fortunate perionafiords an additional inftance 
of the obicurity to which merit is but too 
frequently confignei, for want of powerful 
atronage.. Notwithftanding his extraordi- 
nary eminence in his profeflion, and his illuf- 
trious birth, he was fo reduced by the vicif- 
fitudes of fortune, as to be compelled to exift

fugée chapel, with the earnings of his in- 
duitry in the Yaborious taik of playing coun-, 
try dances.

mas Garratt, the fon of Mr. Francis Garratt, 
Wholefale Tea-Dealer near London Bridgey” 
having, lefs than a week before his deceafe, 
appeared to be in the full vigour and “bloom 
of health. As the age of youth is peculiarly 
fufceptible of ‘praife, and is forward to imi’ 
tate; and as departed merit, whatever ftage 
of life it may have adorned, has, if acknow- 
ledged to be remarkable, a claim on pofthu- 
mous notice; it cannot be judged improper 
to delineate the charaéter and attainments of 
Thomas Garratt: but this fketch cannot be 
materially ufeful to others, nor can fufficient 
regard be preferved to the rules of proportion, 
unlefs the features of the portrait be minutely, 
as well as faithfully, drawn. Still, however,’ 
though the general outline and the promi- 
nent lineaments will be clearly traced, it 
afptres only to the title of an imperfe&t copy, 
and will be deftitute of many of thofe delicate 
touches of which it is fufceptible. Though 
executed by the hand of friendfhip, it will — 
not be coloured by the pencil of flattery.~ + 
The far* greater part of his education he 
received at home, together with two of his 
brothers, under the vigilant eye of his mo- 
ther. By the force of his own genius, by 
the exclufion of temptations to indolence, by 
habits of early rifing, by a frequent inter- 
change of employment, by mucihi perfonal 
attendance of tutors, and bya ftriét adhe- 
rence to regularity of plan, much wasaccom- 
plithed. To arithmetic, to geometry, and 
to aftronomy, he had paid confiderable at— 
tention; and the Mathematical Dictionary of 
Dr. Hutton was one of the books, of which 
he was moft fond. In grammar he had are 
rived at diftinguifhed proficiency ; and, even’ 
in the fubordinate but not unimportant fub- 
ject of punétuation, he poflefled much mi- 
nutenets of information. The French tongue 
he fpoke with as much fluency, and “nearly 
as much correetneis, as the Englith.- He 
read, and he converfed, in the Italian: and 
he had made great pregrefS-in the Greek’ 
and Latin ianguages, and confiderable ad- 
vances in the German; unaided by 
the ufe of tranflations, which cherifh idle- 
nefs, which conceal ignorance, which flatter’ 
dullnefs, and which, as they are commonly 
employed, at-once retard ‘the growth ‘and 
undermine the permanency of improvement. ~ 
With the biography, the hiftory, and the 
geography of ancient times, he had an ex- 
tenitve acquaintance: and any dilputed point: 
on -thofe fubjcéts, or on chronology, was: 
capable. of powerfully interefting his atten- 
tion, and of inciting him to refearches 
among ditierent authors. Nor was his  geo-
