The Kcv. James Lambert, htiiior 

 fellow of Trinity College, (^uinbiidgc, 

 whose decease was not iced in Our last, 

 wan the sou of tiic Kcv. Thuiiiu» Lambert, 



then vicar of Thorpe near Harwich, ami 

 rector of Melton, near Woodbridgo, Suf- 

 folk, and was also a member of the Zodiac 

 Club at Cambridge, in which the most 

 eminent literary names of that day were 

 enrolled ; and was not less remarkable 

 for his attainments, than for the polished 

 uibaniiy of his manners. His son James 

 received the rudiments of his education at 

 the Grammar School at Cambridge, under 

 Mr. Ray, till he was about tifteen years 

 of age, when his father superintended it 

 till he went to College; into which he was 

 admitted in the year i760. In the year 

 1763 ho became a scholar on the founda- 

 tion ; in 1764 he obtained the Chancellor's 

 gold medal for cla.ssical attainments, ta- 

 king his first degree in the same year; 

 when he was fifili or sixth on the first Tri- 

 pos, or what is generally called fifth or sixth 

 Wrangler. In the year 1765, he was 

 elected Fellow of Trinity College, having 

 about that time been ordained, and be- 

 coming officiating curate of Bawdsey and 

 •Alderton, near Woodbridiie. In 1767 he 

 took the degree of Master of Arts; and 

 1770, he became a resident and assistant 

 tutor in Trinity College. In 1771 he was 

 elected Greek Professor. About this time 

 the great question was agitated for the 

 relief of the Clerjiy, in the matter of siib- 

 scrip.tion to the Thirty-nine Articles, and it 

 was greatly supported by many of the 

 most dislinffuisiied members of the Uni- 

 versity of Cambridge; among them Mr. 

 Lambert was by no means the least 

 active. In 1772 he received a proposal 

 to accompany Prince Poniatowski to 

 Poland ; which he declined ; in 1773 he 

 formed the resolution not to accept any 

 clerical preferment ; in which he persisted 

 to his death, having repeatedly passed by ' 

 the best livings in the gift of the College, 

 which in succession were oft'ered to him. 

 In 1774 the University was much occu- 

 pied with the resolutions then proposed 

 by Mr. Jebb, for annual examinations ; 

 of which Mr. Lambert was a strenuous 

 supporter ; and he was named one of the 

 Syndicate, or Committee to establii-h a plan 

 to unite j)olislied liteiatiire with the ac- 

 customed mathematical and philosophical 

 studiiis of the place. In this attempt he 

 had, among other eminent men, fur his 

 intended colleagues, Watson, afterwards 

 Bishop of Landafi"; Hallifax, successively 

 Bishop of Gloucester and St. Asaph ; Hey, 

 aftei wards Morrisian Professor of Divinity, 

 and author of "Lectures on the Thirty-nine 

 Articles ;" Fanner, well known ^among 

 Sliakspeare critics and l)Ook collectors ; 

 Paley ; Tyrwhiti, the well-known Unita- 

 rian, who shewed his zeal fur the Univer- 

 sity, by leaving at his death 40001. for the 

 encouragement of Hebrew literature ; 

 Peiiree, afterward Master ot Jesus College, 

 and Dean ol Ely. The collcajjncs, how-
