12. Charles Burney, Mus. D. 

 in his 88th year. This person, 

 eminent both in the musical pro- 

 fession, and as a literary character, 

 was born at Shrewsbury, and receiv- 

 ed his early education at the public 

 schools of that town and of Chester. 

 In the latter city he began the 

 study of music under the organist 

 of the cathedral, which he after- 

 wards continued at Shrewsbury, 

 under his half-brother, Mr. James 

 Burney, an eminent teacher of 

 music. He then studied under 

 Dr. Arnc in London, and in 1749 



was elected organist to a church in 

 the city. He afterwards took the 

 place of organist at Lynn, where 

 he resided several years, and then 

 returned to the metropolis. In 

 1761 the university of Oxford con- 

 ferred on him the degree of Doctor 

 of Music. In the following year 

 he set out on a musical tour to the 

 Continent, wliich he afterwards 

 repeated ; and being well acquaint- 

 ed with the modern languages, 

 and adapted by his manners for 

 obtaining introduction into the 

 best societj', was enabled to gratify 

 the public by a curious and inte- 

 resting account of the " Present 

 State of Music in Frar.cc, Italy, 

 the Nethei lands, Holland, and 

 Germany," written in the form of 

 a tour, with great vivacity, can- 

 dour, and intelligence. In his 

 tours he collected materials for his 

 principal work, the " General 

 History of Music," 4 vols. 4to. a 

 performance of much labour and 

 research, the first volume of which 

 appeared in 1782. Of these, and 

 his other writings (among which 

 are an account of the commemo- 

 ration of Handel, and a Life of 

 Metastasio), and also of the inci- 

 dents of his life, it is to be hoped 

 that the public will be favoured 

 with a particular narrative from 

 the pen of some of his distinguish- 

 ed literary descendants.
