the author of fome hiftorical Novels entitled, 
Richard Creur de Leon, Ear! Strongbow, Fobn of 
Gaunt, and of feveral poetical pieces. He 
was educated at the univerfity of Dublin, was 
efteemed an admirable {cholar, and was pof- 
Seffed of the moft brilliant parts. His condu@& 
for thefe four or five years paft has been 
marked by great wildnefs and eccentricity. 
He had conceived an ardent affection for a 
certain young lady, who he fuppofed was as 
warmly attached to him, but he conceived 
fome plot was contrived to wean her regard, 
and to fruftrate all his future profpe€ts in life. 
He attributed the failure of his application 
for patronage from the great, as the machina- 
tions of thefe plotters and contrivers ; and even 
fuppofed that their influence upon the book-~ 
fellers prevented his literary labors from being 
more amply rewarded. He patied the win-

fubftance were very fcanty. He has been

months, and to have fubfifted every day ona 
bifcuit, apiece of bread, a potatoe anda glafs 
of water. Unableto pay his lodgings and too 
proud toafk relief, he wouldmany nights wan- 
der about the fields or feek repofe beneath a 
hay-ftack. He once, whenalmot exhaufted, 
took refuge in an Inn at Bath, where his 
extraordinary conduct, and his refufing every 
kind of fuftenance, alarmed the miftrefs and 
induced her to apply tothe magiftrates, who 
humanely ordered him to be placed under the 
Care of the parith officers. Inftead of appre- 
Clating thefe precautionary means, as he ought 
te have done, he complained in his letters €* of 
the undue interference of magitterial authority 
and the unconftitutional infringment of the li- 
berty of the fubje&t. On the rithof March

nefday being an unpleafant day, he remained 
in doors, amufing himfelf with fuch publica- 
tions as the houfe afforded. On Friday night 
he ordered fome tea and retired to bed about 
nine. Not arifing at his ufual hour, the mif- 
trefs of the houfe fent up to him, when he 
complained of a flight indifpofition, and paffed 
the whole day in his bed, refufing to take 
the leaft nutriment. On the evening of the 
following day he expired.—-One fhilling and 
two fixpences was all the pecuniary ftore he 
had ; and as he died amongit ftrangers, he was
