DEATHS.

intermediate removal to Modbury, vonshire, was finally eftathed in 1787. at Liskeard, where he completed his useful but filent courfe, unknown to all but to a few obfcure individuals, and to that Su preme Being whole favour alone be fo'icitonfly fought, and whofe coufe he seems always always to have zealously pro moted. In the laft Summer, he confid d to an intelligent relation a volume of MS. Poems, with a request that they might be fubmitted to the judgment of fome perfon qual ficd to fcertain their merits, and to determine the question refpecting their fitnets for publication. The MSS. cre fent on this occafion to Dr. Aikin, who was to fenfinle of their value, that he not only gave his immediate voice for their being printed, but also made an offer of his affiftance, unacquainted as he perionally was with the Author, to prepare them for the prefs. No fubfequent delays occurred. From a refpect to the Author's age and broken health, the business of publishing was conducted with all the expedition of which it was fufceptible; but, before it could he accomplished, the poet was removed to that place which human praife cannot reach, or in which it is lighter than "the duft of the balance," or than vanity itleli." (See pp. 155, 158.) 3. At Falmouth, Jamaica, Lieut. Wm. Dickfon, of the 55 h foot.

10. At Altenburg, aged 28, John-Godfrey Frederick Heinigke, M.D. edror of a Medical Journal published at Altenburg with confiderable repâtation.

21. At Port Royal, Jamaica, of the yellow fever, the Hon. Lieut. James Rollo, of his Majesty's fhip Ganges.

Dec... In Edinburgh, in the 58th year of his age, Major William JohnRone, of Methantae, Annandale, a branch of the antiest and honourable family of the Johnstones,Marginraes of Annandale. Major J. entered into the army as enfign, in the 12th regiment of foot, in 1762, and afterwards got into the thirty-first,

1802. GED 63, at Chateaudun, on Spr. 18. the Lone (to which place he went fome months before his death, on account of ill health), P. Rouffel, M. D. su hor of a valuable work, intituled, "Sf teme phyfique et moral de la Femme," publifhed in 8vo, at Paris, 1775. His refidence was at Paris; but he was always averse to practice as a phyficien, and Lad Jong fince given it up entirely. He was a man of fingular diffidence and mildnefs of man--which he joined in the Floridas, and for ner; fond of a Badious, retired life. He was a member of the National Inffitute. Some years before his death he began, and,

is hoped, completed, as a fopplement to the work already mentioned, a treatife intituled "Syfteme phyfique et mora de l'Homme."

Nov. 2. At Litkeard, in Cornwall, the Rev. Henry Moore. He was born at Plymouth, March 30, 1732; educated in the Academy of Dr. Doddrage at Northampton; was elected in 1755 or 1756 Miner to a Dillenting congregation at Dulverton in Somerfeture, and, after an

fome time commanded at Fort Mobile, to which place he had been exprei ly font by that excellent officer Sir Frederick Haidimand, K. B. then commander in chief in North America. In the Caribb war, in 1772, he went with his regiment to St. Vincent's, and was in all the actions which took place in that Iiland. The thirty-first fuffered confiderably, and lost its Lieutenant-colonel (Walth), who commacded the expedition. Soon after, the vegiment returned to Britain. On the commencement of the American war, it -was ordered to Quebec, where it lauded in

May,

May, 1776. The following year Mr. J. pafed the captain-lieutenancy of the regiment. Lord Dorchefter, the commander in chief, in the province of Quebec, appointed him fort-major of St. John's, an office he was well qualified to fill. On the peace of 1783 being figned, the appointment was laid afide. How ever Captain J. remained with his corps till it was ordered to England in 1787. In 1790, he got a company in the 18th or Royal Irish regiment of foot, and foor after went on the half pay lift, but on the breaking out of the late war, he was ap pointed to a company in the eightieth, and a major by brevet in 1794. With that regiment he went to the coaft of France under the command of Major-general Doyle. After the return of the troops employed there, finding a liver complaint which he had contracted while in the Weft Indies, and a deafnels he was fubject to, increafe upon him, he applied for an invalid company and removed into the Royal Garrifou battalion in March, 1796. He joined that corps in Gibraltar, and remained with it till 1798, when it was ordered to England. He was for fome time on duty in Guernsey, where his complaints, from the fevere night-duty the troops were neceffarily employed in, were aggravated to a very great degree, which, combined with water in his cheft, carried him off without a groan, to the great regret of his family and all who knew him. Few people have paffed through life with a more blameless character than Major J. who was an excellent husband and father, a man of the frictest honour and integrity, and a faithfal fervant to his king and country. He has left a widow, and a fon and daughter to lament his lofs. The fun is a major in the 29th regiment; and the daughter is married to Colonel Gray of the 75th regiment, ferving in India. In the memorable night-attack on the Vigée in St. Lucie, in May, 1796, Major J. had the misfortune to lofe his eldest son, then a captain in the 31st regiment, a molt worthy young man, and who gave early fymptoms of proving an ornament to the Brith army. The death of this gallant young officer was felt very feverely by his father. The furviving fon has had his thar of fervice, being with the 29th regiment in the West Indies, and during the late expedition to Holland.

