APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE. G29 



ter, we shall only add, that he clos- 

 ed an useful life at an advanced 

 age, at his beautiful seat of Cron- 

 roe, where he had long resided in 

 elegant hospitality, ministering to 

 tlie comforts of his surrounding te- 

 nantry, and exhibiting in his public 

 and private conduct, in his studies 

 and in his amusements, a model 

 worthy the imitation of every coun- 

 try gentleman. 



At Philadelphia, on the 9th of 

 February last, aged about 86 years, 

 James Pemberton, esq. of the so- 

 ciety called Quakers ; by which, no 

 less than by the community at 

 large, he was eminently distinguish- 

 ed for the upright discharge of his 

 religious and civil duties. He was 

 long the colleague of Dr. Benja- 

 min Franklin, in representing that 

 (his native) city, in the general le- 

 gislature of Pennsylvania, previous 

 to the revolution; and after it, he 

 succeeded the philosopher as presi- 

 dent of the society, instituted for 

 promoting the interests of the en- 

 slaved Africans ; which, with va- 

 rious other benevolent objects, en- 

 gaged a large proportion of his 

 time, more than half a century. 

 On the 13th, at the interment of 

 his remains, the respect felt for his 

 memory was manifested by a very 

 numerous attendance of his fellow 

 citizens, of all ranks and denomina- 

 tions. His temperament, and regu- 

 lar habits, contributed to preserve, 

 almost to the last, the unimpaired 

 enjoyment of his intellectual facul- 

 ties, with a capacity for exerting 

 them ; and his closing moments 

 evinced the peaceful retrospect of a 

 well-spent life. — '* Mark the per- 

 fect man, and behold the upright ; 

 for the end of that man is peace." 

 Sir Charles Corbett, 51 years a 

 Cili^ccn and Livcry-raau of the Sta- 



tioners' Company, 78. A melan- 

 choly event occurred at his funeral; 

 when his friends were assembled to 

 follow him to his grave, his second 

 son, a young man in the vigour of 

 life, broke a blood-vessel, and fell 

 suddenly a corpse, among the com- 

 pany. The funeral of the father 

 was delayed, and they were both 

 interred in one tomb, in the Church- 

 yard of St. Anne's, Westminster. 

 A subscription has been commenc- 

 ed for the family, who have been 

 deprived of their paternal inherit- 

 ance of 10,000/. per annum, and 

 reduced to such indigence, that the 

 present baronet, although heir to 

 some of the best estates in the 

 kingdom, is in an inferior station in 

 the East India warehouses. 



At Woolwich, in his ^Oth year, 

 Colonel John Harding, of the Roy- 

 al Artillery. At Copenhagen, under 

 Sir Thomas Blomefield, and in the 

 Spanish campaign, under Sir John 

 Moore, where he had the command 

 of the artillery, he proved himself a 

 soldier, '♦ and a ripe and good one." 

 Hestoodhighintheestimationoftvvo 

 successive Masters of the Ordnance, 

 the Earls of Chatham and Moira 

 .—they knew his worth and will la- 

 ment his loss. To his friends he 

 was deservedly endeared, for of 

 him truly may it be said, as it was 

 long ago of a man of eminence in 

 another profession — " He affirmed, 

 and you believed him ; he promis- 

 ed, and you trusted him; you 

 knew him, and you loved him.'' 

 He has left a widow, a son (George 

 Judd), who is a captain in the Roy- 

 al Engineers, and three daughters. 



In Great Cumberland-place, the 

 Most Rev. his Grace the Lord Arch- 

 bishop of Dublin, Primate of Ire- 

 land, Earl of Normanton, &c. &c.
