10. The Rev. James Scott, D.D. 

 in his 81st year. He was a native 

 of Leeds, and was educated at 

 Cambridge, where he became a 

 very popular preacher. In 1765, 

 residing in London, and being 

 intimate with Lord .Sandwich and 

 other public characters, he wrote a 

 series of political letters in the 

 Public Advertiser under the signa- 

 ture of Antisejunus, which were 

 very much read, and conferred 

 great temporary fame on their 

 author. He was some time after 

 lecturer at a church in Leeds, 

 where he attracted a numerous 

 audience; and in 1771, through 

 the interest of Lord Sandwich, he 

 obtained the valuable rectory of 

 Simonburn in Northumberland. 

 The neglect of his predecessor in 

 exacting his legal demands was the 

 cause that Dr. Scott was involved 

 in a tedious litigation with his 

 parishioners, which was at length 

 closed on terms favourable to him; 

 but the enmity he had incurred 

 caused him to quit the place, after 

 which he resided partly in London 

 and partly at the house of his 



curate in Yorkshire. Besides his 

 political writings, he published ten 

 occasional sermons, and three 

 Seatonian prize poems. He lived 

 in a hospitable style, was polite in 

 his manners, and agreeable in 

 conversation, and long retained the 

 character of an eloquent and 

 powerful preacher.

 wit, and his intimacy with many 

 of the greatest personages of his 

 time. He possessed estates in five 

 different kingdoms, whose sove- 

 reigns, one after the other, went 

 over to Buonaparte ; hence he 

 once said, " I have never deserted 

 my country, but five countries 

 have deserted me." He observed, 

 shortly before he expired, that he 

 was preparing a new spectacle for 

 the assembled sovereigns, others 

 having been exhausted, that of the 

 funeral of a field marshal ; and in 

 fact his obsequies were celebrated 

 with extraordinary pomp.
