ties of Cobbett, Part I.—In referring to this lalt pamph¬ 
let, we are led to remark, that Mr. Cobbett has lately 
changed his opinions upon the fubjeft of Paine’s life and 
converfation ; for, upon his late return from America, he 
brought with him a box of bones, which he Rates to be 
thofe of Thomas Paine, and over which he propofes to 
ereft an honorary monument in this country, when the 
people of this country fhall have furnifhed him with the 
money he deems fufficient for that purpofe. Many per- 
fons queftion the identity of the bones ; we do not: but 
we (hall quote one more paragraph from the Beauties of 
Cobbett, which indeed we take to be one of the chief of 
his beauties: “People fhould always endeavour to be 
cunjijlent, at lead: when interell does not interfere.” Beau¬ 
ties, Part III.

PA'INSWICK, a fmall market-town, in the county of 
Gloucefter, is feated on the fouthern declivity of Spone- 
bed-hill, at the diftanceof fix miles fouth-fouth-eafl from 
the city of Gloucefter, and 101 miles weft-by-north from 
London. It is a town of confiderable antiquity, being 
mentioned in Dotnefday-book under the name of Wiche. 
The manor then belonged to Roger de Lacy, who, joining 
in the rebellion excited by Robert Curthofe againft his 
father, w r as deprived of all his pofleffions. On this event 
Painfwick became the lordfhip of Pain Fitz-John, from 
whom it derived the former part of its prefent defigna- 
tion. Since that period it has been inherited by feveral 
noble perfonages, and, among others, by the lords Talbot. 
Painfwick confifts of feveral ftreets, very irregularly 
built. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is the only 
edifice worthy of notice. This building has a nave, a 
chancel, and a north and fouth aifle, with a tower and 
fpire at the weft end, rifing to the height of 174 feet. Its 
ftyle of architedture is mixed and incongruous; thefouth 
aifle, which is modern, is lupported by Doric pillars, and 
the entrance is beneath an Ionic portico, while the body 
of the church is in the pointed ftyle. Thefpouts under 
the battlements of the north aifle reprefent fingularly- 
grotefque heads of demons. In the chancel are feveral 
monuments of the Jerningham family. The church un¬ 
derwent a thorough repair in 1743, when a handfome al¬ 
tar-piece was put up. 
Painfwick has a nominal market on Tuefdays ; and two 
fairs, Tuefday in Whitfun-week, and the 19th of Sep¬ 
tember. According to the parliamentary returns of i8n, 
the town and parifh contain 674 houfes, and a popula-
