In the 49th year of his age, Mr. Benjamin 
Thomas Pouncy, Engraver; a man of the 
firft eminence in his profeifion. He was the 
brother-in-law, and moft difting uifhed of the 
difciples of Woollett, with whofe vigour and 
richnefs of fyle’he has happily united the free- 
dom and fimplicity of Vivares, ‘* and witha 
maiter’s hand and poet’s fire,’? has blended

Died.] Suddenly, Sir Peter Nugent, bart. 
ef Donore, in the county of Weftmeath, Ire- 
land, greatly lamented by his difconfolate, fa- 
mily and numerous friends, to whom his vir- 
tues fojuftly endearcd him ar a fon, brother, 
Account of Provoft Murray: hee, 
659 
hufband, and friend. His benevolence, gene~ 
rofity and charity were unbounded. Sir Peter 
was born Sept. 29, 1746. On the 3oth of 
May, 1785, he married Mary, the eldeft 
daughter of Sir James Hodges, reliét of Wil- 
liam Rogers, efq. He fucceeded his’brother, 
Sir James Nugent, in his title and eftates in 
April 1794. The title is extinét. 
At ‘Dublin, ‘on the: 20th. June,. Dr. 
Murray, provoft of Trinity College.—This 
gentleman was the father cf the Uni- 
verfity over which he prefided, as well by 
length of ftanding, as by the office which he 
held. It is now a ards of half a century 
fince he became a fellow, and within that 
period he witnefled feveral complete fuccef- 
fions of new members in the corporation 3 by 
all of them! he was beloved and venerated. 
Love of feclufion, and a devoted attachment 
to literature, muft have beem his motives for 
continuing fo long.an academic life: for, by 
the conftitution of the Dublin college, fcarcely 
.a year paffes in which fome one of its fellows 
may not'go out on a college living; of 
courfe he muft many times have rejected 
what, to others, would have been an allur- 
ing opportunity of emerging from the tor- 
pitude and ftrigtnefs of college regimen, 
into a free enjoyment of the world in eafe 
and affluence; for the livings in which the 
college of Dublin provides for its retiring 
members are rich, none of them lefs than 
five or fix deg tea pounds per annum, and 
many of them producing eleven or twelve 
hundfed. Dr. Murray was not, like moft 
of the other fellows of the Dublin Univer- 
fity, prompted by love to interpret the fel- 
lows’ oath in fuch a manner as to permit at 
once the keeping of a wife and a fellow- 
fhip. He. not only remained in that ftate of 
celibacy which fo well correfponds with the 
duties of a college tutor, but, if one may 
fafely judge of the progrefs of paffion from 
extrinfic circumftances, never even in idea 
violated the laws of the ftricteft chaftity.— 
His plan of life, indeed, almoft precluded 
temptation. He fcarcely ever ventured into 
the company of any but his near college 
friends, and even in their fociety very rarely 
indulged. His time was always fully occu- 
pied either by duty or ftudy. He ated with 
the regularity of mechanifm; and if the 
door poffeffed fuch a speech 28 fancy, not a 
moment was left for the imagination to revel 
in. Dr. Murray, prior to his elevation to 
the provoftfhip, was for many years mathe- 
matical le€turer; and in the difcharge of 
the duty of that office difplayed fingular 
{kill in the very difficult art of fciene 
There was a fimplicity, precifion and clear- 
nefs in his method which conveyed his ideas 
even on the abfra& and difficult feience df 
analytics (for it is to that branch the ma- 
thematical le€turer in the Univerfity’ of 
Dublin is chiefly confined) with the greateft 
eafe and accuracy, while the cGmprchen-
