 tor of Elt-don, Northumberland, 

 and historiographer to his Majesty, 

 aged 83. Mr. Dutens was born 

 in France of a respectable Protest- 

 ant family. In his memoirs he 

 has given an account of the inci- 

 dents of his youth, much in the 

 style of a novel, from which it 

 appears that he early displayed the 

 quick parts and sentimental suscep- 

 tibility common among his coun- 

 trymen. He came over to Eng- 

 land, and for some time acted as a 

 private tutor : but in 1758 he ob- 

 tained the appointment of chaplain 

 and secretary to the Hon. Stuart 

 Mackenzie, envoy-extraordinary to 

 the court of Turin. He was thus 

 initiated into public life, and was 

 instrumental in bringing about the 

 peace of Paris, for his services in 

 which he obtained a pension. He 

 afterwards returned as charge d'af- 

 faires to Turin, where he passed 

 two years, and published an edition 

 of Leibnitz, and composed a work 

 in French, in which he claimed for 

 the ancients most of the discoveries 

 in science attributed to the mo- 

 derns. He then became attached 

 to the family of the Duke of Nor- 

 thumberland, and made a long 

 tour with Lord Algernon Percy. 

 He had previously received from 

 the Duke a presentation to the 

 rich living of Elsdon. He after- 

 wards spent many years partly 

 abroad, partly in England, and 

 much in the company of the great ; 

 and havirg obtained a considerable 

 legacy from Mr. Mackenzie, he 

 passed the latter part of his life in 



literary retirement and social inter- 

 course. He was the author of 

 some other works in the French 

 language, the last of which was a 

 learned inquiry into the use of 

 vaults among the ancients.
