At Holloway, 48, Mr. John Thurston, 
one of the most ingenious and tasteful de¬ 
signers of his age,~and a man whose mo¬ 
desty retarded his distinction in society. 
He was a native of Scarborough, but has 
for many years resided in the vicinity of 
London, and has been much celebrated for 
the beauty of his designs in various ele¬ 
gant publications, though his retired ha¬ 
bits caused him to be personally unknown 
bey r ond the circle of his family and a few 
friends. A delicate form of body and in¬ 
tense application to his profession, com¬ 
bined to shorten his life, and deprive an 
orphan family of his further protection and 
support. 
In a fit of apoplexy, at his house in 
James-street, Westminster, Rear-Admiral 
James Burney , the son of the late justly 
celebrated Charles Burney, Mus. Doct. 
author of the elegant History ot Music, 
and several other works. James Burney 
was his eldest son, and sent early into the 
navy, and perhaps no man ever paid more 
attention to his duty or succeeded better, 
both as a practical and theoretical seaman. 
He was sent out twice with that excellent 
seaman Capt. Cook; first as a midship¬ 
man, and on his return was promoted to be 
a lieutenant. He sailed with that much 
lamented officer as lieutenant, and contri¬ 
buted much to the success of his perilous 
and important voyage. By the death of 
the two commanders, Cook and Clerke, 
he returned in command of the smallest 
ship, the Discovery. On his return be was 
confirmed in the rank of master and com¬ 
mander, and soon after promoted to that of 
post captain. In that capacity he was sent 
in command of the Bristol man of war, to 
India, and was present in most of the ac¬ 
tions
