to his duty. Tho most opulent preferments 

 were frequently confcred on persons utterly 

 unknown to him except by their characters 

 and their literary lahours. The first com- 

 munication that Dr. Palcy ever received 

 from him was the notice of his appoint- 

 ment to the rich rectory of Bishojis AVear- 

 mouth. A few weeks before his death, 

 when one of tlie most valuable of the stalls 

 of Durham became vacant, he availed liim- 

 self of the opportunity to advance at once 

 the three distinguished names of Gisborne, 

 Sumner, and Gilly. He had been long accus- 

 tomed to bestow premiums on such candi- 

 dates as excelled in Greek and Hebrew. 



As a speaker in tiie House of Peers, his 

 lordship was always licard with attention 

 and respect. While Bishop of Llandaff, 



he brought into pcrKamcnt a bill to prevent 

 the offending parties, in cases of adultery, 

 from marrying, but it failed. 



His lordship's bodily constitution was of 

 uncommon firmness. He reached the 

 great age of ninety-two, with rare and 

 light attacks of sickness ; and he died with 

 little bodily suffering, sifter a confinement 

 of five or sL\ weeks, occasioned by a stroke 

 of paralysis. 



His lordship is succeeded in the bishop- 

 rick of Duiham, by Dr. Van. Mildert, who, 

 in the year 1820, was elevated to the See of 

 Llandaff, then vacant by the translation of 

 the llev. Dr. Herbert March to Peter- 

 borough. Dr. Sumner, the king's chaplain 

 at Windsor, has been advanced to the See 

 of Llandaff.
