Biographical Anecdotes of eminent Perfons. P. 181, col. 1, 1. 54. The Rev. Mr. Wynne died Jan. 26. P. 182. An old correfpondent, of whofe favours we are ever proud, fpeaks thus of Mr. Whitehurst, without having feen what we had faid of him :-"In your account of Mr. W. forget not, I charge you, the excellent woman he married; for the deferved every praife. What Dr. Johnfon faid of Mifs Reynolds might, with equal truth, be faidof her;-of all the women I ever knew, fhe was the nearest perfection. To do juftice to the powers of Mr. W's mind, you should point out the difadvantages he laboured under in the article of education, for he was certainly, in a great measure, a self-taught philofopher; you should mention the improve ments he made in the feveral branches of mechanics, which, I have no doubt, were many. I fhall hope to fee an account of what he did to render water-clofets perfectly inoffensive; and I wish, particularly, for a good account of the wonderful fcales he made for the ufe of the Mint. In the "Philofophical Tranfactions" are inferted his "Thermometrical Obfervations at Derby," LVII. 265; “An Account of a Machine for raifing Water, executed at Oulton in Cheshire, in 1772," LXV. 277; 66 Experiments on Ignited Subftances," LXVI. 575. His "Theory of the Earth," and his laft great Work, "An Enquiry into the Formation of the Earth, with an Account of the Strata in Derbyshire," will hand down his name to the lateft pofterity. But that he was ingenious in a high degree is, with me, the least part of his praife. I have, within a few months, loft many valuable friends; but none whom I regret more than Mr. W. The man of candour was not, as is too often the cafe, loft in the felf-importance of the philofopher. He was as willing to communicate, as he was defirous of receiving, information; and he never, upon fuch occafions, affumed the air of a dictator. No one ever exceeded him in probity; and few, that I have known, were in equal degree humane, liberal, and hofpitable. He was happy in himfelf, and he loved to make others happy." P. 269. The following is a more particu lar account of the late Pretender's funeral."The funeral obfequies of the Count of Albany were celebrated Feb. 3, in the Cathedral Church at Frefcati; of which See the Cardinal Duke of York, his brother, is bifhop. The church was hung with black cloth (the feams covered with gold lace), drawn up between the pillars in the form of feftoons, intermixed with gold and filver tiffue, which had a very magnificent and 10lemn effect; efpecially as a profufion of wax tapers were continually burning during the whole of the ceremony, in every part of the church. Over the great door, and the four principal fide altars, there were written in the feftoons (in large characters) the following texts of Scripture, which were chofen by 363 the Cardinal, as allufive to the fituation and fortunes of the deceased: Ecclefiaftes, xlvii. 17; Job. xxix. 5; Tobit, ii. 18; Proverbs, v. 27; 2 Maccab. vi. 3 1. A large catafalque was erected on a platform, raised three steps from the floor, in the nave of the church, on which the coffin, containing the body, was placed, covered with a fuperb pall, on which was embroidered, in feveral places, the royal arms of England. On each fide ftood three gentlemen, fervants of the deceased, in mourning cloaks, each holding a royal banner; and about it were placed a very confiderable number of very large wax tapers, in the form of aquare, guarded by the militia of Frefcati. About ten in the forenoon, the Cardinal was brought into the church in a fedan chair, covered with black cloth, attended by a large fuite of his officers and fervants, in deep mourning. He feated himself on his throne, on the right hand fide of the great altar; and began to fing the office appointed by the church for the dead, aflifted by his choir, which is numerous, and fome of the best voices from Rome. The firft verfe was scarcely finished when it was obferved that his voice faultered, the tears trickled down his cheeks, fo that it was feared he would not have been able to proceed. However, he foon recolle&ted himself, and went through the function in a very affecting manner; in which manly firmnefs, fraternal affection, and religious folemnity, were very happily blended. The magiftrates of Frefcati, and a numerous concourfe of the neighbouring people, attended on this occafion; who were attracted, not fo much by their curiofity, or the purpose of affifting the maffes which were celebrating at every altar in the church, as a defire of teftifying their great reipect for their Bifhop, who conftantly refides among t them, and daily beftows upon them temporal as well as fpiritual bleffings, with a very li beral hand." P. 274, col. 2, 1. 4. Dr. Taylor is called "rector" of St. Margaret, Westminster. "Minifter" would have been a more proper term, that being only a perpetual curacy. P. 277, col. 1. In our vol. XLII. is " A fhort Account of Church Organs, by W. L." [Mr. W. Ludlam.] Ibid. col. 2, 1. 42. The fecond husband of the late Counteis-dowager of Coventry was Edmund Pytts, eiq. of Kyre, co. Worcefter, for which county he was M P.; and furvived his marriage only one year. After his death, her Ladyfhip lived in retirement at her feat in Worcestershire, retaining with her faculties (except that of figh) all thote happy difpofitions for chearfulness and converfation which, to the latest period, rendered her reverenced and beloved by all who had the happiness of being admitted to her apartments or acquaintance. She has left the bulk of her fortune between her nephew and niece, the Rev. Dr. Mafter, late fellow of All Souls College and Mrs. Eliz. Mafter, now refident in Worcester, and defcended from a refpectable family in Lancashire. P. 278, col. 1, 1. 