At his apartments in the Britith

of his acquaintance the moft poig- 
nant regret for his irreparable lofs, 
His literary produétions have ren- 
dered him peculiarly eminent as 
an annotator, a biographer, an an- 
tiquary, and a poet; and he may be 
defervedly confidered as the orna- 
ment, not only of the univerfity, 
but ofthe literary world at large. 
Such, indeed, was the vigour of his 
mind, the claffical purity of his 
tafte, the extentand che variety of his 
learning, that his memory will be 
for ever revered as a_ profound 
fcholar, and a man of true genius. 
Learning muft deplore him as one 
of her beft and moft valuable or- 
naments. ‘The fame which his 
« Hiftory of Englith Poetry” has- 
obtained will remain an immortal 
ornament
