ception, extended views, and a mind active 
and firm, joined to the habits of unremitting

the improvement of his fortune: the fame 
talents were ever ready to be employed in 
giving adviceand affiftance to thofe who afked; 
and in framing and directing charitable infti- 
tutions. His liberal contributions to the hof- 
pital at Birmingham, and to other focieties for 
relieving and ameliorating the condition of the 
poor; his annual diftribution of thofe effential 
comforts of life, bread and coals, during the 
fevere feafon of the year; and his numerous 
acts of private beneficence, to an extent that 
has few parallels, will make him long re- 
gretted by the poor, whilft they afford an 
honourable example to the affluent... Thefe 
excellent qualities were accompanied with 
great hofpitality, and their effect improved 
by the urbanity and courtefy of his manners, 
by am agieeable well-formed perion, a coun-, 
tenance expreflive of the intelligence of his 
mind, and the cheerfulnefs of his difpofition.

mon dignity; the energies of a ftrong and 
powerful mind, enabling him to fupport thofe 
trials which related to. himfelf, without re- 
axing in his attentions to the diftrefles of 
others. The fame firmnefs of charater ac- 
companied him in death—he clofed an aétive, 
an ufeful, and honourable exiftence here, 
with exemplary philofophy and refignation,
