At Buxton, J. Edge,’efg. merchant, of 
Manchefter. 
At the Priory, near Derby,whither he had 
lately removed, after a few hours illnefs, aged 
69, Erafmus Darwin, M. D. The inhabitants 
of avery extenfive circle, who had perfect 
reliance on his-profeffional fkill, will feelingly 
deplore his death; and to his difconfolate 
family andintimate friends,towhom his many 
great and amiable qualities, highly endeared 
-him, his lofs will be irreparable. We have not 
room, in this number, -to enlarge on the 
fingularly, great, and ftriking features, which 
marked the charaéter of this celebrated man. 
_ Jt may be obferved, however, that there are 
but few perfons in this, and perhaps other 
countries, illumined by the rays of fcience 
and literature, who have not either been im- 
proved by the depth of his refearch, in various 
_ branches of knowledge, or delighted by the’ 
. poetical luxuriance of his imagination, and 
the elegance and harmony of his language. 
His beautiful poem called Zoonomia; or, the 
Laws of Organic Life, wili be an everlafting 
monument of his genius and penetration ; 
and individuals in every age and country, may 
be benefited by the improvements he has made 
in medical fcience. Of the Royal Society, 
and many other learned bodies, Dr. Darwin 
was an illuftrious member, and a fhining or- 
nament to a nation that boafts a long train of | 
philofophers and poets. Further interefting 
and authentic particulars, relative to this ex- 
cellent perfonage, will be given in our next.
