Mr. Cunnington, (whose death is men- 
tioned at p. 194, of this volume,) though 
brought up in the bustle of trade, was ever 
assiduous to acquire knowledge, and possessing 
good natural abilities ; his mind, at an early 
age, took a turn to scientific pursuits. This 
occasioned a sedentary mode of lifg, which 
deranged the nervous system and for the 
last twenty years he becamea victim toa 
debility which nothing but air and exercise 
could prevent from proving fatal. Thus 
called upon to support nature, his daily rides 
and excursions on the Wiltshire Downs led 
him to consider the numerous remains of An- 
tiquity that lie scattered over that interesting 
district + and here it was that the foundatioa 
was laid for that splendid History of Ancient 
Wiltshire, now carrying on by Sir Richard 
Colt Hoare, of Stourhead. With a nobdle- 
ness of mind that stamps the character of the 
baronet, he has thus addressed Mr. Cunning- 
ton, in the first part of his work, pvefixed to 
which is an excellent portrait ot him; ‘* Men 
illustrious either for their noble birth, conspi- 
cuous character, or distinguished literary abi- 
licies, have in general engrossed the homage 
of dedications; but on the present occasion I 
shall deviate from this long established cus. 
tom, and gratify my private fealings by paying 
a tribute that is due to justice and friendship. 
To vou, therefore, Sir, who first projected 
the plan of this history, and by your incerest- 
ing collections, and important discoveries, 
encouraged me to pursue it, this work is 
most gratefully dedicated.” Mr. Cunnington 
in this pursuit had procured a collection of 
British antiquities that were not, and perhaps 
never will be, surpassed by any in the king- 
dom; and, when this subject was somewhat 
exhausted, his mind led him to that of Mi- 
nerals and extraneous Fossils, of which he 
had procured a beautiful and interesting col- 
lection. The ready access that was given to 
view his cabinets, and the pleasure he always 
experienced in affording information, drew 
many virtuosi to his house, where they were 
Berks—Somerset.

no less charmed with the Museum, than 
they were with the arfabflity of the possessor. 
In his domestic character he was all that 
could call forth ¢*the fond parental soul 5” 
and in the havpy circle round his fire-side, 
he diffused among his young auditors those 
precepts of virtue, those principles of know- 
ledge, and those maxims of men and manners 
that will ever remain on the minds of those 
who heard them. Here also it was, that 
parental affection saw the rising virtues of the 
child—here were implanted those se¢ds that 
bloomed around the parens stock—and heré 
religion instructed.the infant mind to look 
through Nature up to Nature’s God. He died 
in his 57th year 5 and his death was of that 
nature so calm and pure, which the good 
man hails as his veal existence.