2. The late Dr. Cuming was the youngest furviving fon of James C. an eminent merchant in Edinburgh, and was born in 1714. After a fuitable education in the Ish-fchool of that city, and under the particular tuition of Alex. Moir, formerly profetor of philofophy at Aberdeen, he applied himself to the Rudy of phyfic four years in the University of Edinburgh, and became connected with fome of the most eminent ftudents in that line. In 1725 he fpent nine months at Paris, improving himfelf in anatomy and the French language; and he patted fome time at Leyden the f leaving year; but returned just before the death of his father. An elegant Ode, addrefied to him on his going to France, Aug. 31, 1735, by Mr. S. Boyle, is printed in Nichole's Mifcellany Poems," vol. VI. p. 247; and in the fame volume, p. 328, is "The Vition of Patience, an Allegorical Poem, facred to the Memory of Mr. Alexander Cuming, a young Gentleman unfortunately loft in the Northern Cevan, on his Return from China, 1740."-In 1738 he quitted Edinburgh for London; and while his friends meditated a fettlement for him at Lynne, in the room of the late Sir William Browne, his friend Dr. Fothergill found out a more promifing one for him at Dorchefter, where he rentined to the laft, notwithstand ing the most preifing invitations from his friend Fothergill to fucceed Dr. Rafel in London. In the fpace of a few years after his establishment at Dorchester, he came to be employed in many, and, in process of time, with an exception of three or four at moft, in all the families of diftinction within the county, and frequently in the adjacent At length his chafle manners, his learning, and has probity, as they were more generally known, rendered him not only the physician but the confidential friend of fome of the bett fimilies to which he was introduced. His warm and friendly attention to the interes of the late Mr. Hutchins, author of "The Fiftory of Perlet," in bringing in to light that well-written and well-arranged work, cannot better be expreffed than in the gratefid langu, ge of its author: “One of the gentlemen to whom my acknowledgements are eminently due, permitted part of that Elder brother of the Dodor, and firit fure cargo of the Suecia, a Swedish Eaft India faip, which was wrecked on a rock about two miles Lait of the iiland of North Ronaltha, the ne thermoft of the O kney Islands, Nov. 18, 1740. Immediately on the ship's ftriking, Mr. Cuming went off in the barge, accompanied by the turgeon and fix of the boldet fermen, in order to discover what the island was, but were never more heard of. Thi.ty-one of the faders were faved out of one hundred, the ship's complement, time, which is fo beneficially employed to får better purposes, and is fo precious to a gentleman of his extenfive practice, to be diverted to the work in hand; the publication of which he patronifed and promoted with great zeal and affiduity; nor did his fuccefs fall fhort of his zeal. Without his friendly affiftance, my papers might yet have remained undelivered to the prefs; or, if they had been committed to the publick, would have wanted feveral advantages and embellishments with which they now appear."-The Doctor, we hear, has left his interleaved copy of this work to his fried and coadjutor in its publication. In 1752 he received a diploma from the University of Edinburgh; and was foon after elected a fellow of the Royal College of Phyficians there; and died fenior fellow thereof. He was elected, in 1769, fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London; and, in 1781, of that of Scotland. The tenderness of his eyes was,through life, the greatest misfortune he had to ftruggle with; and, confidering the many obftacles which the complaints in thofe or gans have occafioned in the purfuit of knowledge, it is wonderful how he attained the degree of erudition which he was well known to poflefs. In his retreat from the more bufy purfuits of this world, the forviving companions of his youth continued the friends and correfpondents of his advanced years; and he enjoyed to the laft the fingular fatisfaction of being vifited by the most refpectable perfons in the county for probity, rank, and fortune. We cannot but regret that the Doctor, who has been the means of fo many valuable performances being laid before the publick, and fome of them improved by his pen, had not himself stood forth to give that information for which he was fo well qualified, both in point of claffical learning and elegant compofition.-See memoirs of his life, feveral of his letters, and a portrait of him by Sharp, after Beach, at the end of the fourth edition of Dr. Lettiom's Life of Dr. Fothergill, 1786," 8vo.-The Sherborn Mercy" (March 31) records his death, with this honourable testimony: "He was a phyfician of learning, ftrict integrity, and great humanity, poffetted of a happy turn for enquiry and obfervation, devoted, from an early age, to the faithful difcharge of the duties of his profettion. The death of this excellent man is a misfortune to his friends and neighbours more immediately, to the faculty in general, and to all minking.” .A Marriages of confiderable Perfons. MARRIAGES. 1787.
