Deaths Abroad. 



[Jan. 1, 



fon, and many others, the moft eminent for 

 virtue, rank, and talents. Amiii't Co -iiany 

 piitilic duties, Mr. DaUell's applicitiia to 

 private ftudy was indefatigable. The compo- 

 lltion and continual improvement of his lec- 

 tures, with the compilation of his CoUccIanca, 

 Or AraXExra, coft him prodigious pains aud 

 l.ibour. Hiscorrcfpondence with Hcyne and 

 ether men of learning abroad, encroached a 

 good deal upon his hours of leifiirc He has 

 enriched the volumes of the Trai. factions of 

 the Koyal Society of Edinburgh with a va- 

 riety of interelting communicitions in bio- 

 graphy or on fubjects of erudition. He uas 

 the editor of the pofthumous Sermons of his 

 father-in law, the learned and judicious Dr. 

 John Dryfdale. He gave a value to Cheva- 

 lier's Defcription of the Plain of Troy, by 

 tranflating anJ illuftrating it. His applica- 

 tion was, indeed, far too intenfc : but fo very 

 much was liis heart in his ftudies and his 

 official duties, that no tender fuggeftions of 

 Jiis friends, no counfels of his phyficiins, 

 could divert him from them. He was in fta- 

 ture among the tailed of the middle fize ; 

 his complexion was fair; his alpect mild, 

 fweet, and unavoidably intcrelling ; there 

 was peculiar power of injijenuous expreflion in 

 the modelf, almofl: timid, ferenity uf his blue 

 eye ; his features were plump and full, but 

 ■without heavinefs or grolVnefs ; his addrcfs, 

 la accofting a ftranger, or in the general 

 courfe of convcrfa'.ion, was fmgularly grace- 

 ful, captivating, and yet unprefuming. He 

 took little cxercife, but in occafional walks 

 in the King's Park, which was the rural 

 fccne the mod eafily accefiiblc from his veli- 

 dencc in the college. An attic propriety, a 

 golden moJtration, fcemed to pervade all his 

 habits in common life. He was eminently 

 temperate, yet hofiiitable and convivial In 

 the tendcreft connexion of domcftic life he 

 was truly fortunate, having married the eld- 

 eft daughter of the Rev. Dr. John Dryfdale, 

 a lady whofe temper, tafte, good fenfe, ac- 

 eomplifhnients, and turn of manners, were 

 entirely in unifon with his own. She fur- 

 vives, with the children of their marriage, 

 to mourn his premature lofs.
