The Rev. Newcome Cappe, whofe death 
we announced in this Magazine laft moath, 
Yorkfpire.—The Rev. N, Cappe. 
[Feb. 55 
was born at Eeeds, in Yorkfhire, Feb. 21, 
$732. His father, the Rev. Jofepli Cappe, 
was minifter of the Diffenting Congregation 
at Mill Hill, in that town—a man of deep 
erudition, eminently fkilled in the Oriental 
languages,-and no lefs remarkable for his 
modefty than for his talents and attainments. 
The fubje& of this memoir was his eldeft 
fon, who inherited the diftinguifhed abilities, 
the extenfive learning, and the rare virtues 
of his father, Under his eye he acquired the 
rudiments of knowledge, and when his early 
proficiency had given affurance of the pro- 
found earning he was qualified by nature to 
attain, he himfelf conducted his education, 
taught him to read the Grecian and the Ro-. 
man Claffies’ with~critical fkill, introduced 
him to an acquaintance with the Hebrew 
fcriptures, and laid the foundation of that 
fuperftru€ture of facred ‘knowledge which all 
who faw contemplated with pleafure and ad- 
miration. ‘He had not quite reached the age ~ 
of 16, when he was deprived by one of thofe 
vifitations of providence which mortals are 
not’ yet permitted to comprehend, of his 
pious and learned parent. Not long after 
this afflictive event, it was fuggefted to his 
mother, who was connected with the family - 
of Secker (at that time Bifhop of Oxford and 
rector of St. James’s, and afterwards Arch- 
bifhop of Canterbury) that if her fon would 
conform, there could be no doubt that he 
would obtain the patronage of the prelate, 
and that. his abilities and acquirements already 
fo promifing, would enfure him the moft 
diftinguifhed “Hésowes in the eftablifthment. 
Very wifely:and properly fhe left the deter- 
mination to himfelf. He did not hefitate a 
moment. His:love of enquiry, and fearch 
after truth, even at that early period, was 
too ardent to fuffet him te fuibmit to the hard 
neceffity of being compelled to relinguifh the 
unfettered purfuit of religious knowledge. 
Some months after this he was placed by his 
mother under the tuition of the Rev. Mr. 
(afterwards Dr.) Aikin, of Kilworth, is 
Leicefterfhire, for whofe memory he ever re- 
tained the higheit efteem. He was accuf- 
tomed to fpeak of that period of his life with 
great fatistaGtion, not only on account of the 
progrefs he made under his kind and able 
tutor, but alfo becaufe he enjoyed the pleaf- 
ing Opportunity of obferving the early powers 
of a literary lady now living, who; in the 
period of childhood, exdibinel aftonifhing 
proofs of thofe Sauaenk talents which have, 
on a FEw occafions, delighted and improved 
the world, and excited a ftrong and general 
defire, unhappily not gratified, of more fre- 
quent productions of her elegant pen. It is 
fcarcely neceflary here to mention the name 
of Mifs Aikin, now Mrs. Barbauld. From 
Kibworth he was, in the following year, 
(1749) removed to the academy at North- 
ampton, then under the direction of Dr. 
Doddridge, and upon his firft return home he 
cartied with him a letter to his mowher ya
