at the expense of the Master and Fellows, will serve to stimu- 

 late the youth of that Society in the paths of enterprise and 

 science : a bust, executed by Chantrey, at the cost of his literary 

 friends, principally members of the Philosophical Society, at 

 Cambridge, will perpetuate the honour of one of its most distin- 

 guished ornaments and founders : while his collection of mine- 

 rals, fixed by the liberal suffrages of the University within its 

 precincts, will remain an appropriate memorial of the respect 

 paid by that body to their first mineralogical professor. But 

 the best proof of the many excellent qualities of his heart, is the 

 sincere and ready kindness shown towards his family since his 

 death — kindness not less honourable to human nature, than to 

 the individual for whose sake it has been exerted — derived not 

 from the wealthy or the great, by whom it would be lightly felt, 

 but from persons of his own rank and means, and involving 

 sacrifices which nothing but friendship and affection could 

 warrant. 



A memoir, originally intended for publication in the Annals, 

 having been the foundation of Mr. Otter's " Life and Remains 

 of Edward Daniel Clarke, LL.D." the foregoing imperfect sketch 

 of Dr. Clarke's life and labours has been selected from that 

 work, almost entirely in the words of his biographer. A consi- 

 derable proportion of the volume is occupied by Dr. Clarke's 

 journal of his residence at Naples, and of his tour in Scotland; 

 and by his letters to his friends while on his grand journey. 

 These are extremely interesting ; and Mr. Otter's narrative is 

 perspicuous and well written ; the arrangement of the work is 

 altogether excellent : and we recommend it to the possessors of 

 Dr. Clarke's ' Travels,' as an indispensable companion to those 

 volumes. E.W. B.
