swas perfeétly skilled in the arts, and 
warmly attached to them ; his me- 
mory was powerful ; and his know- 
ledge of history, memoirs, and to- 
pography, extensive and exact. He 
loved books, and made numerous 
and splendid additions to his father’s 
valuable library. Intruth, the de- 
sign, the decorations, and the con- 
tents, of the library at Lee, as they 
are peculiar, are, in many respects, 
unrivalled. The cabinets too, have, 
amongst their curious ‘contents, the 
exquisite original miniature, by Hol- 
bein, of Anne of Cleves, to which 
the engraved print, among Hou- 
braken’s heads, does much injustice. 
The grounds at Lee, which he de- 
lighted in adorning, possess a cha- 
ra¢ter. congenial to the building. 
‘His polished manners, social habits, 
integrity, charity, and many amiable 
virtues, will long be remembered, 
with regret, by his friends, and the 
neighbourhood in which he resided. 
He died unmarried, and has left 
his estates to his great nephew and 
heir, Thomas Barret Brydges, a mi- 
' por, at Harrow-school, eldest son 
of his niece, by Samuel Egerton 
Bridges, ef Denton, esq. on condi- 
tion of taking his name.

ther to the countess-dowager of 
Macclesfield, whose lord presented 
him to the rectory of Watton, near 
Liverpool, where he died. He was

17th, At her daughter’s house, 
in Upper Brook-street, Grosvenor- 
Square, (the hon. Mrs. Damer,) 
the countess-dowager of Aylesbury. 
20th. At her house, in Albe- 
marle-street, aged 97, Mrs. Levy, 
a rich Jewess: she formerly gave 
fashionable parties ; but, within the 
last seven years, she became a ya- 
letudinarian, and, during the latter 
part of her life, lived in such a 
recluse manner, that even the neigh. 
bours did not know her. Her 
retinue, however, was still retained, 
and the same equipage kept up as 
in her days of splendor. ‘The car- 
riage appeared every day regularly 
at the door, though it was seldom 
used. he last time she appeared 
in public was at Bath; where her 
eccentric appearance and behaviour 
were the topic of conversation 
daily in the pump-room, and other 
places. ‘Though she was usually in 
town during the fashionable scason, 
no one was admitted to see her; 
and the summer was always passed 
at her villa at Richmond, in Surry. 
Mrs. Levy died immensely rich : in 
her banker’s hands, property was 
vested to the amount of 125,0001, 
No will has yet been found, nor 
is it known whether she has any 
relation to inherit her property. 
The funeral took place on the af- 
ternoon of the 2ist, agreeably to 
the ritual of the Hebrew church, 
in the Jewish burying-ground, af 
Mile End. 
At Nice, of a decline, the hon.
