KIP'PIS (Andrew), a learned and eminent Englifii

both by the father’s and mother’s fide from eje&ed minif- 
ters, and born at Nottingham on the 28th of March, 
1725. The death of his father, when he w3s about five 
years of age, occalioned his removal to his paternal grand¬ 
father’s, at Sleaford in Lincolnlhire. In this town he re¬ 
ceived his education in grammar-learning, and early exhi¬ 
bited fuch proofs of abilities and proficiency as attracted 
the peculiar notice of Mr. Merrivale, who was pallor of a 
congregation of diffenters at that place. It was probably 
owing to this connection with Mr. Merrivale, as well as 
to his advice and encouragement, that young Kippis di¬ 
rected his views to the profeffion of a diffenting minifter, 
and to thofe literary ltudies in which he afterwards fo 
much excelled. In the year 1741, he was placed in the 
academy at Northampton, under the care of Dr. Dodd¬ 
ridge ; afeminary which at that time was in a very highftate 
of reputation and profperity, and which fupplied the pul¬ 
pits ofthe diffenters with a number of minifters, equally ac¬ 
ceptable and ufeful in their profefiional characters, and dif-
