* mbellify nature. From a ftriét adherence 
o thefe cautions, the writings of his pupils 
never failed to give a pleafure to the ob-. 
ferver; a pleafure which a penman of true 
tafte alone can fenfibly feel. ‘They were the 
preductions of a free and eafy command of 
hand; not painted with the eye clofe to the 
paper, but executed with fuperior facility, 
and capable of being examined: at a natural 
diftance. 
Penmanfhip among the moderns is either 
‘clear or full. he clear Ryle depends onthe 
finenefs of the hair ftrokes and the acutenels 
of the turnings; and the full on a natural 
dnd fametimes a premature change from the 
hair to the down-ftrokes.: ~ 
Mr. Davis was an advocate for neither ex- 
treme, but obferved Clearneis in order to 
form elegance and perfpicuity, and made ule 
of the full to efeét an equiliorium. By in- 
fitting on this method, ‘which he illuftrated 
by his own examples, he defervedly pro- 
qared public encouragement. Many living 
eharaéters of eminence and importance, in 
almoft every profefiion in life, have been 
his pupils. All the mafters in iflington were 
brought up at the feet of this fecond Ga- 
malicl. | His fchool wasa feminary, not for

men of common capacity, but for mafters. 
Sti@ difcipline, unattended by aufterity, 
was his uniform principle of conduct. An 
over-fondnefs begins with familiarity, and 
concludes in difrefpeft; and feverity pro- 
duces difcouragement, terror, and ftupidity. 
The fubjeét of this memoir, whilft he claimed 
re{peét, encouraged affiduity. If fullennefs 
met with chaftifement, indufiry felt his 
Kkindnefs.—Such was David Davis, of Dur- 
ham-houfe: great was his ufefulnefs, hie 
friendthip extraordinary, and his mental 
powers above defcription. May many imi- 
tate his laudable conduét. He rofe from 
ignorance to knowledge, from obfcurity to 
dittinétion, from penury to affluence; and, 
leaving the commotions of time, pafled over 
to a happy immortality.
