At his residence at Scarisbrick, aged 58, 
Thomas Eccleston, esq. The agricultural 
improvements which have, during late Years, 
rendered the county of Lancaster as conspicu- 
oas as any other district in this kingdom, owes 
in avery great measure, their rise, and subse- 
quent success, to his active and enterprising 
spirit. He loved the theory as well as the 
practice of the most interesting science which 
can engage the attention of the human intel- 
lect. His pursuits were, therefore, deyoted 
to the execution of every undertaking which 
combined a hope of removing long-established 
prejudices with the prospect of future utility. 
Even ia early life, and long before most men 
exert themselves at all, he began to carry 
into effect those magnificent designs, which 
formed in more advanced life his darling oc 
cupation.—Throdghout the anxious scene in 
which he afterwards became so illustrious a~ 
cHaracter, his efforts were eminently distin- 
guished by the calm and patient consideration. 
of every circumstance which could contribute — 
to render them beneficial to the present age 
and to posterity. No suggestion which arose 
from a quarter which he had accustomed him- 
self to treat with respect, passed without hav- 
ing its due reflection; he-had the ability te 
distinguish between innovation and really use- 
ful discovery. © Whilst those who dreaded any 
changeinthe system, which, unfortunately toe 
near our own times, had palsied ‘the exertions 
of genius, and restrained the benevolence of 
patriotism, imagined that ruin and mortifica~ 
tion alone could attend schemes apparently sa 
* extravagant; toa philosophic eye the picture - 
was reversed. if it was too highly varnished, 
if it partook too much of that kind of recome © 
mendation which avoids the cusivsity of criti-
