of St. Paul’s {chool, from which em- 
ployment he- had retired near 
. twenty years. He died in the 77th 
year of his age. ‘The mercers 
company had {fo great an opinion 
of his worth, and fo much gratitude 
for his fervices, that they would not 
confent to his refignation, until he 
had named his fucceflor; and they 
fettled upon him,-during his life, 
one hundred guineas a year. ‘The 
Yate Mr. Holbeach, a bachelor of 
large fortune in-Warwickihire, had 
been Mr. Thickneffe’s friend from 
the time he was upon the founda- 
tion at Winchefter; and, when he 
refigned St. Paul’s {cheol, the good 
_old man defired him to retire toa 
wing of his old manfion-houfe, which > 
he had left flanding for that purpofe - 
more than fifty years before. When 
Mr. Thickneffe arrived at this plea- 
fant remnant of hofpitality and 
goodne(fs, fituated in the midit of a 
noble park, he found a good fire 
. burning upon all the hearths in the 
houfe; his binns filled with wines, 
and an annuity upon his table, the - 
-donation of the generous owner: 
but alas! before the revolution 
_ of one year, while Mr. Thickneffe 
and he were at dinner together, the 
ood old man threw his head back 
in his chair, and died without a” 
groan.
