LX. p. 237-He was a moft indulgent parent, a kind relation, a fteady friend, and a good man. His urbanity of manners, chearful good humour, and conviviality of difpofition, will long be remembored with regret by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance; while his inflexible integrity, and uniformly independent conduct in the Houfe of Peers, will be recorded to the lateft pofterity, and may ferve as a bright example to all who follow him. During the conteft relative to the Middlefex election, and at that period of the unfortunate American war when party ran highest, he resisted the most flattering offers of honours and emo Jument from those in power; and when the Late Regency was in agitation he offered his fervices to the Prince of Wales, telling his Royal Highness that he would accept any office in his household, provided there was no falary annexed to it. He is fucceeded in his title and vaft estates by his eldest son, William, born Sept. 1, 1770, and recently come of age.

This extraordinary person, whose skill in the mathematicks aftonished all who knew him, was a fervant at a little farm-house at the age of 23, and ignorant of the rules of common arithmetick; but, after learning these from the children that were taught on an evening, he foon made himself master of Euclid's elements, algebra, and fluxions, and could multiply together any number of figures, under 9, by mere ftrength of memory.

The unfortunate accident which occasioned his death is very singular. After handing handing Lady H. and her fifter into her postchaife, to go to attend the Aberdeen races, which commenced next day, his Lordship had just mounted his horfe, and in leaning forward, the animal ftruck him a violent blow with his head on the cheft, which ftunned him so much that he fell. His groom immediately ran to his affistance, and in a .few minutes he was fo far recovered as to be able again to mount his horse with apparent eafe; but before he had proceeded a few yards, the fervant perceived him to be feized with a fudden giddinefs, and he fell to the ground motionlefs. The bursting of a blood-veffel is supposed to have been the immediate caufe of his death. He was much refpected by his friends, and has left a widow and large family feverely to lament the irreparable lofs they have fuftained. He was the only fon and heir of the Earl of Aberdeen, to whom Lord Haddo's eldest fon, a child of five years old, is now the heir-apparent.

In Frith-ftreet, Soho, Mr. John Rogers, furgeon, fon of Mr. R. furgeon at Nottingham. At Thorp-Lee-houfe, in Surrey, fincerely regretted by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance, Jeremiah Waring, efq. one of the people called Quakers.-In thofe virtues which alone can confer true nobility, none were fuperior; in mental endowments, few were his equals: yet, though fo eminently gifted, modefty and diffidence were diftinguished traits in his character; and it may be justly faid, he "was cloathed with humility" as a garment. The tenor of his life, from early youth to the closing hour, afforded a thining example of the "beauty of holiness;" dedicating the talents he had received to the honour and fervice of HIM who gave them. His piety was fervent, devoid of all fuperftition, and evidently that of an enlarged and liberal mind. A tenderly affection te parent; a kind and generous mafter; a warm and faithful friend; to the poor a charitable benefactor; delighting in acts of mercy; alleviating the forrows of the widow; wiping away the tears of the fatherlefs; and ever zealous in the promotion of good works. He attained the languors of ficknefs and pin with exemplary patience and resignation; and, in the 76th year of his age, caim, peaceful, and without a figh, quitted this tranfitory fcene, with a certain affurance of a bleffed and glorious admission into that reft prepared for the righteous. 3. At his houfe in King-ftreet, St. James's, in his 82d year, Robert Herries, efq. of Halldyke, formerly partner in the banking-house of his nephew, Sir Rob. H. of London. He is fucceeded in his landed estate in Scotland by his only fon, of the fame name. At Fulham, Mifs Beata Willyams. This truly amiable young lady had, for a confiderable time before her death, borne a most severe and painful illness with pious refignation to the will of God; her principal care seemed for those dear relations whe furrounded her; the thoughts of parting from them would fometimes bring tears into her eyes, which her own fufferings hardly ever did. Her remains were depofited in a vault built for the purpofe in the church-yard at Fulham, next to the tomb of the late excellent Bishop Lowth, which spot the herself had fixed on. Her elegant and engaging manners, joined to musical talents, and a voice of a fuperior degree of excellence, particularly in facred mufick, rendered her, while living, the delight of a large circle of friends, and, at her death, an irreparable lofs to her afflicted family. She was the youngest daughter of the late John W. efq. of Plaistow shoufe, Effex, and a commander in the royal navy; and, on her mother's fide, the was defcended from the antient families of Goodere and Dinely, of Charlton, co. Worcester. Mrs. Sapfard, wife of Mr. S. carpenter, of Enfield. At Crailing-house, in Scotland, Lady Caroline Hunter. 4. After a long illness, Mr. Lomas, fen. of Chatham.

