On Thurfday morning, the 14th, in the 
‘16th year of his age, Willam James Mavor, 
eldeft fon of Dr. Mavor, of Woodfteck. 
The complaint, which brought on his un- 
timely diffolution, was a confumption, arifiag 
from a neglected cold; and when his fituation 
was difcovered by his affected father, no ex-. 
pedient known, or reforted to, in fuch cafes, 
under the beft medical advice, was found 
availing to reftore him. The elegance of his 
form, and the fweetnefs and regularity of his 
features, though univerfally allowed, were 
but a faint index of his lovely and oe -regu- 
lated mind. After a domeftic education, in 
which a difpofition the moft amiable, and ta- 
lents the moft promifing, were cultivated 
with a fond afliduity, he was entered on the 
foundation of the Charter Houfe, on the no- 
mination of the Duke of Marlborough. His 
judgment was mature beyond his years, and 
his feveral acquirements in literature fuch ag 
warranted an abundant future harveft. But 
death has clofed thofe profpedts once fo fair 5 
and his difconfolate father, who has loft in 
him the friend of his leifure, and the compa- 
nion of his ftudies,. can only cherifh the re- 
membrance of his worth, and indulge the 
‘foothing hope of rejoining him in a better 
world, .His tafte in every branch of natural 
hiftory was correét, and his refearches confi- 
derable. To him his father dedicated a vo- 
and during his linger- 
ing illnefs, he {uggefted the plan of a Botani- 
cal Pocket-book, now in the prefs, whofe uti- 
lity to ftudents in that enchanting {cience
