MEMOIR OF THE 



Whilst the present number of our Magazine was passing through 

 the press, intelligence was received of the Death of our esteemed 

 associate, the contributor of the foregoing Article.

 place he had been residing for a short time in the hope of benefit 

 to his failing health. 



Mr. Long was born at Benhara-park, Berkshire, on the 28th of 

 July, 1796. He was a grandson of Edward Long, Esq., Judge of 

 the Admiralty Court in Jamaica, and the historian of that island ; 

 being the elder and only surviving son of Charles Beckford Long, 

 Esq., of Langley-hall, Berks., who died in 1836, by Frances 

 Monro, the daughter and heir of Lucius Tucker, Esq., of Norfolk- 

 street, Park-lane. 



He was educated at Harrow School, under the tuition of Dr. 

 Butler, the late Dean of Peterborough ; and at Trinity College, 

 Cambridge, where he gained a Declamation prize, and in 1818 

 won the Chancellor's gold medal for English verse — subject 

 "Rome." He graduated B.A. 1819, M.A. 1822. With Harrow 

 and its concerns he always maintained a friendly relation. He 

 materially assisted the late Dr. Butler in his biographical notes to 

 the Lists of Harrow Scholars, and during the last year we have 

 observed his researches into the history of the founder John Lyon 

 in the columns of the " Harrow Gazette."
