At. St. Alban’s-hall, Oxford, the Rev: 
Thomas Winstanley, v.p. This distin- 
guished scholar spent most of his life in 
college. In 1790 he was elected Cam- 
den’s Professor of Ancient History in the 
University of Oxford; in 1797 he succeed- 
ed to the place of Principal of St. Alban’s- 
hall; and in 1814 was ciosen . Landian 
Professor of Arabic. The only ecclesias- 
tical promotion he obtained was that of 
one of the Prebendaries of _ London, 
which he must have enjoyed many years, 
as he stands next to Dr. Parr. Dr. Win- 
stanley, when he died, was in his 85th year. 
At Gatcombe Park, Gloucestershire; 
60, David Ricardo, esq., M.P. for Portar- 
lington, a gentleman who, at the Stock 
Exchange, in the House of Commons, and 
as a public writer on political economy, 
had acquired considerable celebrity and 
influence. He was bora of Jewish pa- 
rents, but had become a proselyte to the 
Christian religion. His accumulation of 
wealth, and his distinction in life, arose 
from his connection with the loans of the 
late wars against France, of which his 
acute and calculating mind enabled him 
to take the best advantage. His success 
and his knowledge of the funding system 
gave currency to his first publications, and 
when he subsequently entered the leyis- 
lature, his opinions on these subjects 
were listened to by all parties, and par- 
ticularly by those whose thinking powers 
lead them to attach great mystery to 
questions of political economy. Mr. 
Ricardo was, doubtless, a sensible, plau- 
sible, honest, and experienced man; but 
unfortunately he was a mere calculator, 
and one of those economists whose rea- 
sonings would be admirable if applied to 
timber and stones, but which are mis- 
chieyous when applied to sensitive beings, 
and to a state of socicty altogether arti- 
ficial. His favourite maxim was to suffer 
every thing to find its own level, in a 
country where monopoly of every kind are 
upbeld by law, and where he himself was 
protected in the enjoyment of a million 
sterling, while hundreds of industrious 
men were destitute of a week’s capital, 
within a mile of his palace. Such being 
his primary axiom, and such his narrow 
application of it, his theories were mis- 
chievous; yet, as they tended to support 
the strong against the weak, they were 
highly popular among the aristocracy of 
both Houses. He was in consequence 
listened to with attention, and his voice 
and manner being inobtrusive, while he 
treated of abstractions beyond the com- 
prehension of the bulk of his auditory, so 
his conelusions often had more weight 
than they deserved. Nevertheless, he was 
aman of liberal principles, and generally 
voted on the side of liberty and reform ; 
zealously aided Mr. Hume in regard to 
many
