terly, he was fubjeét to a fpafmodic affection 
‘of the lungs, attended with fwelling in the 
lower extremities which indicated a collec- 
tion of: water in the breaft, and, whatever 
the proximate caufe might ‘be, ended in his 
diffolution ; and though he deemed it his 
duty to take the aid of the beft medjcal ad- 
vice, he fpoke with: great compofure of the 
dmprobability at his advanced period of life of 
keeping up a machine, which is at: beft 
frail, and liable to fadden changes. He 
viewed death, however, without difmay, 
and fpoke of it -with unconcern, theugh im- 
preffed with a deep fenfe of its awful confe- 
quences. —But he accuftumed himfelf to, look 
_ beyond the grave with a fteady faith in a fu- 
ture {tate of impartial retribution —And, as 
an habitual regard to it was the fure guide of 
his life, he found in it an effe€iual fupport 
and comfort under the approach of the lait 
Struggle which flefh is heir to. Mof 
juftly may it be faid of him, in the ex- 
preflive language of the immortal Poet :—

DEATHS ABROAD. 
At Norkoping, in Sweden, John Henry 
Liden, a celebrated Swedith Jiterateur. He 
prefented to the univerfity of Upfal, or 
rather to the ftudents of Eaft Gothland, who 
frequented it, nearly the whole of his library, 
confifting of about 60co volumes, on condi- 
tion of its being made public; he likewife 
endowed the Univerfity, with the intereft of 
a capital .of 1333 rix-dollavs, for the acquifi- 
tien of new works. His ftep-mother,. Hed- 
wig Sophia Liden, a woman replete with re- 
fpeftability, and who feemed to rival him in 
‘acts of beneficence, funk a capital of 2777 
rix-dollars, the intereftt of which was to ferve 
asa falary toa librarian. He and his ftep- 
mother left a falary for an amantenfis, to be 
employed in the librasy of the Univerfity of - 
Upfal, and the intereft of a capital to form a 
purfe of rix-dollars, every year, for two ftu- 
dents not opulent, that fhould difcover ta- 
lents. Liden likewife gave the fum of 1000 
rix-dollars to the Royal Academy of Stock- 
holm, and a like fum to the Academy of 
Belles Lettres, Hiftory and Antiquities of 
the fame city, of which he was a member. 
He alfo gave 500 rix-dollars to the library of 
the Academy of Abo, to purchafe new books; 
anda like fum, with the profit of two works 
which he had printed at his own expence, to 
the library of Linkoping. He added a num- 
ber of his own valuable books to the library 
of the Swedith Academy ; as alfo to the li- 
brary of the Univerfity of Lund, to that of 
Abo, and to the library of the Gymnafium 
In 1791, on the death of 
his ftep-mother, he gave 200 rix-dollars* to 
the cheft of the poor of the city of Linko- 
ping. The king confirmed thefe different 
difpofitions of Liden, and. infured their duray 
tion. It would be difficult to. enumerate all 
the beneficent gifts which he diftributed in his 
life-time ; which, however, did not amount 
to lefs than 11,622 rix-dollars ; and he never 
let flip any opportunity of doing good. _ Liden 
languifhed under a complaint of the joints (a 
cataftrophe fo much the more deplorable for 
him, as before he was attacked with it, in 
1776, le had only been ill twice in his life) 
twenty-one years, féventeen of which he 
pafled without being able to quit his bed. 
As his pain and the obligation of remaining 
always bed-ridden, gave him no little uneali- 
nefs, to calm his mind inthe moments of ill 
humour, he placed before his eyes, on his 
bed, the two words, patience and meckuefs. 
On the rsth of April, 1793, he was feized 
with a cough which he confidered as the pre- 
curfor of a fpring fever, under which he had 
laboured many years. At firft, le paid no at~
