At Reigate, 93, Francis liJaieres, esq. 

 Cnrsitor Baion of tlie Exchequer. jVlr. 

 Maseres, iiis grandfather, was a refiigee, 

 and came to this country vvitli William III. 

 He was a Fellow of Clare-hall, Canibrid«o, 

 and very early displayed preat knowledge 

 of matiiematics. He pulilished, as early 

 as 1759, a work on the neijative sign, in 

 which he argued against the received doc- 

 trine of negative quantities ; and some 

 time afterwards published his valuable 

 collection of the " Scriptores Logarith- 

 mici," in 6 volumes, 410 ; a work on Life 

 Annuities, and several historical works, 

 among which were •' M;iy's History of 

 Parliament,'' and "Luillow's l^ctters.'* 

 As a profotmd mathematician, he had few 

 equals among his contemporaries ; and his 

 fortune enabled him to indulge in printing 

 many works, which, without such aid, 

 could never have been published. He 

 was not less distinguished for the inde- 

 pendence of his political principles: and, 

 in bad tiiucs, he has always been regarded 

 as an inilcxible constitutional lawyer. 



At Richmond, 52, ^Vm. Kerr, Marquis 

 of Lothian, Earl of Ancram, Daron Kerr, 

 and one of the representative peers for 

 Scotland. Since the last election, he was 

 created a peer of the United Kingdom, by 

 the title of Baron Kerr, of Kershengh, in 

 the county of Knxhnrgh. He was also a 

 Knight of the Thistle, Lord Lieut, of the 

 counties of Miil Lothian and Uoxburghe, 

 and Colonel of the EdinburglislureMilitia. 

 In Henrietta-street, Brunswick-square, 

 66, Mr. S. J. Ni'ele, engraver of the Strand, 

 where he has been distinguished in hisjiro- 

 fession during the last forty year?. As a 

 map and vniuu',' engraver, no artist of his 

 time has be^i more extensively employed ; 

 and there iiave been few great under- 

 takings, connected with improved maps, 

 and works of geography and civil engineer- 

 ing, in whicii he has not borne an honour- 

 able part. Nor was the preference which 

 he enjoyed the mere result of skill and 

 industry, but it was equally promoted by 

 Lis moral worth, and by the integrity with 

 which he fnltilled every engagciueiit. A 

 life thus devoted was of course followed 

 by affluence and independence, and by 

 those ciomeslic comforts which arise from 



Deaths in and near London. [June I, 



virtuous example. He was, however, after 

 a short illness, severed from his afBicteJ 

 family and friends ; and has left a blank 

 in the circle of his connections, whicli. 

 cannot, in their time, be re-supplied. 



At Missolonghi, in Greece, 36, George 

 Gordon, Lord Byron, a man who, during 

 the last fifteen years, has excited unceas- 

 ing public interest by his transcendent 

 powers as a poet; l^ the eccentricity of 

 Ills character; and by the bohlness of his 

 opinions and actions. He succeeded to 

 the title and estates on the death of Wil- 

 liam the tifth Lcrd Byron, which took 

 place in 1798, when he was only ten years 

 of age. Up to that period he had lived in 

 Aberdeenshire, and it appears that the 

 wild scenery of the spot in which he passed 

 his early years remained always deeply 

 engraven on his memory. In his first pub- 

 lication, "The Hours of Idleness," there 

 i* a poojn on Lachin y Gair, in which he 

 breaks out thus: — 

 " Yet Caledonia 1 belov'd are Ihy mountains, 



Rpuiid their whte summits tliougli elemenis war, 

 Tliougli cataracts foam 'sleatl of smooth flowing 



fountains, 

 I siffli for I lie valley of dark Locli na Garr . 



" Ah ! there my young footsteps in infancy wan- 

 der'd, 



My cap was the bonnet, my cloak was the plaid ; 

 On cliieuains lung pcrishVi my memory ponder'd ; 



As daily I strode ihrouRh the pine-cover'd glade; 

 I souRhl not my home, till the day's dvin? glory 



Gave place to ilie rays of the bright jioiar star, 

 For fancy was cheer'd by irad:ti<inal story, 



Disclos'd by the natives of dark Loch na Garr." 



— Towards the close of the year 1798, he 

 was removed to Harrow, where, in a note 

 to " Childe Harold," he says, '' I was not 

 a slow though an idle boy ; and I believe 

 110 one could be more attached to Harrow 

 than I have always been, and with rea- 

 son :— a part of the time passed there was 

 the happiest of my life ; and my preceptor 

 (the Rev. Dr. Joseph Drniy) was the best 

 and worthiest friend I ever possessed, 

 whose warnings I have remembered too 

 well, but too iate whon I have erred," 

 &:c. At the age of little more than six- 

 teen, he removed to the University of 

 Cambridge, where he became a student of 

 Trinity College. At the age of nineteen 

 he left the University for Newstead Abbey, 

 and the same year gave to the world his 

 " Honrs of Idleness." On arriving at the 

 age of manhood, Lord Byron embarked at 

 Frtlino'.ith for Lisbon, and from thence 

 proceeded across the Peninsula to the 

 Mediterranean, in company with Mr. 

 Uohhouse. The travels of his lordship are 

 described in '' Childe Harold" and the 

 notes. While the Saliette frigate, in which 

 Lord Byron was a passenger to Constanti- 

 nople, lay in the Dardanelles, a discourse 

 aiose among some of the officers respect- 

 ing the practicability of swimming across 

 the Hellespont. Lord Byron and Lieute- 

 nant Ekenhead agreed to make the trial: 

 they accordmgly attempted this enterprise 

 ot! the Sd of May, 1810, and accomplished 

 it — by one in an hour and five, by the