25. At Malmesbury, the Rev. John Marks Moffatt, Proteftant Dillenting Minifter, who has left a widow, and 7 childreu. In his two principal works, "The Doty and Interest of every Private Perlon, and the Kingdom at Large, &c." "The Proteftant's Prayer Book, 1783," every reader may perceive that the principle in bits mind, which was paramount to every GENT. MAG. February, 1803.

other, was a zeal for the glory of his Maker, the caufe of genuine goodnefs, and the best interefts both temporal and eternal of mankind. At the time of his death he was engaged in preparing for the prefs a Hiftory of Malmesbury, which was left almost ready for printing, and is intended to be published for the benefit of his widow and family.

Jan.... In the South of France, in his 28th year, Edward Eftridge, efq.

Mrs. Fenton, wife of Mr. F. tailor and draper, West Smithfield.

Jan I. This night Mr. John Jamieson, of Glasgow, who has refided fome time at Hamburgh as a merchant, being alarmed in his fleep by the beating backward and forward of fome windows, left open in his warehouse, probably by the neglect of fervants, went up ftairs to faften them; but, in attempting it, he was hurled down into the yard, by a fudden guft of wind, from the height of near 100 feet, and dafhed in pieces. His mangled remains were not discovered till morning. He was only 18 years of age; a moft amiable and worthy character, and very deservedly elteemed by an extensive acquaintance.

5. At Touloufe, aged 166, Margaret Clergue, formerly a nun of the convent of St. Claire, in that city. She had been a perfect beauty in her youth. Her hair continued to her death of the finest jetblack, and fcarcely a wrinkle deformed her countenance; but he had been confined to her bed many years, and, for the last two, was totally deaf. Her father, Peter C. was footman to Louis XIV. who ufed to take a great deal of notice of her when the was a child, and oftentimes dandled her on his knees. When he was 12 years old, her father, who was a native of Caftres, took her with him to Toulouse, and placed her as a penfioner in the convent, in which the afterwards, at the age of 20, took the veil.

7. At his feat at Newton Kyme, near Tadenfter, co. York, Robert Fairfax, efq. of the antient and diftinguithed family of that name. It is pleafing to enumerate the many virtues of a character eminent for piety and benevolence. The great foun-'. dation upon which he built all his other, good qualities was religion. Auated by a fervent zeal for the caufe of Christianity," his attendance upon the fervice of the Church was marked by fuch omform regularity, as muft convey a high opinion of the purtry and goodness of his heart. And though the latter years of his life were inbittered by the pans of extreme bad health; yet, even this very rarely prevented his appearance at Church, twice every Sunday. Upon laints days and other holidays he was alio punctual in his attendance; and, by commanding the fanie regularity

gularity in his domefticks, he continued a cuftom for the most part laid afide in country parishes. Far from enthusiasm or bigotry in his principles, they were fuch only as a pious good Chriftian would profefs. He was, moreover, charitable and humane without oftentation. To his te nants he was the best of landlords, and their ren's are a proof of the liberality of his heart. To his cottagers he was a great benefactor, and his generofity relieved them from all the dittreffes which attended the late fcarcity. Had he been dif pofed to raise his eftates, he might have increafed his fortune confiderably, but that was fufficiently ample for all his demands, and his heart recoiled at the idea of infli&t= ing a wound, where happinets principally deperded upon himfeif. He relinquished the world and all its gaiety many years before his death; and living very retired, devoted his time to books and neceffary exercife. And, if a voluntary feclufion from the world, if piety, charity, and benevolence, in an unufu‹ degree, be looked upon as eccentricities, it is becaufe mankind are too much addicted to the pleasures of life to make fo great a facrifice. Although, from having led a fingle life, he had few near relations to lament his lofs, he has left many mournful friends by whom he will not foon be forgotten. He continued till a fhort time before his death to take his ufual exercife on horfeback, whenever his declining health would permit: but on the tit of January he found it neceflary to fend for his relatives; and, his iltnefs gaining falt upon him, this worthy man expired on the morning of the 7th.
