felf brought up to the law, and aéted for 
many years as fecretary to his uncle, Dr. 
Thomas, the late Bifhop of Winchefter, and 
as commifiioner of bankruptcies: engage- 
.ments which prevented the tedium generally 
occafioned by a want of regular employment, 
at the fame time that they were not incon- 
fittent with leifuré, and the eafy enjoymeat 
ef lite. Mr. Mulfo lived amongf a pretty 
large circle of friends, by whom he was 
equally refpected and beloved. His judg- 
ment was found, his tafte elegant, his heart 
affeétionate, and his mind imbued with the 
pureft fentiments of virtue. He pofleffed a 
yein of genuine humour, ever chaftened by 
deligacy and politenefs; for in his manners,

which were remarkably gentle, he had’ all 
the urbanity of the true gentleman in the beft 
fenfe of that appellation. He was a man of great 
liberality and candour; nor had he any ex- 
clufive attachments to any fect or party. He 
was, above all, remarRable for the unvary~ 
ing fweetnefs and cquanimity of his temper, 
in which he had the rare felicity of pofleffing 
as a gift what others are obliged to labour 
afterasa virtue. Mr. Mulfo was, always fond * 
of polite literature; and gave to the world, 
feveral years ago, a novel, entitled ‘* Sema 
pronius and Califius,’ which was very well 
received by the public. It is grave and pas 
thetic; nor is it recommended only by fenti- 
ments of virtue flightly interwoven in the 
piece, for to recommend yirtue is the fole 
and entire aim of the work; and the death- 
bed, particularly, of the vicious charaéter of 
the piece, is drawn in colours that, we doubt 
not, have touched the heart of many an in- 
genuous youth. Mr. Mulfo alfo poffeffed an 
eafy vein of poetry; but his performances in 
this way went no farther than the.circle of 
his friends. So temperately did Mr. Mulfo 
ufe life, and fo gradually and evenly did the 
whole man feem to wear away together, that 
his friends, who watched his declining years 
with a tender folicitude, had flattered them- 
felves he would be fpared the agonies of a 
painful exit out of life, and enjoy that ev- 
thanafia which is the fole remaining with of 
advanced age.. Ie did not prove fo: the laft 
weeks of his life were tried with fharp pain, 
which he bore with firmnets, confcious of 
his fituation, and as not wanting thofe prin- 
ciples which might enable him to meet death 
with a manly compofure.—-Mr. Mulfo was 
brother to the juftly refpe¢ted Mrs. Chapone, 
and married the fifter of General Prefcott, a 
lady as eminently calculated to infpire, as 
her hutband was to feel, the delicacy and 
tendernefs of that attachment which was 
only interrupted by his death. | 
Aged 32, Mr. Follet, better known by the 
familiar appellation of Jack Follet, who has 
fo often excited the wonder of majefty, the 
approbation of the gods, and the laughter of 
the little Eafter and Chriftmas gentry. He 
was the fon of an itinerant ator; but what- 
ever abilities the father might have pofleffed 
in the oratorical way, it is certain Jack could 
never make any progrefs towards attaining 
the celebrity of a Rofcius: he therefore 
wilely availed himfelf of the advantages na- 
ture had given him in an athletic frame, 
and ftrong mufcular-powers, by turning his 
thoughts to pantemime; in which he -fo 
well fucceeded, that he has.fcarcely left his 
equal as a reprefentative of aclown. He had 
a particular methee.of walking, in a pofition 
in which his knees were fo inverted as nearly 
to touch the ftage; a ftriking proof of the 
ftrength of his mvfcles. At one period of 
his lite his agility was equal to his ftrength, 
and he has frequently tuken leaps which Har-
