vernor alfo affifted Mr. Almon, very confi- 
derably, in his American Remembrancer ; 
fwenty volumes: a work that is now become 
itera fearce. At the general eleCtion, 
in 17 75, Governor Pownall was elected re- 
prefentative in Parliament for Minehead, in 
Somerfetfhire. Throughout this Parliament 
he continued to oppofe every meafure that 
‘was inimical to Americae He approved of 
Mr. Grenville as a minifter, but not of his 
American meafures; which, he faid, were 
fuggefied and recommended by thofe perfons 
in America to whom he had refufed to give 
his confidence ; and who, he faid, were the 
enemies of both countries. He highly 
efteemed the late Lords Chatham and Tem- 
ple, whom he always confidered to be the 
truly difinterefted friends of their country. 
With Dr. Franklin he was alfo upon terms 
of fincere friendfhip. And he was, with 
equal ardour, the opponent of that fyftem of 
government which Mr. Burke fo happily de- 
nominated ‘* a double cabinet.” At the ge- 
neral ele€tion, in 1780, he retired from Par- 
liament: but he preferved his connection and 
friendfhip with Mr. Almon. Some time af- 
terwards he quitted Richmond, and retired 
to Bedfordfhire; but frequently vifited Lon- 
don and Bath. The following is a lift of 
Governor Pownall’s literary productions .—

beft eulogy. He was a faithful fervant to
