year 1773, one of his parifhioners, Mifs Pel- 
loquin, a maiden laty of large fortune and 
mot exeniplary piety, bequeathed to the 
Dean. her dwelling-houfe in Queen fquare, 
Britol, with a very handfome legacy, as a 
teitimony of her great efteem for his worth 
and talents. _ In the year 1781 the Dean mar- 
tied a lady of the name of Crowe, who re- 
fided at Gloucefter. It fhould be recorded to 
his praife, that though enjoying but very 
moderate preferment (for td a man of no pa- 
ternal eftate, or other ecclefiaftical dignity, 
the Deanery of Gloucefter is no very advan- 
tageous fituation), he has notwithftanding 
been a liberal benefactor to feveral public in- 
#itutions, anda diftinguifhed patron of merit. 
Fhe. celebrated John Henderfon, of Pem- 
broke College, Oxford, was fent to the Uni- 
verfity, and fupported there, at the Dean’s 
ezpence, when he had no means whatever of 
gratifying his ardent. defire for ftudy. We 
fhall mention another inflance of generofity 
in this place, which reflects the greateft ho- 
nour upon the Dean,- About the year 3790 
he thought of refigning his rectory in Briftol, 
and, w ithout Seaton teat aie his defign to any 
ether perfen, he applied to the Chancellor, 
in whofe gift it is, for leave to quit it in fa- 
your of his curate, a moft deferving map, 
with a jarge family. His Lordfhip was wil- 
ling enough that he fhould give up the liv- 
Ing, but kexcfoled him the tiberty of nomi- 
On this the Dean re- 
folved to hoid the living himfelf, till he 
could find a fit opporty nity to fucceed in his 
ebject. After weighing the matter more de- 
liberately, be communicated his with to. his 
patithioners, and advifed them to draw up a 
petition to the Chancelicr in favour of the 
curate. This was accordingly doné, and 
fizned by all. of them, without any excep- 
tien, either on the part of the diffenters or 
others. ‘The Chancellor being touched with 
this teftimo ony cf léve_ between a clergyman 
and his people, yielded at laft-to the applica- 
tion; in i ; which the Dean 
cheerfully refigned the living to a fucceffor 
well qualified to tread in his fteps. Since 
that time he has refided chiefiy at Gloucetter, 
viewing his approaching diffolution with the 
placid mind of a Chriftian, confcious of hav- 
e his duty beth to God and Man. 
The following is a a tolerably corre€t lift of 
the Dean’s works:

At Dublin, Lord Charlemont ; a noble. 
man, on whom, even in times of the: mot 
imminent danger, neither fusbnleacs fac- 
tion, nor flander, has dared to caft an afper- 
fion: Of his Lordfhip’s early life, a great 
Ee was {pent abroad; charmed with the arts, 
the climate, and the language of. Italy, it 
was for many years! his favourite refidence. 
With the reft of the world, however, he was 
intimately acquainted; as at every court 
which a young nobleman generally vifits he 
{pent more than the ufual time. In all-he 
was refpected and beloved; and he has been 
heard to fay, that when he returned home 
there was not a country in Europe in which 
he was not more known, and had not more of 
thofe connections which fweeten life, than 
in his native Ireland! His Lordfhip returned 
home at about the age of thirty; and his re- 
tprn is faid to have Bee haftened by a diforder 
contracted from poifon, adminiftered by the 
jealoufy of .a female. Of this diforder, the 
malignity had baffled the efficacy of all the 
medical {kill which his Lordfhip found abroad, 
and it remained for the honour of an Irifh 
phyfician, if not radically to remove the dif- 
eafe, at leaft to alleviate its force, and pre- 
ferve a lite which was to be the ornament and 
pride of his country. “The phyfician in quei- 
ticn was the celebrated Dr. Lucas, a man 
diftinguithed, not more by the fuccefs of his 
medical exertions in-his Lordfhip’s caie, than 
by the. zeal and energy which he has difplayed 
as a political writer, and a popular reprefen- 
tative. Having thus recovered a moderate 
thare of health by the fkill of this Ivifh pa- 
triot,. and prefcribed for himfelf a degree of 
temperance and baile of regimen which 
few men would have had the fteadinefs to 
obfetve, his Lordihip began to think of an 
héir. 
in its moft fafcinating forms amid& the bril- 
liancy of courts, the iplendour of wealth, 
and the: attraGtions of polithed manners, he. 5
