to a French general.

21. At the earl of Liverpool's, Whitehall, lieut.-colonel Jenkinson, in his 41st year.

28. Sir Islay Campbell, in the eightyninth year of his age. He was born on the 23rd of August, 1734. He was the eldest son of Archibald Campbell of Succoth, and his mother was the daugh. ter and representative of Wallace of Ellersly, a branch of the family of sir William Wallace. He came to the bar in 1757-was made solicitor-general in 1783-lord advocate in 1784 and was soon after chosen member for the Glasgow district of burghs, which he continued to represent in parliament, taking an active share in all the important transactions of the time, until he was raised to the chair of president of the court of session in 1789. In 1794, he was placed at the head of the commission of oyer and terminer, issued at that disturbed period for the trial of those accused of high treason in Scotland. He continued to hold the situation of president of the court of session for upwards of nineteen years, and resigned his high office in autumn 1808. The faculties of his mind remaining entire, he was afterwards chosen to preside over the two different commissions for inquiring into the state of the courts of law in Scotland.
