In Great Ormond-street, from spasms

Richards, _ In the whole circle of the pro- 
fession, no man stood so high in private 
estimation or public respect as the, late 
Lord Chief Baron, As a lawyer and a 
judge, his decisions, particularly in Exche- 
quer cases, were sound, and evinced con- 
siderable acumen. t 
Society has experienced an irretrievable 
loss, within these few days, in the termi- 
nation of the life and labours of Thomas 
Lord Erskine, after a few, days’ illness, at 
his late brother’s seat, near Edinburgh, in 
the 76th year of his age.’ During the last 
forty-four years his talents and patriotism 
have absorbed so much public attention, as 
to identify his name and actions with the 
times; and we forbear to attempt any 
sketch of his glorious career till our next 
Number, It is sufficient to. observe, that, 
although a lawyer, his life was devoted to 
philanthropy; that, although he had _re- 
ceived favours from the court, they did 
not abstract him from the service of the 
people; and that, although bis professional 
duties obliged him to be a man of business, 
yet he always cultivated elegant literature, 
and exerted his pen on many suitable 
occasions in the cause of truth, His fo- 
rensic eloquence obtained him the name 
of the British Cicero ; and for thirty years 
he was retained io every suit, enjoying a 
degree of unexampled popularity. “Take 
him all in all, we shall never look upon 
his like again.” 
Among other public losses from death, 
we have to record that of a man who was 
singularly gifted in the various branches of 
literature and science, the Rev. Edmund 
Cartwright, D D. F.R.S. F.R.L.S. who died 
at Hastings, in the eighty-first year of. his 
age. (Further particulars of this gentleman 
will be given in our next.) —
