At Earsham, Joseph Windham, esq. F.R. 
and A.S.5. He was born August 21, 1739, 
at Twickenham, in the house since the resi- 
dence of Richard Owen Cambridge, esq* 
He was educated at Eton School, from which 
he went to Christ’s College, Cambridge, but 
took no degree. He returned from an exten- 
sive tour through France, Italy, Istria, and 
Switzerland, in 1769; and soon after married 
the Hon. Charlotte De Grey, sister to the 
Lord Walsingham; by whom he has left no 
issue. In all which is usually comprehended 
under the denomination of belles lettres, 
Mr. Windham may claini a place among the 
most learned men of his time. To an indee 
fatigable diligence in the pursuit of know- 
ledge, he joined a judgment clear, penetra= 
ting, and unbiassed, and a memory uncom- 
monly retentive and accurate. An ardent 
love for truth, a perfect freedom from pre- 
judice, jealousy, and affectation, an entire 
readiness to impart his varied and copious in- 
formatiow, united with a singular modesty 
and simplicity, marked his conversation and 
manners. Few men had a more critical 
knowledge of the Greek and Latin languiges, 
or a deeper feeling for the beauties of style 
and sentiment in the classic writers; but in 
his minute and comprehensive acquaintance 
with every thing in them illustrative of hu- 
man life and manners, especially all that 
relates to the Fine Arts, he scarcely had an 
equal. He knew not only whatever had been 
delivered by the writers who treat professedly 
on the subject, but had suffered nothing to 
escape him in those who have only inciden- 
tally mentioned facts connected with the his- 
tory of art; and, as it may be asserted with- 
Out exaggeration, that his studies had em-= 
braced every work now extant in the Greek 
and Latin tongues from the #ra of Homer te- 
the fall of Constantinople, his copiousness of 
information can scarcely be imagined but by 
those of his friends, who, by a similarity of 
pursuits, were led to confer with him on 
these subjects. The history of art in the 
middle ages, and every circumstance relative 
to the revival of literature and tlie arts, from 
the fourteenth century to the present time, 
were equally familiar to him} and his ace 
quaintance with the language of modern Italy 
was surpassed by few. He had very particu= 
larly studied the antiquities of his own coun= 
try, and was emineutly. skilled in the history, 
of English architecture. To all that books 
could supply, he added the fruits of extensive 
and accurate observation of every thing wore 
thy notice, as well during the course of his 
travels through France, Italy, Switzerland, 
and Istria, as in hi$ own country. His rs
