to the amount of five-and-forty car-

Thus ends all that is earthly and 
perishable of this great man, who 
was a promoter of science, not more 
by his works and Jectures than by 
his beneficence and goodness of 
heart, which made him a valuable 
member of society. His name will 
long live an’ honour to his country.

press, in the name of the family 
and executors, their grateful thanks
