378 Nottinghamshire <?. [Nov. I, 
aud practical; and the benevolence of his 
character led him so to apply his informa¬ 
tion as to promote the interests of the nu¬ 
merous work people under his influence. 
His plans for their welfare were not of a 
visionary aud impracticable nature, but 
tended at once to inculcate a spirit of in¬ 
dustry, order, cleanliness, sobriety, and 
thus to secure the real independence of the 
poor. Institutions for the diffusion of 
knowledge among' them, had his zealous 
support and active services, and indeed 
nothing- which concerned this important 
portion of his fellow creatures, was re¬ 
garded with indifference by him. Judicious 
as were the arrangements already carried 
into practice under his superintendance, 
he entertained yet mere enlarged views for 
the amelioration of their condition. But 
his early death has broken off these virtu¬ 
ous purposes of his mind, and bequeathed 
to his survivor the duty of giving'full effect 
to his benevolent intentions. He bore an 
anxious and protracted illness, with manly 
and Christian fortitude. For months before 
his decease, he wished for life only as it 
might bh the means of lengthened useful¬ 
ness ; and even when tie deemed his reco¬ 
very hopeless, aud was perfectly resigned 
to the dispensations of Providence, he still 
thought it an act of duty to his family, to 
neglect no means of restoration which the 
tenderness of friendship suggested might 
be effectual. Under the full assurance that 
he could not survive the ensuing winter in 
England, he prepared to avail himself of 
the milder climate of the south of Europe, 
and had reached Plymouth, on his way to 
Falmouth, with the view of embarking 
from that port. Soon after his arrival there 
the symptoms of his disorder increased, 
and he resigned his spirit to Him who 
gave it. 
At Constantinople, on the 26th of Aug. 
J. Douglas Strutt, esq. aged 27, only son of 
Joseph S. esq. of this town. This amiable 
young man left his native country 14 
months ago, on his travels for the gratifi¬ 
cation of his taste, and In pursuit of intel¬ 
lectual improvement. He traversed France, 
Switzerland and Italy, visited Sicily and 
Malta, aud from thence, such of the Greek 
Islands, as the lately troubled state of the 
times, and the prevalence of the plague 
rendered accessible. In the course of his 
interesting tour, Ik- collected many ex¬ 
cellent specimens of natural productions, 
and w as successful in obtaining some valu¬ 
able relies of classical antiquity. Several 
packages, containing beautiful works in 
sculpture and painting, had been already 
sent by him to England, and lie is under¬ 
stood to have had in his possession at the 
time of his lamented decease, other proofs 
of the dplighbd attention which he was 
paying to the study of the fine arts. He 
was-at Naples Immediately before, and at 
the time of, the Austrians entering that 
city: aud there, and subsequently at Mes¬ 
sina, he narrowly escaped w ith life from 
the violence of an ungoverned soldiery. In 
his course from Malta to Corfu, the vessel 
in which he sailed was in imminent hazard 
of shipwreck from the violence of a storm. 
His ultimate project was to reach even 
Egypt, that land of early science and re¬ 
mote antiquity. But on his voyage from 
Smyrna to Constantinople he was seized 
with a malignant fever, incidental to the 
climate. He was considered dang-erouslv 
ill on his landing at Constantinople, and 
w r as conveyed to the apartments which 
had been previously prepared for him at 
1 era, in the environs of that celebrated 
metropolis. But notwithstanding the ju¬ 
dicious and unceasing attentions of Dr. 
Mac Guffog, the physician to the British 
Embassy and Factory, and the skill of two 
other eminent physicians, aided by the 
truly anxious care of his personal friends 
and those of his family, he died, to the 
unspeakable grief of all around him, on the 
day stated above, aud was interred on the 
following day, with those demonstrations 
of respect, esteem and regret, which his 
amiable dispositions and manners, and bis 
untimely fate so justly excited. 
u By foreign hands his dying eyes were 
closed, 
Bv foreign hands his decent limbs com- 
posed, 
9 By foreign hands his peaceful grave 
adorn’d, 
“ By strangers honour’d and by strangers 
mourn’d.”
