NOTE RESPECTING THE LATE MR. RICH. 
premature decease. Mr. Rich, having returned to Bagdad, left 
that insalubrious city again in May 1821, on a journey towards 
the east, accompanied by Mrs. Rich ; but as the Summer ad¬ 
vanced, she was obliged to quit him on account of her health, 
for India; and at Bushire they separated. This friend of all 
who had ever approached him, was then in a manner alone; 
and on the fifth of October in the same year, having been 
attacked by the cholera morbus, he breathed his last in the city 
of Shiraz. The loss to domestic affection, and to friendship, is 
irremediable ; but some compensation may yet be made to the 
world at large, if the learned person, his near kinsman, into 
whose hands doubtless Mr. Rich’s literary papers must fall, will 
in due time give them to the public.
