 and taught the Roman clafsics and antiquities with great 

 reputation and succefs for more than four and thirty years, 

 resigning his chair as soon as he found himself unequal

 has taught the clafs with much approbation since the 

 year 1775. 



It is not easy in the present flippant and insubordinate

Profefsor Stuart died at Fifherow on Tuesday the 18 

 of June 1793. 



He has left in great forwardnefs for the prefs an im- 

 proved Thesaurus Lingucs Latince. I am Sir your humble
