At his houfe, in Park-lane, aged 68, the 
Right Hon. Edward Lord Petre, a Roman 
Cath lic Peer, and latterly confidered as the 
head of that body of gentlemen. His Lord- 
fhip had been for many years a martyr to the 
gout, which had produced a complication of 
aiforders This nobleman, whofe virtuous 
character and upright conduét rendered him 
an object of univerfal admiration and efteem, 
Was twice married, and has left a verv nu- 
merous ifflue. He is fucceeded in the title of 
Baron Petre by Robert Edward, his eldeft 
fon by his firft wife, niece to the late Duke 
of Norfolk, ‘Though a ftriking oraament 
of fociety, and a man who would have done 
honour to any fituatien, however ‘high, he- 
was prevented from ever taking his feat as a 
Peer of Parliament, on account of his ad- 
herence to the faith in which he was born. 
He was, like all his anceftors, a Roman Ca- 
tholic by profeffion; but as a truly liberal 
Chriftian, he poffefied 2 mind that nobly 
foared above all the unwortlay notions of re- 
ligious prejudice. _ Lord Petre annually ex- 
pended about soool. in charity, a pratice 
that was not difcovered till after his Lord- 
thip’s death, 
At his houfe in Hatton Garden, Jofeph 
Warner, efg. F. R. S. and the oldeft Mem- 
ber of the Court of Examiners of the Royal 
College of Surgeons. This moft refpe€table 
and valuable man was born in the Ifland of 
Antigua, inthe year 1717, on the family- 
eftate, which he inherited, together with 
that ring, famous in hiftory, which Queen 
Elizabeth had given to the Earl of Effex, and 
which, in the hour of impending danger, he 
entrufted to the Countefs of Nottingham, to 
be delivered to her Majefty.. It is well 
known that the Earl was executed, and that 
the detention of the ring was acknowledged 
by the Countefs on her death-bed, and then 
reftored to the agonized and enraged Queen, 
‘The ring has, for very many years, regularly 
defcended, together with the eftate, in the 
Warner family. The fubje@ of the prefent 
Notice was fent to England at an early age, 
and entered'at Weftminfter-fchool, where he 
continued fix or feven years, and became an- 
excellent claflical fcholar. At the age of 17 
he was put apprentice to that very celebrated 
Haynes, of Clayton Place, Kenning- 
Marriages and Deaths in and near London. 
163 
furgeon, Samuel Sharpe, with whom he re- 
fided feven years, he then was admitted Joint 
Le&turer in Anatomy at St. Thomas’s Hof- 
pital, with Mr. Sharpe, after whofe refigna- 
tion Mr, Warner continued the leétures for a 
number of years. In 1746, during the Re- 
bellion in Scotland, he volunteered his pro 
feffional fervices, and joined the royal. army 
under the Duke of Cumberland. In the 
courfe of that campaign, he was fummoned 
to London, a vacancy having happened in the 
office of Surgeon to Guy’s Hofpital, and he 
was elected. In this very important fituationy 
which he held during the unufually long 
period of forty-four years, he laboured afi- 
duoufly and fuccefsfully: whilft he was em- 
ployed in difpenfing health to the numerous 
and afflicted objets, he was no lefs ufefully 
engaged in communicating his knowledge to 
the ftudents, who came from all parts of the 
country for inftruétion. His labours in the 
public fervice were, however, not confined 
to the wards and theatre of that noble hofpi- 
tal; as his valuable Treatifes on the Cata- 
ract, on the Hydrocele, &c. and as his ftill 
more valuable volume of Cafes, which has ~ 
gone through feveral editions, amply teftify, 
Mr. Warner’s increafing-and juiftly merited 
fame foon introduced him to an extenfive 
Z 
practice amongft the moft refpettable and ~ 
wealthy families of this metropolis; and by — 
his brethren he was allowed to rank with 
the firft ornaments of the profeffion, In 
1756 he was éleéted a Fellow of the Royal 
Society, in whofe Tranfactions a number of 
his communications have been publifhed. In 
1764, he was elected a Member of the 
Court of Affiftants of the then Corporation 
of Surgeons, and in 17715, of the Court of 
Examiners, in which office he continued to 
difcharge his duty moft punctually, honour- 
ably, and ufefully, ungil the 2d day of the 
month on which he died. His actual con- 
finement by the laft illnefs was very fhort, 
as his corporeal frame was literally worn out; 
but all his fenfes, and his underftanding, 
continued, in an extraordinary degree, un- 
impaired to the end. This gave him the 
beft opportunity of difplaying that firmnefs of 
mind, tor which, through his whole life, he 
was remarkable ; for, although from the be- 
ginning, he was confident that he fhould not 
recover, and indeed predicted within a few 
days of when his death would happen, yet 
his whole condué&t was unembarraffed, and he 
was even cheerful in the immediate proipect 
of that great change for which he was fo well 
prepared. There are few fituations in which 
an individual can be more eminently or ex- 
tenfively ufeful to mankind, than in that of 
a phyfician or furgeon to one of the hofpitals 
of this great metropolis; thofe fchools from 
whence anatomical, medical, and chirurgical 
knowledge is difperfed overthe world. "That 
Mr, Warner has fully acquitted himfelf of 
his fhare of this arduous but pleafing duty, 
the prefent and futere generations will grate-
