The Church of England had not a more firm and decided friend, nor true religion a more fincere and confiftent advocate In doctrines he adhered clofely to the Articles of the Church; and, in his general practice as a Chriftian, he was punctual and exact almost to a proverb.

In his perfon he was remarkably well made, active, lively, and, for bodily ftrength, none of his draymen could come near him; yet a complicated illness of fix or eight months, proceeding, probably, from the zeal of extending his bufinefs, broke him down, as it must inevitably do the strongest of the human race.

At Leeds caftle, in Kent, in his 87th year, Robert Lord Fairfax, of Cameron in Scotland. He was the youngest fon of Thomas the fifth Lord Fairfax, whofe great uncle was the memorable General Sir Thomas Fairfax, who conducted the parliament army, in the time of Oliver Cromwell, against Charles the Firft, and who, with General Monk, affitted in re@oring his fon, Charles the Second, to the throne. His father, Thomas, married Catharine, daughter and fle heiress of thomas Lord Col peper, of a very antient -family in the county of Kent, by whom he became poffeffed, in right of his lady, of the manor and castle of Leeds, and other large poffeffions in that county. He died in 1710, leaving three fons and four daughters. Thomas, his eldest fon, then in his 17th year, fucceeded him. Having fome concerns in America, he, many years ago, left his house and property at Leeds-castle to the care of his only furviving brother, Capt. Robert Fairfax, and refided in Virginia, where he died, unmarried, in March 1782, at the very advanced age of 89. His fecond fon was Henry Colepeper, who died at their paternal feat, Denton-caftle, in Yorkshire, unmarried, in the year 1738. This Yorkfhire estate was afterwards fold to Mr. Ib betfon, whofe fon was afterwards Sir Henry Ibbetson, bart.-Robert, the youngest fon, was a major in the horse-guards; and, during his refidence at Harriettham, was elected to parliament for Maidstone, in 1739, again for the fame place in 1747; and in 1754 and 1761 for the county of Kent. In 1741

married, fecondly, Mifs Beft, daughter of Thomas Beft, efq. of Chatham, who died in 1750, leaving no children. His fifters were, Margaret, who married David Wilkins, D. D. dean of Norwich, and prebendary of Canterbury; Frances, who married Denny Martin, efq. of Loofe, near Maidstone, whofe fon, the Rev. Denny Martin, was in ducted to the curacy of Leeds, and the annexed chapelry of Bromfield, Nov. 14, 1760, which, fince the 3d of Elizabeth, has been in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The father of the late Lord had a brother, the Hon. Brian Fairfax, who was commiffoner of the customs, and died in 1750, leaving a large fortune to his nephew, the late Lord. He had also two other brothers, Henry and Barwick, one of whom, we are told, had a fon in the church, to whom the title and eftate defcends. The family of Fairfax is efteemed to be very antient in this kingdom, even before the Norman conquest. And it appears they were poffelled of lands in the county of York near 600 years ago. In the time of Charles the First they were zealous Prefbyterians; and there are not wanting teftimonies to incline us to think that General Fairfax was concerned in the death of that prince. The laft Lord was fond of retirement, and, in the fmall circle of his acquaintance, was much refpected. He had a great thare of natural fimplicity and unaffected benevolence. Whether, from the retirement in which he lived, or from what other cause we know not, the Peerages now printed give a very wrong account of the latter part of the pedigree of this Nobleman; it may be feen more at large in Hafted's History of Kent, 11.477, who has fhewn much accuracy in his genealogies of families.

He fat down to dinner in apparently perfect health; and, after eating itrawberries, and drinking cider, he complained of fickness, which increased fo rapidly as to bathe the skill of the best phyficians. He was an excellent scholar, a man of strong intellect, of a violent difpofition, remarkable for his fortitude and courage, and

particularly well informed in the laws of his country, and the principles of the Constitu tion, for which no man had a greater ree fpect. He was an excellent parliamentary speaker, a powerful reafoner, fpoke correctly, and argued logically. His voice was diftinct, and his manner graceful.
