Banks purchased them all at a very liberal 
price. Mr. Sandby soon after ieuted that 
‘great naturalist in a tour through North and 
‘South Wales, where he took several sketches, 
which he transferred to copper-plates, and 
‘made several sets of prints in imitation of 
drawings in Indian ink. In 1753, he was one 
of the members of an academy which met in 
St. Martin’s-lane,and was, with several others, 
desirous of establishing a society on a broader 
basis; this was strenuously opposed by the 
celebrated Hogarth, which drew on him the 
attacks of his brother artists. ‘Among others, 
Mr. Sancby (then a very young man) pub- 
lished several prints in ridicule of his Analy- 
sis of Beauty, which, he afterwards declared, 
had he known Hogarth’s merit as he did since, 
‘he would om no account have done. On the 
institution of the Royal Academy, Mr. Sandby 
was elected a royal academician. By the 
recommendation of the Duke of Grafton, the 
Marquis of Granby appointed him in 1768, 
chief drawing-master.of the Royal Academy 
at Woolwich, which office he held till] the day 
of his death. , It is needless to deseant on his 
merits ; rade who have seen his drawings, 
can alone form an adequate judgment of the 
superiority of his taste, and the brilliancy of 
his execution. 
At Copford, Essex, Dr. Kelly, L.L.D. a na- 
tive of the Isle of Mann,upon which he reflect- 
ed no ordinary degree of honour, by his abili- 
ties, his acquirements, and his truly exemplary 
conduct, as adivine anda scholar. He pro- 
secuted his classical studies under the late 
Rev. Philip Moore, of Douglas ; whose inde- 
fatigable coadjutor he afterwards became, in 
the important work of revising, correcting, 
transcribing, and preparing fur the press, the 
manuscript translation of the holy scriptures 
into the Manks language; the impression of 
which, comprising all the books of the Old 
and New Testaments, with two of the Apo- 
cryphal books, he also superintended at

mentioned gentleman, he was appointed’ by 
the society for promoting christian know-

Sacrament, a!l in the Manks language ; and, 
in the course of his labours in this vineyard, 
he-had transcribed all the Books ot the Old 
Testament, three several times, before he 
had attained his twenty-second year! On 
thé ‘completion of this charitable work, 
begun by Bishop Wilson, who, like Bede, by 
his piety and virtue, acquired the appellation 
of venerable 5 ; and promoted by the active, 
zeal of his successor, Bishop Hildesley, Mr. 
Kelly was ordained, upon a title’ from the 
episcopal congregation at Air, where he re-
