1811 .] Deaths in and near London^ and of Public Cnaracters, 493 
Mr. Sturges, one of the clerks, and com¬ 
plained that he was very cold. On leaving 
the Cathedral, he went to Mr. Hume’s, in 
King-street, still complaining that he was 
very cold'j and, sitting on the sofa, reclined 
fcis head on Lady Holland, who was there ; 
and almost instantly expired. The above 
Baronet, so created in 1800, was formerly 
JNathaniel Dance^ esq. third son of George 
Dance, esq. architect of the city of London, 
who died in 1768. Sir N. Holland, deceased, 
was more justly famed for his professional 
talents as a painter, and a brother to Mr. 
George Dance, than by the borrowed splen¬ 
dour which immense wealth, through his 
marriage with the Yorkshire Mrs. Dummer, 
and the'title which it commanded could sub¬ 
sequently command. Those accessions of 
fortune he ostentatiously displayed in endea¬ 
vouring to purchase, in order to burn^ all the 
pictures which he had formerly painted, many 
of which were of high and deserved celebrity. 
Tins he did at the cost of some thousands, in 
order to enter the pictoric world again as an 
amateury in which strange project his success 
fell short of his expectations. The morti- 
iication of not being able to purchase and 
destroy his inimitable whole-length of Gar¬ 
rick, in the scene of Richard HI. for wbicli 
he offered the late Sir W.^Wynne 1000 
guineas, is said to have deeply affected his 
mind to the end of his life. He possessed by 
his union with Mrs. Dummer, estates to the 
amount of 18,0001. per annum, and among 
these was the ancient and beautiful Abbey 
of Nctiey, on the Southampton river, v.^hich, 
it seems, derived nothing from Sir Natha¬ 
niel’s taste, even on the score of preservation. 
He represented the borough of East Grm- 
stead many years in Parliament, and is sup¬ 
posed to have amassed nearly 200,0001. 
roost of which he has bequeathed to his re¬ 
latives. The Dummer estates, being strictly 
entailed, remain in that family.

bounded charity, the mildest amenity of

have arrested the hand of death, we never 
should have recorded the decease of this truly 
■good woman. In the expressivy language of 
beripture, it may be truly taid of her, sh-c 
went down to the grave full of good woxks-
