chapel in Goodman’s-fields, Mr. M. was ap¬ 
pointed to his pulpit, which he filled with great 
discretion, until the congregation was dissolv¬ 
ed. During the latter part of his connexion 
with this society, he officiated as one of the 
Sunday Evening Lecturers, at Salter’s Hall, 
and in the year 1783, became a member of the 
late Dr. Williams’s trust, in Redcross-street, 
and in 1804 he was chosen librarian. In 1819, 
he was presented with the diploma of Doctor 
in the civil law, by the University of Aberdeen. 
His life, however, appeared drawing to a close, 
and there is reason to believe that the death 
of the late Dr. Lindsay, to whom he was 
strongly attached, gave a shock to his 
frame, which brought on a fatal result. 
Dr. Morgan was a man of liberal sentiments 
in religion ; a Protestant Dissenter in princi¬ 
ple, yet without bigotry, and his character 
was distinguished for independence of mind 
and high sense of honour. His merits as an 
author have been before the public in under¬ 
takings of great extent and respectability. He 
was well acquainted with general literature, 
had a good knowledge of books, and was a 
man of regular habits and punctuality in his 
several engagements. He was co-editor with 
Dr. Kippis in the Biographica Britanica; for 
many years he conducted the literary depart¬ 
ment of the New' Annual Register; and his 
name appears in the title-page with that of 
Dr. Aikin, in the General Biography.]
