Encyclopædia, to the Supplement to the Encyclopædia Britannica-to the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh-and, latterly, he had bestowed a great portion of his leisure hours in preparing an English translation of Malte Brun's System of Geography, which should be worthy at once of the merits of the original work, and of the notice of the British public. As a friend, a husband, and a father, Dr Dewar was above all eulogy. In him extensive attainments and eminent talents were united with the most amiable dispositions, and the most unpretending modesty. His life was distinguished throughout by so much gentleness, candour, and liberality in his intercourse with others, yet with such perfect independence in holding and acting upon

those views which appeared to his own mind to be correct, that we believe he has not left one enemy behind him, while numerous friends deeply lament his too early removal from among them.

The late James Constable, Esq. who died at Dundee in October 1821, left the reversion of his whole property, as a mortification for the education of boys of the names of Constable and Watson, natives of the town and parish of Dundee. The patronage to be vested in the Provost, Minister of the parish, and Dean of Guild of Dundee. The sum that remains to be applied to this benevolent purpose is found to amount to nearly £.3000.

-At Colinton, the Rev. John Fleming of Craigs, Minister of Colinton, in the 73d year of his age, for many years well known in this city and neighbourhood, and highly esteemed by a numerous circle of friends. Mr Fleming possessed the greatest simplicity of character, and an unaffected plainness and even homeliness of manners, which, joined to an understanding naturally of great vigour, and improved by study and reflec tion, as well as to the most kind and benevolent dispositions, rendered him a peculiarly agreeable companion. He was faithful in the discharge of his parochial duties, and proved a real friend to many of his parishioners, in their temporal as well as their spiritual concerns. In the politics of Eu rope, and more especially of this country, he took a deep interest; on all occasions he embraced with ardour the popular side; and on those topics, which he deemed of the last importance, and into which he entered with a zeal almost approaching to eccentricity, he scorned all qualification or reserve. Yet he was linked to no party, but was ready to praise or to censure, indifferently, measures and not men. He was truly a lover of his country; his patriotism was pure from every selfish bias, and so ardent, that it seemed rather to belong to the primeval ages of republican simplicity than to the present degenerate times. To all his other qualities, Mr Fleming joined an inflexible integrity of character, and the most amiable friendliness of disposition, which was exercised in numerous acts of kindness to all without distinetion who stood in need either of his advice or aid
