whole of this melancholy spectacle. The 
whole of the iuneral ceremony was over by 
eleven o'clock, when the procession returned

At Kentish Town, in his 94th year, Charles 
Grignion, who flourished in this country, as an 
historical engraver, upwards of halfa century. 
He had the goed fortune to pass. a portion of 
his early youth at Paris, in the-study of the 
celebrated Le Bas ; and, though his stay with 
that artist was but short, yet it was of suffi- 
cient duration to enable him to imbibe such 
sound principles as laid the foundation ofa 
style at once energetic and elegant. Having 
commenced his career in this school, he 
could draw as well as engrave; and, as he 
possessed that rare talent in his art, the 
power of giving a free and faithful translation 
ofa picture, the quality and cast of his pro- 
ductions were bold and original. His engray- 
ing was not an imitation of Audran, of Ede- 
linck, or of Fry; it was the emanation ofa 
natively vigorous mind, skilfully directed by” 
a familiar study of the ablest models, His 
best works not only possess in an eminent de- 
gree, whatever constitates. character and ex- 
pression, as the print he engraved from one 
of Hogarth’s series of election pictures abun- 
dantly proves, but they partake of that happy 
carelessness of execution, which is as much a 
characteristic beautW in the style of painting 
or engraving as it is in that of poetry. 
Mr. Grignion advanced in life, his pure old 
fashioned style was superseded by a more im- 
posing, a more finished, but a less intejligent 
manner. This revolution in engraving threw 
him into obscurity, and reduced him to pover- 
ty; but a few artists and lovers of art, to 
whom his virtues and his taleats were equal- 
ly dear, by a prompt and efficient subscription, 
Smoothed the path of his declining age, and 
enabled him to close his days in the bosom of

his family, with a contented and eratefulmind. 
This venerable engraver resigued his life with 
out any pain or struggle, and rather like one in« 
sensibly’ falling into a soft-sleep, than by the 
unerring ,hand of *¢ the King of Terrors.* 
The vital oil which supplied the lamp of life 
was exhausted merely by old age. ’ OF the 
elegant art. of English engraving, he first 
planted the seed, which has risen to such 
luxuriance and maturity, under the more ac» 
complished hands of oar chief engravers, any 
of whom he would have equalled, had he, in 
conjunction with his knowledge of drawing 
and his various taste; been competent to a 
more powerful production of effect, and to 
that mechanical dexterity of style and finish- 
ing, requisite to perfect the art, such a¢ it is 
scenin the works of our best enzravers. 
At Sidmouth, Devonshire, whither he had 
gone for the recovery of his health, the Right 
Honourable George Legge, Earl of Dartmouth, 
and Viscount Lewisham. He was called up 
as a baron to the House of Peers in 1801, 
during the lifetime of his father, and appoint- 
ed president of the Board of Controul. in the 
same year. In 1804, he succeeded his father 
in his ticles. He was lord chamberlain to his 
Majesty, and a knight of the garter; and 
was born October the 2d, 17555; was educated 
at Oxford, and obtained the degree of M.A. in 
1775, In 1774, he was returned M.P. for the 
burough of Plymouth; and, in 1780, for 
Stafturdshire 5 and, two years after was ape 
pointed one of the iords of the bedchamber to 
the Prince of Wales; and, in 1789, lord 
warden of the Stanneries. In 1783, he was 
nominated one of the commissioners of Mr, 
Fox’s new Board of Admiralty, who were to 
be assisted by a subordinate board of nine di-~ 
rectors. In the summer of 1807, he resigned 
the colonelcy of the loyal Birmingham volun- 
teers, on account of ill health. While mem- 
ber for Staitordshire, he supported the coalition 
administration, and voted tor Mr. Fox’s India 
bill. His lordship was a manof the mildest 
and most amiable manners. He married Fran 
ces, sister to the Earl of Aylesford, by whom 
he had a numerous family. He is succeeded 
in his title and estates by his son William, 
Viscount Lewisham, now in his 26th yeare 
The following lines were writtea on the late 
earl, by the Harl of Carlisle, when they were 
boys at Eton school :—= 
‘* Mild as the dew that whitens yonder plain 
2gge shines ‘serenest *midst yoer youthful

He whom the search “of fume with rapture 
MOVES, : nes aN 
Disdains the pedant, though the muse fhe 
lovesj— RLM one 
By nature formed with modesty to please, 
And joias with wisdom unaffected ease.”
