Further Jccount of Governor PownalL [Sept. 1, 



5ear, ^fr. RhhafJ Bond, formerly a printer 

 and bookfeiler cf fome eminence at Gloucel" 

 ter j where fuccefs not attending his exer- 

 tions, he relinqulflied bufinefs ; but left be- 

 hind him a charjiler for integrity which was 

 tecollefled to his advantage through a long 

 life. About thiity years ago he found an afy. 

 lum as a compofit< r in tlie fervice of the 'ate 

 truly learned and refpeftable printer Mr. 

 Bowyer ; and continued, to the laft: hour of 

 his life, able to amufe himfelf with any 

 thing that in the leaft refcmbied work, in 

 the employment of Mr. Nichols. Having 

 had the beneiit of a decent fcholaftic educa- 

 tion, and being naturally of a ferious turn, 

 his inclinations, after his failure in bufinefs, 

 were ftrongly dirciftcd towards the Church ; 

 and a worthy prelate now living would have 

 ordained him, but the want of a regular 

 paflport through one of the llniverfities 

 proved an inl'urmountable barrier. He re- 

 ceived, however, a fubttantial as well as a 

 flatteiinii tcllimony to hit merits, from ihe 

 v/otlhipful Comp.iny of Stationers, by whom, 

 in 1790, he was elefled to an annuity of jcl. 

 bequeathed by Mr. Bowyer to fuch journey- 

 man compofitor as the Company may judge 

 beft qualified in refpcift both to learning and 

 moial charafler. As a writer, Mr. Bond ne- 

 ver ventured to pubhlh beyond a detached 

 eflay or poem. His rhymes were numerous, 

 and if not excellent, were at leaft innocent, 

 Md always good-tempered His manners 

 ■were mll.l and placid, and his habits of life 

 temperate in the extreme.
