sll. In the tender relations of husband 
and father, he was most exemplary; and 
his memory will long be cherished for the 
piety which graced him as a christian, for 
the benevolence which distinguished him as 
a philanthropist, and for the constancy, and 
zeal, and invariable kindness, which made 
him constantly valuedas a friend —-MrRich-

At York, William Burgh, esq. LL. D. in 
whom that city, and the literary world, have 
sustained a heavy loss. His genius and ta- 
lents were of the first eminence, and they 
were always employed in the cause of re- 
ligion and good government. His religious 
principles, which were those of the Articles 
of the Church of fng! and, were strength- 
ed by mature imvestigation and research. 
The cause of religion lay nearest to his 
heart, nor could he view the progress of er- 
ror with indifference ; and he will be rank- 
ed amongst the number of those who con- 
tended ably and ‘‘ earnestly for the faith 
which was once delivcred.to the saints.”— 
The ‘Scriptural confatation of Mr. Lind- 
sey’s Apology,’’—with the subsequent ‘* In- 
quiry intothe Belief of the Christians of the 
first three centuries,’ evince, at once, the 
extent of his learning, his indefatigable in- 
dustry, the soundness of his principles and his 
zeal forthetruth, It was for the latter of these 
works that the University of Oxford,in a hand- 
some manner, conferred on him the degree 
ef Doctor of Civil Law; and they continue 
to be held in high estimation by the Heads 
of that University, having been lately re- 
commended by a learned Prelate to the 
study of all who are under preparation for 
the Church. Mr. Burgh was the most inti- 
mate and confidential friend of Mr. Mason, 
and furaished the commentary and notes to 
his celebrated poem of the ‘* English Gar- 
den.” He possessed a very extensive ac- 
qjuaintance with the first political and lite- 
rary characters of his time ; but was more 
particularly in habits of intimacy and friend- 
ship with Mr. Pitt, Mr. Burke, Mr. Wil- 
berforce, Bishop Hurd, Sir Joshua Rey- 
nolds, &c. Mr. Burgh was nearly relat- 
ed to Mr. Foster, the present Chancellor 
of the Exchequer ia Ireland, and to seve- 
ral families of the first distinction in that 
country.
