The fimplicity of the fubject ; the noble 
fentiments which it diiplayed; replete with 
glowing imagery, and rich in poetical allu- 
fion; the fpirited and mafterly performance

Exeter, as mentioned in our Magazine for Feh. 
laft, was a fon of Matthew Barrett, a defcen- 
dant of the Barrett family, of Alvely, Effex ; 
who fettled in Exeter as a merchant, about a 
century ago, and lived in afiwence. He was 
particularly acquainted with Sir Peter King, 
the thén Lord Chancellor; but, owing to 
various lofles, and being an adventurer in the 
famous South-Sea feheme, in the reign of 
Queen Anne, by which he loft 10,0001. and 
upwards, he was at laft reduced, and from 
that time totally eftranged himfelf from his 
family. He lett four other fons, befices the 
above-named Matthew, viz. Kelland, Ed- 
ward, Walter, and John. The remaining 
branches think that their forefathers were 
very imprudent by fuch conduct, and by con- 
cealing, at the fame time, their relationfhip 
with the Effex family, as they have been 
lately informed, that Lennard Barrett, Lord 
Dacre, died in the year 1736, without iflue, 
and, as he himfelf apprehended, deftitute of 
reiations.
