decease in August 1854. But a few months before he died, he was 
promoted to the rank of Major-General. 
General Bush’s character as an officer is thus summed up in a 
periodical,' published shortly after his death, from which we gleaned 
the particulars thus laid before our readers:—“ Although a strict 
disciplinarian and rigid in the enforcement of his orders, yet his 
zeal for the best interests of those under his command, and his en- 
gaging manners, gained their respect and affection. Devoted to 
the service of his country, and having spent nearly his whole life 
in active duty in the four quarters of the globe, being also (in ad- 
dition to his great experience) endowed with a vigorous and culti- 
vated mind, his opinion was sought by the highest military 
authorities, to whom the strict and conscientious discharge of all 
his several duties was well known.” 
Tue Rey. Henry Harvey. 
We close our list of Bradford Worthies with a name which is still 
well known, and which will be long remembered in this Parish. 
He was the second son of George Harvey, Esq. of Hendon, by 
Mary daughter of Thomas Donne, Esq., a descendant of the cele- 
brated Dean of St. Pauls, and a connexion of the poet Cowper. 
Born at Hampstead in the year 1792, in the eighteenth year of his 
age he entered Christ Church, Oxford, where in due time he took 
his degree. At an early period of life he resided for a considerable 
time on the continent, and by this means became familiar with 
European languages, and general history. He was ordained, in 
1818, to the curacy of East Horsley, in Surrey, and, after holding 
two similar appointments in Suffolk, was in the course of a few 
years removed to Ealing. There he was brought under the notice 
of Bishop Howley, (afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury), and by 
him was recommended, in 1825, as Tutor to Prince George of 
Cambridge.- This office he held for six years, residing first at 
Hanover and afterwards at the English court. The Duke of Cam- 
bridge appointed him one of his Chaplains, an office continued to 
him by the present Duke, when, in 1850, he succeeded to the title.
