his death was peculiarly awful and affecting.

his conversation was seized by an apoplectic 
attack, which in an instant deprived him of 
the power of speech and motion. He was 
conveyed home and died a few hours after- 
wards. He was one of the common council 
of the city, and served the office of Sheriff in 
the vear 1794.

where he died in a few minutes.

At his house in the Shambles. Lane, 
at the advanced age of 81, Mr. John 
Coltman, many years an eminent manufac- 
turer in the hosiery and worsted trade. Mr, 
Coltman, was not less remarkable for his 
studions habits, and his various attainmente 
in literature, than for his probity as a mas 
of business, and for his exact discharge of the 
relations of husband, father, and friend. He 
was educated at the seminary of the Rev. John 
Aikin, at Kioworth, and it was his pride that 
he acqnived the frst rudiments of the Greek 
Tongue, as a fellow-student of the daughter of 
his Precepcor, the well-known Mrs. Barbauld. 
The love of letters which he acquired in this 
family, never forsook him 5 and being cne of 
the earliest members of a circulating bool 
club, the first institution of the kind, (the 
members of which resided partly at Kibworth, 
and partly at Leicester) it may safely be as- 
serted, that for halt a century, he perused 
every page of every few puolication and pe- 
riodical work that was circulated in the sa- 
ciety. In consequence o? this perseverance, 
Mr. Coltman’s mind became stored with facts 
and illustrations on every subject, and his 
conversation was sought after by every one 
who could draw him for an evening from his 
study. Being of the presbyterian persuasion, 
his talents were denied the exercise of public 
office ; he enjoyed, therefore, in a superior 
degree, the comforts of domestic life, and was 
for many years a strilcing example of the hap-= 
Ppiness which results from moderate wishes, 
from virtuous habits, and the -pursuit of 
knowledge. He had for several years past, 
been subject to attacks of the stone, and this 
complaint finally put an end cto nis life, at 
the advanced age mentioned above, but at a 
time when he was still in possession of the 
full vigour of his mental faculties, and in 
other respects of his corporeal activity. He is 
survived by an amiable widow, two sons, and 
two daughters.
