CHRONICLE. 



483 



Duiham is one of the most aftive), 

 and lor which every preparation had 

 been made at Newcastle ; and must 

 put an entire stop to his great and 

 favourite project of giving a com- 

 plete edition of the New Testament 

 in Greek, which was to contain the 

 various readings collected by JMill, 

 Bengclrus, Wetstein, Griesbach, and 

 Matthac, but also those of more 

 than thirty Greek manuscripts, 

 which he had colle6ted during his 

 residence and travels in the Turkish 

 empire, together with a new and ac- 

 curate collation of the Syriac and 

 other ancient versions. With his 

 dissertation on Irood, and observa- 

 tions made during his tour through 

 Lesser Asia, Syria, and Egypt, 

 the public may hope to be gratified. 

 Dering the short period of his re- 

 sidence at NeM'castle his extrem.e 

 fiuiferings, from a painful and distres- 

 sing malady, have prevented his en- 

 gaging in general intercourse ; but a 

 few friends who had the happiness 

 occasionally to visit him, have seen 

 enough of the extent of his acquire- 

 ments, the vivacity of his conversa- 

 tion, and the ardour of his literary 

 pursuits, to render the unlocked for 

 event of his death a subject of the 

 most sincere regret. 



13th. Found burnt to death, at 

 four o'clock in the morning, lady 

 Glanville, of Manchester-street, wi- 

 dow of sir John G. The chair on 

 which she had been sitting was 

 partly consumed ; but the fire had 

 not communicated to any other part 

 of the room. It is supposed she 

 sat down in the chair for the pur- 

 pose of reading, and sleep over- 

 powering her, that the candle had 

 set fire to her cloaths, and produced 

 the fatal effects. 



14th. In Portugal-street, Gros- 

 vcnoE-square, the wife of major- 

 general Brownrigjr

 long illness, which afl:brded no hop« 

 of recovery, lady Harriet Fitzroy, 

 seventh daughter of the duke and 

 duchess of Grafton.

 castle, aged 56, beloved and respect- 

 ed by all ranks of people who knew 

 him, Edward Carver, esq. lieute^ 

 nant-colonel in the Warwickshire 

 militia. It is but a just tribute to 

 his memory to observe, that the an- 

 nals of private life have seldom re- 

 corded the character of a man more 

 endeared to society by affability of 

 deportment, gentlemanly manners, 

 and universal benevolence. The 

 whole of the military in the neigh- 

 bourhood, regulars, yeomanry, and 

 volunteers, anxious to testify their 

 respedl for his memory, request- 

 ed to attend his faneral ; the offer, 

 however, was handsomely declined 

 by his relatives.

 chester-square, Eleanor viscountess 

 Weiiman, reli6l of the late Philip, 

 seventh viscount Wenman, who 

 died at Bath in 1800, to whom she 

 was married July 7, 1766, fifth 

 daughter of Willoughby earl of 

 Abingdon, and aunt to the present 

 earl. On the 26th, her remains were 

 removed from her house in Hinde- 

 street, for interment, to Thane- 

 park, Oxfordshire, in an elegant 

 coffin covered with velvet, gilt fur- 

 niture and coronet, with a crucifix.
