painter to the crown ; the whole, including a 

 pension of 100 a year, which was given him 

 for his works at Kensington, producing 600 a 

 year. In 1743 he had a disorder in his eyes 

 that was thought paralytic, but recovered. 

 But in March, 1748, he had an inflammation 

 both in his bowels and foot, which turned to a 

 general mortification, and put an end to his life 

 at Burlington House, April 12, 1748, in the 

 sixty-fourth year of his age. He was buried in 

 a very handsome manner in Lord Burlington's 

 vault at Chiswick. His fortune, which, with 

 pictures and books, amounted to about ten 

 thousand pounds, he divided between his rela- 

 tions and an actress with whom he had long 

 lived in particular friendship.
