of Italy. He had been at Pisa, and was 
returning to his villa at Lerici. Mr. Shel- 
ley was the author of “Cenci,” a tragedy ; 
“Queen Mab,” and several minor pieces, 
which prove him to have been a man of 
highly-cultivated genius. His last work 
was “Hellas,” a dramatic poem, called 
forth by the recent events in Greece, in 
which he took the warmest interest, and 
dedicated it to Prince Alexander Maurocor-

Magazine. Besides the ingenious reports 
in this Miscellany, he was the author of 
a work on Consumption, and of another on 
Hypochondriasis, which last has been ex- 
tensively read, and much admired for the 
elegance of its diction and the soundness 
of its views. Dr. Reid was a native of 
Leicester, classically educated at the Dis- 
senting Academies of Daventry and Hack- 
ney, and medically at Edinburgh. He

as agent for proprietor or candidate, 
,Mr. O. was a native of Derbyshire, and, 
since the year 1777, has been connected 
with the various societies for Parliament- 
ary Reform,—the necessity of which no 
man knew better than himself. He rank- 
ed among his friends Sir George Sayville, 
Dr. Jebb, Dr. Wyvil, Granville Sharpe, 
Major Cartwright, J. H. Tooke, and indeed 
all the supporters of civil liberty in his 
time. Happy in a cheerful temper, he was 
still more happy in a fine and prosperous 
family,—two of his sons being settled as 
merchants at Baltimore, and others in pro- 
mising situations.

highly respectable, amiable, and very use- 
ful member of society, will appear in our 
next Number. 
Lately, at an advanced period of life, 
John Siephenson, esq. of Great Ormond- 
street, Bloomsbury. A numerous family, 
and a large circle of friends, sincerely at- 
tached by long esteem and gratitude, have 
by this event suffered a great and irrepara- 
ble loss. His mind, habitnally addicted to 
reflection and philosophical investigation, 
was amply stored with knowledge, and in 
the communication of it to others he was 
not at allreserved. His conversation was 
enlivened with agreeable anecdote ; and, 
from the sources of his extensive reading, 
as well as from his actual acquaintance 
with men and things, he never failed to in- 
struct and delight all who assembled 
around his hospitable board. Mr. S. was 
well versed in natural history, and was a 
good practical chemist. Botany was his 
favourite study ; and, nothing but his un- 
ceasing anxiety to promote the prosperity 
of the various branches of his family, dur- 
ing his latter years, detained him so long in 
the metropolis. Mr. S. was a member of 
his Majesty’s council at Pensacola, West 
Florida, and agent victualler in the years 
1776, 7, and 8, and until the town was 
taken after a brave defence, by Don 
Gulviz, Governor of New Orleans. On 
his return to England he became ulti- 
mately the first partner in the banking- 
house of Stephenson, Remmington, and 
Co, and leaves behind him a respectable 
and amiable family.

Hunter Blair, esq. M.P. after a week’s 
illness. ‘his gentleman was recognized in 
the first circles as an accomplished classical 
scholar; he spoke, with fluency, the 
French, Italian, and German languages, 
and had attained considerable proficiency 
inthe Fine Arts. He was most assiduous 
in the discharge of his parliamentary du- 
ties ; and, as a member of the Agricultural 
Conmnittee, he displayed a thorotigh know- 
ledge of the subject under consideration.
