At Tetford, near Bofton, fincerely regrettel by all his acquaintance, Mr. Norton, jun. "As thofe we love decay, we die in part; String after frig is fever'd from the heart; Till loofen'd life, at laft but breathing clay, Without one pang is glad to fall away. Unhappy he who latest feels the blow, [low, Whofe eyes have wept o'er every friend laid Dragg d lingering on from partial death to death,

Till, dying, all he can refign is-breath."

29. In Red Lion Paffage, Fleet-ftreet, in her 33d year, Mrs. Martha Nichols, [fecond] wite to the Printer of this Magazine.-She was fafely delivered on the 15th (fee p. 177) of her feventh child; and for three or four fuccealing days was apparently in a good way of recovery, when alarming symptoms of debility (originating from a naturally hectic habit, and accelerated by a fevere fall in an early stage of geftation,) came on fo rapidly as to battle every effort of the ableft medical aftance. She was the daughter of William Green (of the ancient family of that name at Somerby in Leicestershire) and Mary his wife (formerly Mary Iliff, a defcendant from the Cleivelands); was born at Hinckley, January 25, 1756; married there June 11, 1778; and buried at Iflington, March 6, 1788. Two of her fons (Thomas-Cleiveland N. and Charles-Howard N.) fhe had, with an afflicted but unmurmuring heart, refigned to an early grave. One fon and four daughters furvive her; all of them at prefent too young to feel properly their unípeakable lofs. In the hearts of all who had the happinefs of her acquaintance here, her memory will ever be with tendernefs embalmed-If unaffected merit as a woman-if the strictest propriety of conduct in the various relations of daughter, fifter, wife, parent, and (what is ftill more arduous) ftep-mother-if the pureft fentiments and most unaffuming deportment in religion—are earnests of future felicity-in the manfions of the blefled her pure foul, we confidently doubt not, will receive it.

of Market Bofworth: preacher at the Chapel in the Broad-way, Weftminster, January, 1748; the curacy of St. Botolph, Alderfgate, in 1769; and the rectory of St. Margaret, Westminster, on the death of Dr. Tho. Wilfon, in April, 1-84. He was alfo many years in the commiffion of the peace for Derby and Leicefter. In 1737 he published "A Letter to the late Dr. Johnfon, on the Subject of a Future State," which has been frequently mentioned in our last volume.Dr. Johnson and Dr. Taylor had been intimate from their boyith days, and the intimacy continued uninterrupted till the latter's death. Johnfon went first to Pembroke College, Oxford, where Taylor meant to follow him, but was diffuaded by the former from entering into that college by his reprefenting to him the dullness of his tutor, one Jordan, who, Johnfon faid, "fcarcely knew a noun from an adverb." Dr. T. therefore went to Christ Church-He frequently talked of leaving his fortune to Dr. Johnson: and, upon the Doctor's death, of bequeathing it to the Rev. Mr. Hayes; and, as a proof of it, actually put his will into that gentleman's hands, a few days before he retired into Derbyshire. Mr. Hayes, having too much delicacy to infpect it in his prefence, returned it. Since this, he made a new will, and has left his whole fortune to a little boy in his own neighbourhood, of the name of Taylor, about 12 or 14 years old.-The Doctor died worth about (2col. per annum, beside perfonalities to a very confiderable amount. He was remarkable for having the finest breed of mulch cows in Derbyshire, or perhaps in England. He fold one fome time before his death for the fum of 160 guineas, and a heifer for 70 guineas.

To fupply his place, will be a talk of difficulty.-If humanity and good-nature can recommend a man to pofthumous fame, Mr. Webb in a great degree merits it. He was half-brother to the Rev.
