Many of the Dissenting Ministers who have 

 been resident in Hull have contributed greatly 

 to the promotion of literature in the town ; 

 among these I may mention particularly the 

 names of the late Rev. JOHN BEATSON, and the 

 late Rev. GEORGE LAMBERT ; the Subscription 

 Library had the benefit of their services for 

 many years, on its Committees, and Mr. Beat- 

 son held the office of President of that institu- 



for private circulation only. To this list, which is brought down to the 

 year 1829, Mr. Wrangham has scarcely made any addition ; the latest 

 production of his pen, which has appeared in print, is one of those bril- 

 liant gems of literature, for which the world is occasionally indebted to 

 the leisure hours of the learned. It is an elegant translation into Latin 

 verse, of Rogers's celebrated and justly admired Apostrophe to Italy, and 

 is dated " Cestrise, Nov. 1830."

f The Rev. William Dealtry, D. D., Chancellor of Winchester, and 

 late Professor in the East-India College, Hertford, went from the Gram- 

 mar-School in Hull, to Cambridge, in 1792. He took his degree in 1796, 

 and was the second Wrangler of that year. His letters to the Rev. Dr. 

 Wordsworth, in vindication of the British and Foreign Bible- Society, are 

 justly celebrated ; they are forcibly written, and have passed through 

 several editions. 



$ The Rev. Thomas Reader Gleadow, M. A., late Curate of St. Neots, 

 in Huntingdonshire, and at this time Rector of Frodesley, in Shropshire, 

 was born at Hull, on the 20th August, 1781. Having completed his 

 school education, he served an apprenticeship for some years to a surgeon, 

 in his native place, and afterwards entered himself of Queen's College, 

 Cambridge, with the intention of studying Medicine. He subsequently 

 abandoned this pursuit in favour of Divinity ; and in the year 1804., 

 when he took his degree, his name was placed on the Tripos, in the 

 honourable situation of fourth Wrangler. Mr. Gleadow is not unknown 

 as an author.
