CHRONICLE. 



169 



for Derby, aged 28. He was the 

 eldest son of Lord George Henry 

 Cavendish, and cousin to the Duke 

 of Devonshire. The cause of his 

 death was an overturn from his 

 curricleinHolker-park, Lancashire, 

 as he was returning from ashooting 

 excursion : he pitched on his head, 

 and never spoke more. He mar- 

 ried the eldest daughter of Lord 

 Lismore, by whom he has left three 

 or four children. 



16. Mrs. Willes, aged 71, niece 

 to Dr. Wilcocks, Bp. of Rochester. 



18. Mrs Lindsey, aged 7^, re- 

 lict of the late Rev. Theophilus 

 Lindsey : a lady distinguished for 

 strong sense, firmness, and cultiva- 

 tion of mind, and the worthy 

 partner in all fortunes of her excel- 

 lent husband. 



19. At the storming of Ciudad 

 Rodrigo, Major-Gen. M' Kinnon. 

 He was decended from an ancient 

 family in Scotland, and entered at 

 an early age in the Coldstream regi- 

 ment of guards. He first served 

 imder the Duke of York in Hol- 

 land. At the rebellion in Ireland 

 he was brigade major to General 

 Sir G. Nugent, and distinguished 

 himself equally by his courage and 

 humanity. He was in the expedi- 

 tion in Egypt ; in Germany with 

 Lord Cathcart ; and at the taking 

 of Copenhagen. Li 1808, he em- 

 barked for the Peninsula, and fought 

 with great reputation under Lord 

 Wellington. He was married to 

 the youngest daughter of the late 

 Sir J. Colt, bart. 



20. Mrs. Jeblf, widow of the 

 late John Jebb, M. D. aged 77. 

 This lady was the daughter of the 

 Rev. Jas. Torkington, and of lady 

 Dorothy Sherard, daughter of the 

 Earl of Harborough. She was 

 married, in 1764-, to Dr. Jebb, 



then resident in Cambridge, and 

 engaged in various controversies 

 and reforming plans which have 

 rendered his name celebrated. Mrs. 

 Jebb entered with great spirit and 

 intelligence into all her husband's 

 views, and even took up the pen 

 in their support. She was parti- 

 cularly the assailant of Dr. Powell, 

 master of St. John's college, the 

 chief academical adversary of Dr. 

 Jebb ; and it was on occasion of a 

 pamphlet against him, under the 

 signatureof'Priscilia, that Dr. Paley 

 said, " The Lord had sold Sisera 

 into the hands of a woman.'* 

 When Dr. Jebb removed to Lon- 

 don, and adopted the medical pro- 

 fession, his wife was not in the 

 least behind him in the patriotic 

 zeal by which he was animated. 

 Parliamentary reform, and all those 

 principles of government which 

 characterise the warm friends of 

 liberty, wereever objects the nearest 

 her heart, nor did age and infir- 

 mities make any abatement of her 

 political ardour. Yet with this 

 eainestnessof disposition sheunited 

 all the amiable softness of the 

 female character, and was not less 

 estimable for the qualities of the 

 heart than for those of the under- 

 standing. Her frame was so slight 

 and feeble, whilst her manner was 

 so animated, that she seemed rather 

 soul than body ; and it was a 

 wonder that the frail tenement of 

 clay could so long harbour a mind 

 of such activity. 



21. At Bath, in his SOlh'year, 

 Edward Fisher, esq. late of Hen- 

 bury, Gloucestershire, whose time, 

 and a considerable part of his for- 

 tune, from an early period, were 

 spent in acts of benevolence. 



24'. In consequence of wounds 

 received at the storming of Ciudad 



Rodrigo,
