George Atwood, esq. M.A. & F.R.S. aged 
62. He was ccd at Westminster School, 
and was for some time Tutor, and many years 
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. He 
was highly distinguished for Mathematical 
Science. In 1784, he published in one vo- 
lume, octavo, **A Tre.tise on the Kectilie 
Mear Motion, and Rotation of Bodies, with a 
Description of Original Exp:riments relative 
to the Subject.” -A work, whose clearness of 
aryangemenc and Beicit. of utility toward 
affording the stuient a just understanding of 
the varions dstinctions of metion, which 
occur in the material world, ¢an only be ex 
celied by the exquisite clegance of operation 
and application, which pervades every pro- 
posttion In this volume are contained a 
Plate of, and a description of Exeeriments 
made with a singularly usefuf Machine, ine 
wented by himsel’, fo: demonstrating the 
Theories respecting the Rectilinear Motion 
of Bodies, whi h are acted upon by constant 
forces. At the same time Mr. Atwood pub- 
lished, * gn Analysis of a Course of Lec- 
Deaths in and near London. SF: 
tures, on the Principles of Natural Philoso- 
phy, read in the University of Cambridge ;* 
a work no less a master- ae in its kind, 
than the preceding. ‘The Curiosa felicitas of 
Expression, which in every sentence of Ex- 
planation, as well as in every Mathematical 
Operation and Conclusion, go singularly 
adorng the pages of Mr. Atwood, renders the 
Study of his propositions particularly grateful 
to the abstruse Enquirer; and cannot but 
make him frequently regret that those cele~ 
brated supporters of Mathematical Science, 
_ Simpson and Emerson, bave not heen more 
solicitous to cheer and lighten fabours of 
their followers, by a more patient attention 
to those secondary and artificial excellencies 
of their subjects, to be attained only by fre- 
quent and leisurely reconsideration, elegance 
of operation, and perspicuity of arrangement. 
Mr. Pitt having been one of the auditors of 
Mr. Atwood uae hisLectures at Cambridge, 
was induced to form a more intimate acquain- 
tance with him, and finding that his talents 
would be eminently useful to the public, 
bestowed upon him in the beginning of the 
year 1784, a Sinecure Office, which is ex> 
tinguished at his decease, that he might be 
enabled to devote a large portion of his time 
to Financial calculations, in which Mr. Pitt 
employed him, to his own entire satisfaction, 
and to the great advantage of the revenue. 
The high opinion Mr. Pitt entertained of 
him, and the confidence he reposed in him 
were strengthened by experience, and Mr. 
Atwood’s labours were continued with the _ 
most zealous perseverance, until his declining 
state of health\ rendered him incapable of 
severe application.

At his house in Charlotte-street, Portiande 
place, aged 62, Nocl Desenfans, esq He wag 
born and received his’ education in France, 
and wasa fellow-student with WM. De Culonne, 
between whom and himself a friendship be- 
gan very early in life. He was profoundly 
acquainted with mankind, but his kvowiledge 
of the human heart did not produce the least 
tendency towards a misanthropic spirit. Gn 
the contrary, he was always active in the 
cause of humanity; ready to patronize une 
fricnded genius, and mitigate distress. I¢ 
was Dot necess. ary to make any particular ape 
eal to his benevolence, whenever there wag 
athopportunity ror him to promote the hap- 
piness, or relieve the wants of his tellow- 
creatures Upon all such occasions he went 
silently and immediately in pursuit of hig 
object, and the first proof of his liberality 
generally was found in the erateful acknow- 
ledgments of those whora he assisted. Hig 
taste for the Fine Arts, has long raised hig 
name in the estimation of aJl good judges,

Painting was the fivourite object of his atten=
