Died] At Bath, in the Abbey Church- 

 yard, ti5, Mr. William Meyler, bookseller, 

 and joint proprietor and editor of The 

 Bath Herald, of which he had been the 

 principal conductor from its first establish- 

 ment in 1792. No person will be more 

 deeply regretted, or his loss more severely 

 felt than that of Mr. Meyler. Considerate, 

 kind, and compassionate, he was ever 

 ready to render his best services to those 

 ■who needed them ; and most of the candi- 

 dates for public fame, who have from time 

 to time visited Bath, have experienced his 

 fostering protection. A residence for half 

 a century in this city, commenced in the 

 infancy of its prosperity, procured him an 

 acquaintance with most of the literary and 

 scientific characters of his day ; and the 

 suavity of his manners, and his known 

 Roodness of heart, deservedly endeared 

 him to all who had an opportunity of fairly 

 estimating his character; whilst the re- 

 spect in which he was held, obtained for 

 him a civic gown among the Body Cor- 

 porate, at a time when that Body was al- 

 most exclusively composed of gentlemen of 



the Medical Profession. Mr. Meyler's pre- 

 tensions to literature were of no ordinary 

 class; and the public have often been fa- 

 voured with the productions of his pen boih 

 in poetry and prose. As a critic, his judg- 

 ment was not seldom referred to by the 

 lovers of the Drama ; but the kindness of 

 his heart frequently softened the severity 

 of criticism into admonition and advice. 

 As a man, he was upright, humane, and 

 just; as a husband and a father, he pos- 

 sessed every conjugal and paternal virtue 

 in an eminent degree ; and as a citizen and 

 subject, his loyalty and his attachment to 

 his country were deep-rooted and unquali- 

 fied. ' Mr. Meyler for many years was a 

 victim to the gout, which, from the se- 

 verity of its incessant attacks, deprived 

 his bed of rest by night, and his couch of 

 comfort by day, but could not ruffle the 

 urbanity of his temper, nor abridge the 

 practical humanity of his disposition. We 

 copy the preceding paragraph from The 

 Bath Herald, but as a personal friend of 

 the deceased, the Editor subjoins his testi- 

 mony of the truth of the eulogium, having 

 himself often benefitted by Mr. Meyler's 

 urbanity, and being impressed with the con- 

 viction that a more worthy man did not 

 live in his time. Generally speaking the 

 proprietors of provincial papers are the 

 most useful and intelligent persons in their 

 districts, and of the entire class Mr. Meyler 

 has for many years ranked as one of the 

 most able and estimable. His paper was 

 always distinguished for good writing and 

 good taste, and those qualities recoratiiend- 

 ed it to the patronage of many families 

 in distant parts of the empire. It has also 

 been often distinguished for priority of 

 news, and for much information on subjects 

 of temporary interest resulting from the 

 active intelligence of its conductor.