As he was walking in Long-Acre, about twelve o'clock, he fuddenly fell down in a fit, and inftantly expired. The body was taken into a houfe, and a phyfician immedi ately attended; but his endeavours to restore him proved ineffectual. His fervant, who was fortunately with him, fecured his watch and money; but fome unfeeling wretch, availing himself of the confusion, stole the ring from off his finger. In Brompton-row, Mrs, Grymes, wife of Major G. and daughter of the late John Randolph, efq. At Bath, where he went for the recovery of his health, in his 54th year, Jas.

Huntingdon, and niece of the Earl of Harborough. Mr. John Rawlinfon, of Red-lion-street, Clerkenwell. At Oxford, in his 71st year, univerfally lamented, Sir Richard 'Tawney, knt. fenior alderman and father of that antient city; over which he prefided three times in the important office of mayor, with dignity to himself and benefit to the publick, His conduct as a magiftrate, in the impartial diftribution of justice to the poor as well as the rich, in unwearied attention to, and watchful concern for, every thing that tended either to the honour or profperity of the corporation, will ever endear his memory to all good citizens; and his conduct will be long looked up to by all the members of that respectable body as a perfect example for their imitation. His office of mayor and his life closed within a few days of each other; and it has been much regretted by his friends, that a confcientious perfeverance in the discharge of the important truft committed to him prevented him from going to the fea-fide, which, under the bleffing of Providence, might have helped to fuftain a declining conftitution, and enabled him to have spun out, for fome time longer, a life fo truly valuable to fociety. He was a zealous and steady friend to our prefent happy establishment in church and ftate; and the author of this little sketch of his life has often heard him exclaim, with great ardour, how thankful he and every Englishman ought to be, that Providence had placed them under fo wife and happy a government. In private life he was a chearful companion; and his friends, who were both refpectable and numerous, ever found at his houfe a generous and cordial welcome. In a word, his manners, habits, fentiments, and ftyle of living, ferved to convey a juft idea of a plain, honeft, hofpitable Englishman; a character which, however eftimable, is, we fear, in the prefent day, almost become extinct. From great attention and induftry in a refpect able and extenfive line of bufinefs, as a public brewer, he acquired a very ample fortune, which he has bequeathed (a few legacies excepted) to his only furviving brother, Edward Tawney, efq. fenior alderman, and now father of the city.. 6.

The whole of her own fortune, and fome part of Lord Glafgow's, were fettled upon her as a jointure; fo that the prefent Earl will find his income confiderably increafed by her decease. She was poffeffed of her large fortune as heiress to a large eftate. Her Ladyship was alfo poffeffed of every quality that can endear her memory; her friendship was as wide as the circle of her acquaintance, and her beneficence as unwearied as its objects were numerous. She was the laft reprefentative of the antient family of Rofs, of Halkhead, in Renfrewshire, who have enjoyed those lands ever fince the year 1100. One of her Ladyfhip's ancestors, Walter de Rofs, was killed at Bannockburn; and, at that time, there were many very confiderable men of that name. An heiress brought the estate of Melvil, in Mid Lothian, into the family about 1100, which they held until the late Lord's death. The first Lord Rofs accompanied James IV. to the field of Flowden, where he loft his life. James Lord Rofs fat on the trial of the Earl of Bothwell for being concerned in the murder of Lord Darnley.
