botany was fingularly great. To thefe he 
added a relifh for the elegant and polite 
arts ; and particularly for mufic, in which 
he was eminently fkilled. 
He inherited the bulk of his brother's 
fortune ; and, in the latter part of his life, 
had the degree of Dodlor of Phylic confer- 
red upon him, if I miftake not, by the 
Univerfity of Oxford ; and was admitted a 
member of the College of Phyficians. He 
married Sufanna, the daughter of Richard 
Lockwood,E{q; but died without ifTue, Feb. 
12, 1737, N. S. and was buried in the 
church of Evingtoriy near Leicejier ; where 
his widow eredted a monument to his me- 
mory, of which I infert a copy below 
She furvived him more than four years,
