At Glasgow, Professor William Richardson. Having in his early years acquired, in the parochial school of Aberfoyle, a considerable knowledge of the Latin Classics, together with the rudiments of the Greek language, he entered himself a student in the University of Glasgow, in 1758, where he soon distinguished himself by assiduous application to study, by the proficiency which he made in useful knowledge, and by the purity and elegance of his taste. After having finished his course of study, he was nominated as a proper person to discharge the office of Private Tutor to a young Nobleman of great promise, who, since, has proved eminently serviceable to the Country, and whom he accompanied to the capital of the Russian Empire. Having found, in this situation, opportunities the most favourable for enlarging his knowledge of maukind, as well as for promoting his literary improvement, he failed not to profit by them. On a vacancy, therefore, taking place in the Humanity Chair of that University in which he had been educated, Mr. Richardson was appointed, as a person well qualified to fill the important situation; and, for upwards of forty-one years, he performed the duties of his office with honour to himself, and with much advantage to society.

manstone,

manstone, he was not absent from his parochial duties three months; in consequence of which conduct (well worthy of imitation) there was not, at the time of his death, a dissenter in his parish, and scarcely an absenter from the service of the church. He was interred in the family vault at Sydling, on the 24th, the anniversary (seven years since) of the funeral of his late brother Sir John Smith, bart.

Nov. 21. At Primrose-hill, Salisburysquare, in his 75th year, Mr. William Wright, who for 36 years was one of the Common Council of the Ward of Farringdon Without. He had for some time been the Father of St. Bride's parish; and had uniformly been the diligent and active promoter of whatever was beneficial to the true interests of his fellow parishioners. He was not faultless, but his good qualities abundantly preponderated.

Part I. 621. The Hon. Mr. Hoare, and the Hon. Mr. Vansittart, are titles erroneously bestowed. The Ladies of these gentlemen, as daughters of Peers, are properly styled "the Hon." but they cannot convey the title to their mates. G. H. W.

Part II. p. 192. a. Richard Down, esq. was one of the oldest Bankers of the City of London. His correct conduct in early life had so established his character for integrity, that though in 1772 the concealed and fatal speculations of one of his partners at once laid prostrate his early hopes and fortunes, and stripped him of the ample endowment of his wife, he soon emerged from the calamity, and rose to increasing opulence and splendour. In the progress of life, his unwea

ried application to business, accompanied by a temper not easily ruffled, a probity above temptation, and an affability and urbanity peculiar to himself, placed him high in the esteem of the most worthy and elevated classes of London Merchants. His hours of retirement furnished many elegant and useful literary productions, which graced the pages of several periodical works. He brought up a family of nineteen children, twelve of whom are now living to attest and profit by his virtues. His benevolence was not confined to his immediate family; but his bounty to the poor kept an equal pace with his laudable promotion of almost every public charity, in which he generally took a distinguished lead.

Ibid. The Rev. Clement Cottrell was an active Magistrate for the county of Southampton. He was the second surviving son of Rev. C. J. C. of Hadley; and married in 1806, Miss Georgiana Adams, whom he has left with six children to mourn their irreparable loss.

P. 296. b. The late Countess of Glan dore was not mother, but sister, of Mrs. Herbert, of Muckross. The same error has crept into all the public prints. These ladies were both daughters of the late Lord G.Germaine, 1st Visc. Sackville. Her Ladyship died issueless; and the heir presumptive to the barony only, is the Rev. William Crosbie, son of the late Hon. and Rev. Maurice C. dean of Limerick.

P. 302. a. 8th line, for Bishop Dixon' read Bishop Dickson,-vide supra.

Ibid. 12th from end, for born about 1757,' read born 1758, and died in 1794. P. 401. a. 1.4, read son of the late Dr. Cooke.
