you : he then fell into a doze, or 

 stupor.andthenext morning (June 

 4) he expired, with so little pain, 

 that it was scarcely perceived when 

 lie drew his last breath. Great as 

 his loss is to his country and to 

 his friends, it is some consolation 

 that he died in the full maturity 

 of his fame, and has left behind 

 him an imperishable reputation. 

 In 1798 JVIr. Windham married 

 Cecilia, the third daughter of the 

 late commodore Forrest, a lady 

 whose virtues are above all praise, 

 and whose attainments, joined 

 with the most amiable manners 

 and sweetest disposition, rendered 

 her a suitable companion for one 

 of the most distinguished charac- 

 ters of his time. His remains were 

 removed from his house in Pall 

 Mall, June 8, for the family-vault 

 at Felbrigge, attended by his ne- 

 phew, Robert Lukin, esq. and 

 Edward Byng, esq. nephew to 

 Mrs. Windham. 



At Portsea, Mr.James Hay, jun. 

 sculptor, aged twenty-eight. From 

 his earliest days lie was much ac- 

 customed to the study of the natu- 

 ral history and antiquities of his 

 country, in which he acquired a 

 great proficiency, as well asa know- 

 ledge of the learned languages. 

 Being an able draughtsman, and 

 possessing exquisite taste for paint- 

 ing, lie was put under Mr. West; 

 but havinga greaterinclination for 

 sculpture, he was very soon after 

 pupil to Flaxman. Under this dis- 

 tinguished master two years, he 

 made rapid progress in the art, 

 whilst he likewise studied anatomy 

 and physiology under Sheldon, 

 Brookes, &c. Too intense appli- 

 cation to the various branches of 

 science brought on alingering dis- 

 ease, which terminated, by a pre- 



mature death, the life and labours 

 of a rising genius, who would have 

 proved an honour and an ornament 

 to his country. Whilst he was firm 

 in his opinions and lucid in his 

 representations, he always display- 

 ed the mild and amiable features of 

 a mind that believed and felt the 

 doctrines of the religion he pro- 

 fessed. He has left many drawings 

 of the most remarkable antiquities 

 in Hampshire ; and a much greater 

 numberof almost the wholezooiogy 

 of Great Britain, particularly a 

 complete arrangement of all the 

 shells, beautifully drawn and co- 

 loured from nature, which were in- 

 tended for publication.

At Turnham Green, Mr. Ogden, 

 of sporting celebrity ; he was the 

 most quick calculator of the long 

 odds ever known on the turf, and 

 could as readily hedge his bets, 

 when many horses started, so as 

 to secure himself a winner, by 

 which peculiar talent he realized 

 a fortune of 100,000/. 



Mrs. Sarah Anne W^ynne, aged 

 thirty-eight, atHatton, near War- 

 wick, the only remaining daughter 

 of the rev. Dr. Parr. The bril- 

 liancy of her imagery in conversa- 

 tion and writing, the readiness, 

 gaiety, and fertility of her wit, the 

 acuteness of her observations upon 

 men and things, and the variety of 

 her knowledge upon the most fami- 

 liar and most profound subjects, 

 were very extraordinary. They who 

 lived with her in the closest inti- 

 macy were again and again struck 

 with admiration at the rapidity, 

 ease, vivacity, and elegance, of her 

 epistolary compositions. Whether 

 upon lively or serious topics, they
