Vol. LVII. p. 1160. The fuppofed counterfeit token, N 2, a correfpondent informs us, is only a variation iffed from the warehoufe of the real proprietors.

Ibid. Mr. Wilkinson (the iron-founder) is Mrs. Priestley's brother, not her father. The latter died, not affluent, a few years ago.

Vol. LVIII. p. 83, col. 1, 1. 25. The fol-
lowing are the elegant and expreffive lines
written by M.d'Argental two days before his
death, and fent to Mad. de Courteille. Few
poets have written at his time of life (88).
St. Aulair wrote fomething like it when he
[neffe;
was 84 years old:
"Dans mon printems l'amour égara ma jeu-
La plus tendre amitié confola ma vieilleffe;
Courteille, c'eft à vous que je dois ces fecours:
Vous me rendez heureux fur la fin de mes jours.
Je ne vous parle pas de ma reconnaiffance;
Mes raifons pour aimer ont bien plus de puif-
fance.

On s'attache bien plus par fes propres bienfaits;
Ce que je tiens de vous, ne l'oubliez jamais."

P. 154, 1. 8, for "prefent Bifhop of Chefter," r." of London, Dr. Porteus."

P. 180, col. 2, 1.7. The corpfe of the late Charles Stuart, Count of Albany, had scarcely arrived at Frefcati before the coffin wherein the body had been privately depofited at Rome was opened, and found to contain royal robes, with the fceptre, crown, and fword, together with all the infignia diftinguishing the royal house of the Stuarts. The body having been recognised, it was placed in a coffin of cyprus wood, inclofed in one of lead, bearing infcriptions and devices analogous to the rank of the deceased. In the morning of the 3d ult. in the church of Frefcati, which was hung with black, the folemn obfequies were observed, with funeral music by the most celebrated performers of Rome and the Pontifical Chapel. Mais was chanted by his Royal Highness his Eminency, brother to the late Prince; and the four folemn maffes were fuccellively performed by the four firit dignitaries of the Cathedral. To each perfon who attended the funeral, a wax taper, weighing three ounces, was delivered; but thofe diftributed among the clergy were of different weights, according to their refpective ranks. On this occafion a vaît concourfe of people affembled, and particularly of English, almoft every one of whom, refident at Rome, obtained a taper. Soon after this, his remains were removed to the Vatican, and depofited in a decent urn, by the fide of his father and mother.-By his will he has made the Countefs of Albany, his daughter, fole heireis: to the Cardinal York, his brother, he has given zoco ounces of filver: to the Chevalier Stuart, his confidential fecretary, co ducats; with directions to his heiress to continue the relpective apartments to his fervants, in recompence for their faithful fervices, and to give them annuities for their lives, of the value of their wages. To this will is annexed the formal proteft

of the Cardinal, by which he lays claim to the undivided right of the throne of England. - The Court of France have granted the Prince's widow an annual pention of 60,0co livres, to be paid out of the French treafury. And his Holinefs Pius VI. has affigned an annual ftipend of 3000 crowns to the Princess, his fifter, who is to remove from the palace formerly occupied by her deceafed brother, and to refide in a quarter of the palace of the Chancelry.-Cardinal York, with that impotent abfurdity for ever doomed to adhere to the Stuart race, as their laft ftand has (we hear) put forth a formal proteftation that he renounces not his pretenfions to his hereditary realms; that the fanctity of his epifcopal character can be no impediment in the fight of God and man; that he therefore thus afferts his right himfelf; and, when he dies, tranfmits it to the prince next a-kin. All this he fixes as his laft will.

LVII. p. 893), and of a tranflation of the Coran, with a Life of Mahomet, Amít. 1786, 2 vols. 12mo, not yet tranflated. He was preparing a Dictionary and Grammar of the Arabian Language. The fevere remarks of other writers, and particularly Volney, on his Travels, probably haftened his death. He was fcarcely 40 years of age. It has even been infinuated that he never vifited the regions he defcribes. all that Volney says of him is in his Preface; that "he had been anticipated by him, in refpect to Egypt, in a first volume of Letters. He has fince published two others; but, as the field is extenfive and fertile, there ftill remain fome novelties to glean; and, on fubjects already treated, the world may poffibly not be averfe to hear two witneffes." In his fecond chanter he admits that Mr. S. refided two years in Alexandria, though he controverts his argument touching the Nile, and the rife of the Delta.

With a generofity that ranks so high above the meannefs of fordid avarice, it is only within these last few years that he has accumulated the opulent fortune of which he died poffeffed. This gentleman was unmarried, and is the last male representative of an ancient and refpectable family. His grandfather was one of those who, after Monmouth's rebellion, fell a victim to Jefferies's cruelties in the Weft, he having extended his charity to a poor wretch of that party almost starving, for which he was most unjustly tried and condemned. His lady interceded with James for his life, and was introduced to him by the Duke of Marlborough (then Lord Churchill), but without effect; his Majefty faid, he left it to his Lord Chief Justice. Mr. B. was particularly fortunate in the cure of cancers; and, if we mistake not, with him originated the recipe for that complaint, publifhed in our vol.

He was found dead in his bed in the morning, after having been apparently chearful and well the preceding day. It would be a kind of injuftice to his memory and real character, not to record that he was one of those who are justly styled the Excellent of the earth: of him it might be truly faid, through life, as it was of Him whofe religion he profeffed, and to which profeffion he was a real honour, that he went about doing good. Innumerable are the acts of charity and benevolence which he performed, wherever real want appeared: and efpecially in vifiting and comforting the fick, many, very many are the living inftances of his kindness, friendihip, and liberality, in whofe breafts are deeply impreffed the more lafting fenfations of gratitude and esteem, the best monuments to his memory. In him religion thone with all its primitive fimplicity, dignity, and luftre.

They are calculated for fhewing the peculiar talents of the young ladies who were to appear in them; and to fet forth the education, especially in mufic, to which end, improvements they had acquired in their fongs are pretty lavishly difpersed through them all. The defign, on the whole, is example of this fort were to be followed in laudable; and it were to be wifhed that an more of the feminaries of education, both male and female, as these kinds of public exhibition conftantly excite a degree of emuotherwife have lain entirely buried in obfculation, which awakens talents that might rity, and roufes to a greater degree of exertion thofe which have been difcovered."
