 apprenticed to his uncle, the celebrated Dr. Edward Jenner, and 

 being of an inquiring disposition and greatly attached to natural 

 history, assisted him, not only in his professional avocations, 

 but also in his natural-history studies. In tliis way he took a 

 share in the investigation in relation to the Habits of the Cuckoo, 

 published by his uncle in the ' Philosophical Transactions' for 

 1788. He became a Eellow of the Linnean Society in 1799, and

 death in 1827 he became possessed, as residuary legatee, of 

 property little short of a million sterling. In the subsequent 

 year he purchased the estate of Grittleton, to which he has since 

 made large additions, of which Mr. Britton has lately given a par- 

 ticular account. A new mansion, on a scale and of a character fitted 

 to rank with the most magnificent seats in the coimtry, is in -pro- 

 gress of erection; the farm-houses, cottages, and cluirches have been 

 rebuilt, and the whole domain has been placed under a general 

 system of amelioration and improved cultivation. In Parliament, 

 Mr. Neeld was a steady supporter of the Conservative party : he 

 married, in 1831, a sister of the present Earl of Shaftesbury, but 

 having no issue, his great estates devolve iipon his brother John.
